Paris-Boutik Hotel, two places: a bookstore, a grocery store
A unique concept under the same brand, two hotel suites split into two locations, behind real shops.
One features the 4,500 books of a bookstore in the Marais as a backdrop, the other, a duplex, with two independent bedrooms, the shelves of a very real grocery store.
Designed as hotel suites, they seduce “adventurers” who love something new in two sore neighborhoods, packed with small restaurants, shops, performance halls… including the most famous, the Opéra Bastille.
From €190.

Alba Opera Hotel |
Paris 9th
Vintage decor and furniture go well with the Haussmann architecture of this hotel, which opened in 1900. Alba Opéra / Press Photo
At the end of a dead end, parallel to the rue des Martyrs and the rue Rodier, the Alba Opera, specifies: "
Here lived Louis Armstrong
".
No wonder the trumpeter was seduced by the place, as had been Toulouse Lautrec or Miguel Ángel Asturias, Nobel Prize for Literature in 1967. Today, the VIPs preserve their anonymity, too happy to stay close to Montmartre , Pigalle, the Opéra Garnier and the Grands Boulevards.
Wooden elevator from 1933, vintage decor and furniture, go well with the Haussmann architecture of this hotel opened in 1900. The owners, who are often present, have taken advantage of the confinement to revamp their suites, some of which accommodate up to 4 people.
We have a drink at the bar until noon, we have lunch or dinner when we want in room service.
And above all, we love the pastries and bread for breakfast.
From €105, breakfast €12.
The real plus:
the atmosphere and the size of the rooms (18 m2 minimum).

Opened in 1846, the Hôtel des Familles changed its name in 1970 to bear that of the composer who went to the "showroom" of the Maison Pleyel by taking the passage topped by a glass roof and paved with black and white marble.
The three-star hotel retains its original wooden facade, listed as a Historic Monument, concealing its 34 very “Mimi Pinson” rooms from passers-by.

finger food
menu .
