"A 50-room, design-forward neighborhood hotel in the Place d’Italie/Les Gobelins area that emphasizes local, family-style hospitality—themed around the French rooster with a stuffed cockerel at reception and a courtyard garden with a chicken coop. Public spaces feel homely and bohemian with colorful carpets, plentiful reading material and vintage furnishings; rooms feature custom wardrobes and oil paintings, the hotel is family-friendly with baby amenities on request and candy jars at reception, and breakfasts spotlight French producers such as Alain Milliat jams, Poilâne bread and locally roasted Terres de Café coffee. Note that there are no gym or wellness facilities." - Mary Winston Nicklin
