"A friendly 41-room hideaway near Montparnasse and the Luxembourg Gardens known for personable service, a jazz-filled lobby and a light-filled glass-capped lounge. Rooms start at 183 square feet and come with Nespresso machines and L’Occitane amenities; deluxe room no. 403 is prized for its leafy green wall mural and balcony overlooking rue Stanislas, and four suites are configured for families with sofa beds. A small subterranean spa with a treatment room and hammam is planned for expansion and can be privatized with bookings." - Mary Winston Nicklin
