A Sunny & Lively Stay in the Ninth Arrondissement - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel
"A small, unapologetically French boutique hotel in the ninth arrondissement that balances classic Parisian charm with lively nightlife. The 63-room building features wrought-iron balconies, a long mirrored arrival hallway, and a welcoming, helpful staff who offer luggage assistance, neighborhood tips, and complimentary cappuccinos and carafes of sparkling water. The standout is a light-filled internal courtyard under a glass ceiling—strung with exposed bulbs and lush foliage—where guests enjoy a simple yet high-quality buffet breakfast (fresh croissants, crusty country bread, cheese, charcuterie, scrambled eggs, and pastries) by day and DJ-hosted parties by night; the music is energetic but contained to the courtyard so it rarely disturbs rooms. Rooms range from whimsical junior suites with pale-pink palettes and vintage phonographs to a penthouse with opera views, all featuring bright windows, immaculate white-tiled bathrooms stocked with premium toiletries, and thoughtfully eclectic design touches. Located centrally with easy access to major attractions, it presents a youthful, light-filled Parisian vibe and rates that start around $348 per night."
