"In the Marais, not far from the increasingly hip Canal St. Martin, is a hotel that certainly can’t be accused of excessive reverence for tradition. The Renaissance Paris République Hotel announces its intentions with its eye-catching modernist façade, whose prominent rounded window bays are the dominant architectural feature in every room. Safe to say, despite its corporate affiliation, this is no ordinary Marriott (though the service does benefit from the air of professionalism that the name implies)." - Tablet Hotels
