"The east side of Paris is hipper than ever, thanks in part to a vibrant youth culture that stands in stark contrast to the much-mythologized tourist sites closer to the center. Ten years ago it would have been strange to stay in a hotel that’s closer to Belleville and Père Lachaise cemetery than to the Louvre or Notre-Dame. But that’s exactly where the hôtel de la Nouvelle République is — five minutes from the Place de la République, from which it takes part of its name — and with its retro-inspired, earth-toned contemporary interiors, it presents a fresh, comfortable, and attainable perspective on modern Parisian hospitality." - Tablet Hotels
