Hôtel des Academies et des Arts - Paris 6

I didn’t intend to stay at this hotel, but I am very glad I found it. Early in my trip to Paris, I discovered black mold in my first room at another hotel. ||I called and researched a few hotels but Hotel Des Academies et Des Arts was the only one to help me. Amenise was polite, thoughtful, friendly, and willing to find me a room for the same or less cost than where I previously stayed. ||The hotel is in a wonderful part of the 6e, a few hundred feet from Jardin du Luxembourg and less than 2 min from the Vavin metro station. It’s extremely safe, upscale, and calm. Noise was never a concern. If you plan to take the RER train to and from CDG, the Port Royal station in 6e is within walking distance of this hotel. ||I stayed in a double room which was surprisingly spacious by Parisian hotel room standards with a big closet. Bed itself was comfortable though the pillow were very “mushy.” If you prefer firm pillows ask for extra or a different style.

This is a charming boutique hotel in a convenient location. The room was small (as is the norm in Paris) but in a good way, quite comfy and uniquely appointed. Mainly, the staff was so friendly and excellent, especially the lovely front desk lady who assisted me with a phone charger and general kindness, and the young gentleman who assisted me with coffee. I’d definitely stay here again!

We loved this place but last time we went to lady concierge was really dry and short compare to the usual super friendly guys. |Additonally, the room we got needed some deep clean, carpet and bed were stained.|Shame as we agree it's a very nice located and decorated hotel with usually super service. |Please keep up to good work and don't sleep on your laurels, you created something nice take care of it!

What an incredible, friendly and kind staff. I was welcomed in the warmest way possible and it immediately made me relax and feel safe. Very charming and calm, beautifully decorated, and great location. Thank you for making my birthday extra special.

I traveled solo in June 2025 and this hotel exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the immaculate decor. The service is flawless, and I want to give special recognition to Ammanis, whose kindness, patience, and efficiency truly made my stay memorable. Thanks to her, I felt completely at home — only better. This kind of service turns a great hotel into an unforgettable one.

We wanted to stay somewhere within walking distance of Gare Montparnasse, and this hotel was perfect. Located on a quiet street just off the Boulevard Raspail, it’s in an interesting neighbourhood which is convenient for bars and restaurants. Our room was a good size, the bed was large and extremely comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean and the artistic touches set it apart from other hotels. The staff were without exception friendly and helpful, but special thanks go to Amenis and Lamine for their warm welcome.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. It’s in a great location in Montparnasse, very close to Vavin underground station and lots of places to eat nearby. Staff were really friendly, professional and accommodating at all hours of the day. Breakfast was delicious, varied and plentiful. The only drawback was that noise carries and we were disturbed at night by the noise from other guests in their rooms (we had to use ear plugs).

We loved our stay at Hotel des Académies et des Arts. The hotel is full of character and charm in a wonderful location. Easy walking distance to the metro, great restaurants and bakeries as well as the beautiful Luxembourg gardens. What really made our stay exceptional was the staff, Amenis and Asmae went above and beyond to make us as comfortable as possible, thank you for the most wonderful time, we hope to be back one day!

First off, they have air conditioning. When it's mid-90's in Paris, and you're logging some serious steps on the Fitbit every day to see the city, it's a nice thing to come home to. We booked two rooms for the four of us, and had plenty of space. Like, normal hotel space. I wasn't doing a gymnastics routine in there or anything, but I felt like we could move around and not constantly be in each other's way. The rate we chose had breakfast included, so we began every morning with baskets of bread, some coffee, fruit, and yogurt. After that, we were loaded up on carbs and caffeine and ready to venture out. We loved the location of the hotel. Several Metro and bus stops close. Restaurants and cafes all over the place. A laundromat a 1-minute walk away (which was good because I only let everyone bring one backpack). It wasn't near any tourist hotspots, so it was quiet and the neighborhood had a nice, laid-back vibe. They have a concierge on-duty 24 hours a day, so there's always someone to welcome you back and offer any assistance you may need. The staff was exceedingly helpful and polite. In the afternoon you can help yourself to coffee, tea, and some packaged biscuits (that my children helped themselves to many times). There's a nice sitting room where you can sit and talk. Or be on your phones if you're pre-teen and angsty about spending so much time with your family. Overall, great place. I'll stay there again when we return to Paris.

Wonderful stay, great service. We had a few issues with our bank but the staff was very accomodating. They were very informative about the local areas, and their english was more than exquisite in an understandable sense! We didnt have breakfast included, so we skipped that aspect of the hotel during the morning, but the rooms were amazing and cozy, and the beds were perfect and comfortable. As the hotel is built along a street, you can see how it bends along the street aswell, which was very cool! I would reccomend this place for any purpose you'd be here, as it has easy access to the metro, and many good restaurants nearby. Thanks for the read!

Since my visit to the hotel. I can't get that nice smell from the candles out of my head. Can anyone give me the fragrance of the candle? So that I can find something similar in America. Thanks

This is a nice upscale boutique hotel in the south of the 6 arridosment. The rooms are definitely small but that is pretty standard of European hotel rooms. The rooms though are nice, clean, and modern. The art theme is great and makes the hotel very unique. The staff were all incredibly nice and helpful and the front desk employees all spoke very good English. The hotel is in a good location just off of Montparnass Boulevard, which is a lively street full of restaurants. It's also just a 5 minute walk from Jardin du Luxembourg. Transportation is easy from here with a few bus stops close by and several metro lines a 5 minute walk in different directions.

Had a wonderful stay here, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Paris. After much research, booked this hotel as it had the best balance of amenities and price. On arrival, my expectations were met. I wasn't crazy about the decor, but taste is subjective and everything else was very good. Staff was great, location is great, and rooms were very comfortable. Small, yes, but comfortable, and air-conditioned! After suffering high temperatures out in the provinces with no A/C, it was a luxury I relished in Paris. The Metro station is right outside the hotel, and there is plenty of good stuff within walking distance - I was happy with the fruits and vegetables I got from a stand across the street, and on the weekend there were outdoor markets with all kinds of great things.

Found this through Mr. & Mrs. Smith .com and for the price I couldnt be happier. Small (hey it's Pairs, dont hang out in the room!) but comfy and super nice staff downstairs. Little place, just a few rooms but I'd stay there again for sure. Very pretty decon inside. much nicer boutique hotel than staying in a boring chain.

We really enjoyed the location of the hotel in Montparnasse. It was near Luxembourg gardens and a quick walk to three different subway lines. The room was pretty small - expected for Paris - however its lay-out worked really well, where a couple wont trip over each other. All and all, I still find it hard to shake the fact the rooms cost $270/night - only in Paris!

Quiet and Quaint I stayed here in May '98 and it was a lovely, quiet clean room really close to the boul. Montparnasse. Rooms are furnished with 1950's wallpaper and beddings. Mme Charles was very helpful and friendly, mais vous devez parler francais !!! A. Rochard, Toronto.
