"Hotelier Thierry Costes and artist/club impresario André have come together again for a follow-up to their ever-popular Hotel Amour, doubling the space to accommodate the demand for their particular brand of Parisian cool. Each room is individually decorated with some incredible vintage finds and a scattering of artwork by the likes of Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin. Meanwhile, downstairs, the all-day café/bistro is the place to see and be seen by locals, expats, and even Saraiva himself. "
"When it comes to boutique hotels in Paris, there’s love, and then there’s big love. Love, in this case, is the original Hotel Amour, located in the Pigalle quarter — Grand Amour, in the 10th arrondissement, is the second incarnation. The sister hotels have almost everything in common. Both are passion projects by a creative powerhouse, graffiti artist turned nightlife entrepreneur André Saraiva, and his team of hotshot designers. Both hotels have bars and restaurants that are magnets for stylish Parisians. And neither is located in one of Paris’s more refined neighborhoods. That’s no mistake: the vibe here is edgy and seductive, not prim and proper." - Tablet Hotels
Great for drinks, v fun people watching. Sit by the aquarium or the open air section, although they close at 12 bc of actual hotel guests. Move to the back area with standing bar
