The concept was daring: to offer tourists from all over the world the chance to sleep in a... boutique. Do you like boutique hotels? You'll undoubtedly love Paris Boutik. The capital has two locations boutique hotel in Paris What are the Librairie, in the heart of the Marais, and the Épicerie. We tested the former, for a Parisian stay that was not quite like others.

Your 45 m² suite2 Located in the heart of the Marais, this will allow you to experience Parisian life and discover unique designer shops and unmissable restaurants. Designed for both romantic getaways and family stays, the Librairie will surprise you: here, books reign supreme, they are everywhere and ensure a warm atmosphere. There are even some in the bathroom!

The Library has a king-size bed and a sofa bed. You can also request a travel cot to be made available when booking. The bedroom area can be separated from the living area by a curtain. Practical and especially pleasant, the bathroom has a bathtub.

Despite its proximity to the street, the bookstore is perfectly soundproofed, which is very pleasant knowing you're in such a lively neighborhood. In the morning, if you don't feel like exploring the nearby spots, you can opt for breakfast in your room: Paris Breakfast will deliver it to your bed.

In a nutshell

  • You have the feeling of being at home while enjoying many services.
  • The geographical location is ideal.
  • The innovative concept will totally transport you.

Restoration: Pinson Café

You can eat healthily and deliciously here. Open continuously on weekdays and offering a delicious brunch on Sundays, Café Pinson welcomes both foodies and gourmands eager to try a revitalizing quinoa bowl and vegan dessert aficionados. We're falling for the homemade granola and Energy Balls that will allow us to cross all of Paris on foot without faltering.

A bright, peaceful, and warm place where Parisians who love healthy and delicious food gather.
