What You Need to Know
The Look
The property was designed by French fashion designer Christian Lacroix. Each floor pays homage to the traditional cabinet makers who occupied the historic neighborhood, as well as the fashionable boutiques that now line the cobblestone streets. The hotel is housed in a former 17th-century convent, and its ultra-modern interior is a kaleidoscope of bright colors, textures, and eclectic patterns. The entire space looks almost too hip and cool, yet feels extremely comfortable and inviting.
The Vibe
Because of its reasonable price point, central location, modern aesthetic, and thoughtful amenities, Hotel L’Antoine suits a wide range of visitors, from arty solo travelers to couples, to young families.
Who Will Love It
The young and hip crowd who love being in the heart of the cool BoBo (the bohemian bourgeoisie, a term akin to the American hipster).
Who Might Not
Serial sightseers who want to be a stone’s throw from major tourist attractions may not love using the (easy-to-navigate) Paris Metro to get around.
Best Amenity
We love the complimentary breakfast buffet, which is generously served until 11 a.m. every day. Here, you'll find pastries, fresh fruit, a selection of cheese and cold cuts, scrambled or boiled eggs, as well as crispy bacon and hot breakfast sausages.
