Built in 2002, this boutique hotel lies 400 metres from Notre Dame in the heart of the Latin Quarter's network of narrow streets.

Each of the ten individually designed guestrooms stretch over half a floor, employ bold stripes and colourful fabrics, and feature cable television, minibars and separate sitting areas. Private bathrooms present tubs with black Moroccan tiles.

Styles reminiscent of North Africa and the Napoleonic and Hausmann eras combine in the eclectic lobby, bar and French bistro, the latter of which serves a brasserie style menu along with a selection of wines.

Concierge is available at the 24-hour front desk to advise on local attractions and sights, including the Luxembourg Garden (situated at 800 metres), Louvre art gallery (1.5 kilometres) and Eiffel Tower (3 kilometres). All can be reached from the local Metro station, Saint Michel.

Paris Charles de Gaulle/Roissy Airport lies at a distance of 30 kilometres with a 40 minute driving time.
