LE GRAND PIGALLE HÔTEL * * * *
Hotel with bohemian spirit decoration in Pigalle with rooms, some of which are attic, and a wine bar.
Romée de Goriainoff, Olivier Bon and Pierre-Charles Cros, three childhood friends, have embarked on the hotel adventure. The establishment opens on the villas of Avenue Frochot, a private city where there lived among other Toulouse-Lautrec. Pigalle's Bohemian spirit in the decoration: antique fireplaces, old and textured painted papers, brass lamps and handles, bathrooms with tiled bathrooms, mahogany offices. Some rooms are attic. The hotel has a wine bar which offers more than 200 dishes with dishes cooked by Giovanni Passerini, head of the Rino restaurant, with the group sommelier, Nicolas Smith. There is a card at the counter for the most discerning and the breakfast complete.

The rooms are super cute, very Parisian and the staff and amenities at the hotel are all worth it. The location is close to pigalle station on the metro and a quick 20 minute walk to Gare du Nord. When we arrived on the train, we walked to the hotel and found it with ease.
Our plans changed and we had to change our stay to just one night in this hotel, so when I changed the booking, I picked a regular room. When we arrived, the staff were so warm and welcoming and they even upgraded us to the grand room, so that was a nice surprise to us! It made our quick stay just that much more memorable. The room had a view of the streets and the buildings around, but still was fairly quiet at night and for being a relatively popular area.
The bed was comfortable, and the room had a lot of space.
The restaurant on the ground floor has a lot of great options, highly recommend.
Biggest takeaway is that the walls are SO thin. We could fully hear every word spoken in the room across the hall from ours. The halls, elevators, and rooms are cramped and dark. We were woken up several times by drunk guests walking up the stairwell because all the walls are so thin. We slept every night with white noise and ear plugs.
Every time someone in the hallway walked through or unlocked or opened the door or spoke in the hallway, we could hear it as if it were our own. The single elevator couldn’t fit the two of us with minimal luggage.
The staff was kind though.
Ultimately, I don’t think this felt like a 4 star hotel, and I wouldn’t stay here again.
The best thing was how kind the staff were, in particular Alex. He was so kind and thoughtful. On our last day, he purchased a box of madelines for our daughter (simply because I said she liked them). These little touches are truly special. Thanks for a lovely stay.
We visited in January which may be why we found the location quiet and restful. I cannot vouch for volume levels during peak travel season, but I suspect the convenience of the location would more than offset the irritation of any street noise.
