A literary hotel that pays homage to Marcel Proust, with comfort and technology in its rooms on six floors.
The owners of this hotel decided to pay tribute to Marcel Proust and his literary work. At the beginning of 20th century Guillaume Apollinaire frequented this establishment called on the time le Grand Hôtel de l'Europe. The rooms on six floors with a lift are classified in " Parisienne", "Belle Parisienne" and " Grande Parisienne" according to their size. Then they have names as Venice, Verdurin Balbec, and others, all from proustiens novels. On the glass partition of the bathroom, there are some lines of a manuscript of Proust and on the bedside tables are engraved famous photos of the writer. Small culinary wink: a madeleine on the table in the room ... In the stairs you will notice a beautiful costume: the mantelet jet pearl carried the marchioness of Aligre, described in Sodome and Gomorrhe. In the hundreds of works of Proust translated in all languages... Bref, a literary hotel where the comfort and the technical aspect are far from being forgotten.

L’emplacement top
Les chambres sont spacieuses et très propres, cependant petit bémol sur l'insonorisation.
Idée ingénieuse de glisser un livre dans les chambres, cela permet de redécouvrir le plaisir de la lecture des grands classiques!
Les gros bonus : des produits de toilettes de qualité, un personnel très poli et l'accès à l'intérieur de l'hôtel est sécurisé (besoin de la carte magnétique pour appeler l'ascenseur notamment)
Je pense continuer à venir chez eux et recommandé cet hôtel littéraire à mes amis et collègues de travail.

Our sofa bed wasn't made and the TV didn't work, so that was quite a bummer. We did get free cocktails for the bed not being made for us, so that was really lovely!
