Why we recommend it
Hôtel Henriette is a small boutique hotel on Rue des Gobelins in the 13th arrondissement, on a quiet street close to the historic Gobelins tapestry manufactory. It has 32 bedrooms, each individually designed with a mix of vintage furniture, bold colours, patterned fabrics and pieces found at flea markets, giving the hotel a personal, homely atmosphere rather than the uniform look of a chain.
The rooms vary in size and layout, and the decor changes from one to the next, so it is worth looking at the photos on the hotel's website and choosing a room type that suits you. Each room combines comfortable beds and modern bathrooms with a strong sense of style, and the small scale of the hotel gives it a calm, personal atmosphere. The hotel is more about comfort and character than extensive facilities, which helps keep prices lower than in more central boutique hotels, and the surrounding streets supply the cafés and restaurants.
The hotel suits couples, solo travellers and families who want a calm, affordable base on the Left Bank, away from the busiest tourist streets but still within walking distance of the main sights. The quiet street makes it a good choice for light sleepers, and the neighbourhood has a local, residential feel with markets, cafés and bakeries.
Prices are in the mid-range for Paris. Book directly through the hotel's website for the full choice of rooms, and contact the team at [email protected] with any special requests. Rooms are popular in spring and autumn, so booking early is advisable. The neighbourhood also has several street markets during the week, and the large open-air Marché Auguste-Blanqui is a short walk away, which is useful for picking up fruit, cheese and bread.
Les Gobelins station on metro line 7 is a few minutes' walk away, and Place d'Italie, served by lines 5, 6 and 7, is close by for connections. Rue Mouffetard, with its street market, food shops and bars, and the Latin Quarter are a short walk away, as are the Jardin des Plantes, the Grande Mosquée de Paris and the Panthéon. The Butte-aux-Cailles, a village-like area with cafés and street art, is about 15 minutes away on foot.
