“With only 10 individually designed rooms, this hideaway in the Latin Quarter is the ideal choice for intimacy and romance.”
The Villa d'Estrees on the Left Bank of the Seine and has just 21 suites, studios and apartments, making this a great long-stay option for a boutique hotel in Paris. The tone here is modern French Empire - the designer worked with Jacques Garcia, of the Hotel Costes, and his influence can be seen in the Moroccan tiled bathrooms, the mulberry and duck-egg blue colours, and the canopied beds.
The facilities
Old military prints grace the walls. The reception area is small and discreet, and doubles as a breakfast area in the morning. There are free quality English newspapers every day, adding a thoughtful touch. However, there is no other public space, so this is more of a boutique all-suite residence than a boutique hotel.
The rooms
The first floor rooms in this boutique hotel have high ceilings. There are just two to each floor - the main part of Villa d’Estrees has just ten suites - and the right hand ones are squarer, classed as large doubles, while the left hand ones are oblong in shape, slightly larger, and more suite-like while others are Asian-themed. All 21 rooms have power showers and the apartments, in a neighbouring building have small kitchens and two rooms, best for a three person stay. The best of them are on the first and second floors, with beamed ceilings.
