Hotel Tourville is a charming four-star hotel in central Paris. Quiet and cosy, it puts service and a home-from-home atmosphere before all else, making it a firm favourite with those-in-the-know. While it lacks the glitz and glamour of some of its neighbours, it provides a complete haven from the bustling city outside and boasts a great location for sightseeing, just a stroll away from the Eiffel Tower, Musée d'Orsay and les Invalides.

The facilities

Interiors-wise, the hotel is elegant and traditional. Its communal areas, though not extensive, are very well-maintained. There's no restaurant, but there is a cosy lounge area for pre-dinner drinks, and a small, ivy-clad courtyard for lazy summer evenings.

The rooms

Each of Hotel Tourville's 30 guestrooms is individually furnished and decorated with paintings, lamps and antique furniture. The warm colours (golden yellow, sand and rose-pink) exude a sense of peace and quiet, and all come with flat screen televisions, air conditioning, private safes and wifi connection. The suites boast private terraces/balconies and well-stocked minibars.
