Opera Victoires by Jamie Dunford Wood

The Opera Victoires is a small boutique hotel in a great location near the great market of Les Halles. The pedestrianised street is full of mouthwatering food shops, cafes and boutiques, and while the hotel itself is on the street, the lack of cars mean that the streetside rooms, light with high ceilings, are OK noise-wise. The hotel is popular during Salon periods, with its brown and beige designer décor and Nina Ricci goodies. Standard rooms are only really suited for singles - small with showers - while deluxe's are just big enough, and light at the front. For decent space opt for a junior suite, with double windows and a sofa - though the marble bathrooms are still tiny.
