Grand Hotel Dechampaigne is a Parisian boutique hotel. Located in a quiet neighborhood of central Paris on a really quirky corner that my cabbie circled twice!! If your not lookin you will miss it! lol
If you want to get your Parisian bohemian vibe on this bourgeois hotel is a great place to start. It's very quaint, smallish rooms but extremely tidy, ornate, old fashioned style. Crazy colors & def not modern, the building is over 400 years old & sorta looks like your french grandmothers place, but in a nice cozy way. The terrace rooms are the best. They have awesome views & are quite romantic ;)
I arrived late my flight had been delayed, half my luggage didn't make it & my BFF had already checked into this hotel into a terrace room on the 5th floor that had a sweet little balcony & awesome views of the rooftops of Paris. Just lovely.
My BFF hooks me up with a shower, glass of wine & starts singing "Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" Im like I thought you would never ask boo. LOL
So I just stayed till I got my luggage then switched later to my hotel.
However, this place is great, I would totally stay here again. So comfy & cozy. We both had a blast at this hotel bc we could just walk everywhere just like being in NYC.
I loved that it was in a neighborhood away from all the tourist & loved the little market/convenient store right around the corner where you can buy wine, yogurt, fruit, croissants etc.,
It's also steps away from Concord Square & Rue de Rivoli, which is always fun with tons of great shops & restaurants to choose from. Or you can take a short walk over to the very beautiful Tuileries Garden or walk over & shop till you drop on the Champs Élysées.
It's also only one block from the River Seine, one block or so from the Châtelet/les Halles Metro Station, & a short walk to Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle, Pont Nuf, Latin Quarter, St Mitchell, The Louvre & D'Orsay.
We also walked to the Arc de Triomphe & the Eiffel Tower from the hotel.
What I liked most about this little boutique hotel was the incredibly professional staff & attention to detail. Old fashioned in the best of ways. I also LOVED the complimentary stationary. Both the paper & envelopes were of quality paper & in the prettiest blue. Perfect for hand written letters from Paris.
Highly recommend. read more
