When traveling, I usually opt for hotels vs. AirBnbs - it's my preference as lodging is part of the overall trip experience for me. That being said, I looked into several options when planning my trip to Paris. Les Bains stood out for several reasons - the vibe, the history, and the price. That being said, I decided to book it for my first trip to the city. As with my other hotel reviews, I'll break this down into pros and cons - so here we go! There's a lot to like about Les Bains. I think the most impressive thing about it is the history. The space was originally a bathhouse, which then became a nightclub, and then finally a hotel. The nightclub is still functioning, being pretty famous in pop culture. The decor of the hotel overall was very tasteful - lots of high-end finishes in the lobby and restaurant area that extended into the rooms. The decor was also modeled a little after the history of the space with images of club culture in the halls. The amenities of the hotel are another plus - in addition to the club, there's a pool, a onsite restaurant/bar, room service, and a separate store across the street that sells merch. The room was also a decent size, and had large doors that opened to let in fresh air. My favorite feature in the room was the bathroom - specifically the heated floors and heated towel racks. It's something I never knew I needed until I had it - I need to explore how I can get these in my own bathroom. The location was also a plus for me, though this can be relative to what you want to do. Personally, I was able to walk most places or take the metro so I had no complaints. As far as cons, I don't have many. Like I said, the location might be less than ideal depending on what you want to do, and this may not be everyone's style of hotel. From my perspective though, this was a superior hotel and really made my first trip to Paris memorable. The room, amenities, and the staff were all top drawer, and I would definitely consider staying here again. read more

I had an absolutely extraordinary stay here. I used miles to pay for the room, so I can't comment on the price/quality ratio, but I know that my gorgeous and spacious junior suite, with an enormous private terrace, would be quite pricey. The property is beautiful outside, and inside the lobby it is warm, inviting, and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was clean, comfortable, cozy, and spacious, and the bathroom (heated floor, thank you very much) had the best shower I think I've ever used in my life - a ginormous rainforest head that felt luxurious and, honestly, gluttonous. The large tub sat unused during my stay, but looked smart. The terrace was a gift in beautiful Paris weather, with comfortable seats and lots of room for entertaining, should you happen to have 5 or 6 friends who want to visit you at your hotel. The room wasn't quite ready when they said it would be upon my arrival, so they invited me for a drink at the handsome bar off the lobby until I could go up to my room. When I finally got there, there was a complimentary bottle of champagne on ice waiting for me. The housekeepers were deft and attentive, freshening up my room before the evening, and leaving small cookies and madeleines as a treat. There was a piece of lovely stationery to write a letter on, with my name printed as if I had an office on the premises. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can stay here. read more

Beautiful place. Beautiful people. Must do! Used to have real baths. Now fancy drinks and beautiful door men.

This has got to be the coolest hotel in the coolest city in the world!! The rooms are small (although I guess they are normal size for Paris) but ours had a big outdoor deck with pretty greenery, birds, and an outdoor shower. Everything in the hotel is stylishly put together. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Plus - the food! The breakfasts are HUGE and delicious. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant twice because it's so good - especially the falafel and ravioli. One night we were exhausted from a really long day so we asked if we could eat our dinner quietly on our room's deck. The chef and staff were super awesome and made this happen, even though it was a Saturday night and the restaurant was super busy. We are coming back to stay at Les Bains in November, can't wait! read more

Les Bains Paris - Hotels Near Me - Paris, 75

This was my first trip to Paris and it has to be one of the greatest city's in Europe! The team at Les Bains has to be one of the most charming and gracious group of people I have met during my trip! Quentin, Paul and Sandy were so delightful to speak to and engage with during the trip! The hotel itself is wonderful and centrally located for all the sites. If you are a breakfast person I would highly recommend the avocado toast and egg white omelette! The omelette was sooo fluffy and looked like a cloud! I will definitely be coming back! Merci Les Bains! read more

This hotel deserves 10 stars rather than just five. The management and staff go over the top to take care of its customers and give exceptional service. The beds are extremely comfortable, in fact we bought a set of the sheets. Even in the summer, the heated bathroom floors were wonderful. When you are here, check out the colorful history. We will definitely stay here again when we come to Paris. read more

Our stay was amazing. Eric at the front desk was great. He made sure everything and anything we needed was perfect for our stay. This boutique hotel was a 5 for me. The location was a great one. Close to many things and a convenient spot. I will definitely recommend this establishment. Thanks again from San Francisco, California USA read more

Sumptuous, hip and genteel, Les Bains is a gorgeous boutique hotel, discretely tucked away on a side street with almost no sign that it is there at all. The lobby is small and understated, but every detail has been beautifully designed and perfectly rendered. The bar/ restaurant drew me in with its undulating crimson ceiling, and even when busy it is quiet (at last, a quiet bar!!) because the walls have been made from sound absorbing panels. The cocktail bar area has a nice and sociable feel, and I found the staff helpful and friendly. I could hang out alone there for hours. My room was great too- big bed, lovely linens, and lots of well thought out space. The sofa in each room is a comfy replica of Warhol's couch. The light switches took a little getting used to- they are little levers you push down to turn on, push down again to turn off. Everything you expect from a room, but really nicely finished. They also have a nightclub in the basement (it has a small pool in it- a legacy of Les Bains Douche), but you can't hear it from the hotel at all. The acoustics of the club are extraordinarily good- it never feels deafening (again I think they worked out the acoustics really well). Access to Paris is very good- it's near 3 metro stops, is in the heart of all sorts of life with cafes all around, and is a 20 minute walk from Gare du Nord. I loved my stay. read more

I stayed at Les Bains from Saturday, July 14th though Monday July 16th during my stay in Paris. I must say my stay at this location added to making my visit to a different Country an even more fabulous experience. I made my reservations with ease via internet three months prior and when I had to shorten the reservation about three weeks prior to my arrival It still was an easy change of reservations. I found the staff to be professional, hospitable and courteous. Our concierge was very knowledgeable of Paris monuments, sightseeing attractions, events, appropriate modes of transportation to take to specific locations, times etc. I know you are saying that is a Concierge job. But she was EXCELLENT! I did not get lost or have doubts in anything she told us. I ordered room service for my husband and I breakfast. It was a delicious feast. The drinks at the bar was great. Front desk made sure your presence was known. Valet was great. Love my cute room. I loved the antique accessories the hotel displays. Love the different mint green color scheme. I can't say there was anything I did not LOVE about this Hotel. We did not get to visit the club area. read more

We came to celebrate an anniversary and they were super accommodating to us. Upon check in, Nicolas was so gracious and friendly to us. He gave us a great tour of the hotel and even showed us the club there as well since I was curious about their famous club. The room is stylish and nice and had 2 opening windows, not really a full balcony but a ledge. A very Parisian feel! The only thing was the bathroom was quite small and there was no tub. The room is clean and their decor is fun and cool. We were given a bowl of fresh fruit along with Evian water which was amazing. Also drink tickets for that night which they were hosting a Fashion Week Party with live DJs which was also a treat. The breakfast buffet there is 20 Euro and was pretty good. I also enjoyed checking out the Les Bains Boutique which sells the hotel products along with a coffee bar. I think the location is great if you want to be in Marais and the service was also great from Nicolas who gave us a warm welcome. read more

Small boutique hotel off on a side street. Restaurant / bar on the ground floor, club in the basement. The bar was busy every night. Great place to stop in before / after going out. We had a balcony room facing the outdoor section of the bar, but still barely heard a sound. The restaurant La Salle a' Manger was one of the best meals we had in Paris. The staff was unbelievable. Extremely friendly and helpful. Gave us great recommendations based on what we are into not what is popular. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Best hotel I've stayed at in Paris. Next time I go back I will be staying there again. read more

Had drinks at the bar and been to the club but that was the first time at the restaurant and I really liked it. Really nice waiter and a great welcoming. The dishes are original and diverse. Good for gluten free, lactose free (special marks) and vegetarians! I recommend the lavender drink I have with champagne and gin that was really light and original read more

Sultry sexy hotel. We stayed in a suite equipped with a velvet sofa. It's dark and beautiful, exactly what you think of a Parisian hotel. Within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The restaurant inside the hotel has great food. We enjoyed our balcony as well, it was overlooking the restaurant courtyard (only issue was the room did smell like food). Updated bathroom with A HUGE shower. read more

I had the best stay her for my birthday. The rooms are huge, the staff is very friendly. They have Le Labo for your bath care and it smells so good! The location is also great, safe neighborhood with good casual food options nearby. I will be coming back here and telling all my friends read more

Quirky yes, but I loved this hotel. Great design and a solid restaurant if you're lazy. Club downstairs if you're feeling like a late night...has it all. Really though, the staff and design made this a real winner. If I come back to Paris anytime soon it is at the top of my list. read more

This hotel blew me away. My boyfriend and I stayed in a classic room, which was plenty roomy. Every single detail of the room was impeccable. Beautiful terrace balcony, gorgeous books lining the shelves, beautiful wallpaper on the ceiling in the bathroom, relaxing rain head shower, yummy Le Labo products, Les Bains cologne for use during your stay, sumptuous robes and slippers. It's just a beautifully designed hotel with careful attention to small details. The restaurant/bar and night club were busy, but we never heard any noise from our room. Very well sound proofed. Room service excellent. Loved getting coffee service every morning. Wonderful dessert tray delivered to our room for my birthday. Concierge Frederic was incredibly helpful. The entire staff were all top notch. Fabulous hotel. Fabulous location to all things hip. We will definitely be staying at Les Bains every time we visit Paris. Cannot recommend this hotel enough! read more

Les Bains Paris - The rooms, looking, beds, linens, carpets and lobby all superb. Make this your next stay in Paris! - Hotels Near Me - Paris, 75

This is the most amazing hotel and restaurant. It is a top designed, art filled chic spot that is a place to be in the City of Lights. I highly recommend staying here if you're cultured couture conscious. This place is only ROCK N' ROLL but I like it!!! read more

While it looked like an attractive hotel at check in they demanded we book a separate room for our small children (6 and 9). All other SPG properties in Paris have a kids free policy but this one refuses. And then of course last minute rates of 490 euro a night. No thank you. We moved to another SPG property without an issue. read more

Expensive, dark, and loud at night (we were on the 3rd floor). Odd room design too - the toilet is in a separate room (more like a large closet) from the sink and shower. Not a bad place, but I'd save your hard-earned money and rent an apartment through Airbnb. read more
