Hotel Chaplain Rive Gauche

The hotel is located at the top of the Latin Quarter, and close to the lively district of Montparnasse and its tower. Cinemas, restaurants, bars and clubs make up the nightlife of the area. In the opposite direction, you will come to Paris' largest and most beautiful park: Jardin du Luxembourg - the capital city's green lung; it is a mere 5-minute stroll away. An extra 10 minutes will take you to the heart of the Latin Quarter, giving you the time to admire the beauty and peacefulness of this district's rich history and architecture. The closest underground station is Vavin. Port-Royal station enables you to get to Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport and the Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord-Villepinte thanks to the RER train line.

Renovated two years ago, the Chaplain Rive Gauche has opted for the same modern decoration as a few other Parisian hotels at the moment - warm colours, soft materials, original lighting and shapes: do not forget to take a look at the 'chandelier' in the lobby, which, by the way, is also used as a breakfast room. A tree-filled interior courtyard is set up with tables and chairs which means that guests can go and have a coffee when the weather's nice. Tea is available at will for the guests, who can go and help themselves from the designated area.

This hotel's 25 rooms are divided into several categories: Classique, Club & Privilège. We visited the second category: the size is comfortable as the rooms are approximately 16m². The decoration is a real success and is to be found in every room - a large frame displaying the smile of a famous person (Brigitte Bardot, Josephine Baker, Marilyn Monroe or the Mona Lisa) hangs on the wall over the bed. Beautiful lamps hang from the ceiling on both sides of the bed and as far as the amenities are concerned, everything is there - individual air-conditioning, Wi-Fi internet access and a free safe and even the soft drinks of the minibar are free: now, that's unusual! The bathrooms are equipped with either a shower or a bathtub. This hotel tends to be expensive for its category.
