10/10 Exceptional

Paris’ best hotel for hip art, shops & bar scene
The mansion hotel, hidden just north of the Place does Vosges was a perfect base for a week in Paris. Many guest overheard in the library or lounge talked about multiple stays and generational family trips and use of the hotel. La Pavillon definitely has a special quality and connection to this ancient part of Paris. Romantic weekenders, film industry folks, honeymooners, grandparents and artists mixed easily at the casual, but elegant, breakfasts and happy hours. Most guests spoke French, but a fair share of English speakers (mostly US) were in the mix. Stylish, quiet, and well proportioned (unusual for Paris) rooms spread over several floors and courtyards of the mansion. Service was immediate, very personal, and efficient— bellmen and night porters, concierges (Merci, Arnaud!), front desk, bar staff and maintenance clearly enjoy their jobs and helping travelers. Merci toutes!
