Hotel Amour
A sultry stay in the center of the city.
Absolute Highlight
The “so Paris” vibe at the beautiful glass-topped courtyard restaurant.
In a nutshell
No. of rooms
24
The design aesthetic is...
artsy, quirky, sexy, colourful & retro-ish. Everything is love-themed. Borderline kitsch but tasteful and fun. A handful of the rooms are designed by artists and Chantal Thomass (a French lingerie designer!).
The typical guest is...
young, cool and fashionable with a dash of hipster. A lot of English speaking guests, especially during fashion week.
The sustainability features (ie. plastic free, recycling, green wall, garden) are...
a very green patio and courtyard, and limited towels...
The location is...
excellent - in Paris’ 9th district between Pigalle and Montmartre.
Interaction is encouraged by....
hanging out at the vibrant bar and restaurant always packed with both hotel guests and local Parisians. AND by the thin walls where you’ll most likely be overhearing your neighbours’ “amour making”.
You should stay here because
of the unique love-themed rooms, the cool and sexy atmosphere, the vibe at the restaurant and bar (more than the food), the great location, and because it’s become a true Paris staple... not to mention the history (it was a brothel back in the day)!
