Castex Hôtel

Equidistant from Bastille and Le Marais, the 30-room Castex retains a certain 17th-century charm with its vaulted stone cellar that makes an atmospheric spot for breakfast (€13), terracotta floor tiles and toile de Jouy wallpaper. Try to get one of the independent doubles or family-friendly two-room suite of connecting doubles off the lovely patio.
