About the only thing wrong with this epicentral Marais address is everyone knows about it; book well in advance. Some of the 34 streamlined, modernised rooms retain timber beams or exposed stone walls, while others have feature walls with patterned wallpaper. The pièce de résistance: the 6th-floor attic room (accessible by lift) with a sweeping Paris rooftop view. Breakfast is €12.
