Hôtel Joséphine

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Life's a cabaret at this novel, four-star boutique address in Pigalle. Named after 1920s cabaret star Josephine Baker, the hotel has 41 rooms with richly patterned wallpapers broken up by solid colours and 1930s period furniture and light fittings. Black-and-white cabaret photos decorate walls, and downstairs in the sociable library-lounge there's an honesty bar, free coffee and board games.
