Hôtel La Lanterne

Latin Quarter


A stunning swimming pool and hammam in a vaulted stone cellar, a topiary-filled courtyard garden, contemporary guest rooms (some with small balconies) with black-and-white photos of Parisian architecture, amenities including Nespresso machines, and an honesty bar make this a jewel of a boutique hotel. Breakfast is a choice of hot and cold buffets and includes Mariage Frères teas.
