The Hôtel Jeanne d'Arc feels much like an elegant country home with an artistic touch. Only a block from the Place des Vosges, this peaceful hotel provides 36 nicely decorated and nicely equipped rooms for reasonable prices.
Rooms are the epitome of classic—well-appointed with polished wood nightstands and headboards. Attractive art adds some flair to the otherwise restrained decor. Bathrooms with tubs are sizable. Request ahead.
The classic modesty doesn't extend to the lobby and hallways—this is where the Jeanne d'Arc gets its funky twist. Late 19th-century-style repro paintings
and funky modern pieces hang side by side. The numbers on room doors are even written in a playful font. The Jeanne d'Arc really lets loose in the lobby with a mammoth, out-of-this-world, neo-gothic mirror.
However, don't be fooled by the edgy accents—fanciful art pairings are about as wild as the place gets. So take this as a warning: all of you looking for a party scene in the Marais, move to the next review.
