Beaubourg

The three-star Hôtel Beaubourg is in plain view of the bustling area surrounding the Centre Pompidou, but you’d never know from inside. Nestled on traffic-free rue Simon le Franc, the splurge-worthy haven’s 28 rooms are handsomely appointed, immaculate and pin-droppingly quiet.

Quick read

Pros: Well-equipped rooms with flowery décor. Very convenient Beaubourg/Marais location. Some wood-beamed ceilings.

Cons: Rooms can be expensive.

Rooms

Guestrooms, zealously outfitted with exposed wooden beams and opulent wallpaper (stripes, floral and toile, too) in splashy, saturated hues of pink, yellow, orange and blue, have an oversized dollhouse feel. Pattern-on-pattern, the décor is deliciously frou-frou. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen television, minibar and phone.

Offering an exquisite selection of toiletries, the bathrooms dazzle with spotlights, white-and-blue tiling, sizable marble sinks and ornate gold mirrors. Bathtubs are available (request ahead).

The quietest rooms overlook a flower-filled inner courtyard, while others look out onto the street, with double-paned glass to keep the noise down. The deluxe suite, located on the ground floor, has its own private patio terrace and spacious seating area.

Hotel facilities

Hotel management and staff are extremely attentive and approachable. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, along with an Internet station, both free to use.

Breakfast is served in the beautifully restored stone cellar for €9.50.

Location

The Hotel Beaubourg sits on the tiny rue Simon le Franc, less than a half-block from the back of the Pompidou Center. This location puts you close to the Les Halles RER stop (direct to Charles de Gaulle airport), and close to innumerable other Right Bank attractions. The restaurants, shops and bars of the Marais are minutes from the hotel.
