print this pageThe 14-room Hôtel Le Petit Châtelet is tucked away on a tree-lined block near the Centre Pompidou, the sights of Ile de la Cite, and some happening restaurants and nightlife. Guests must first navigate past the crowded outdoor tables of the hotel's popular bar and café to reach the reception.
Rooms are on the small side, but interesting artwork and a warm décor scheme compensate. One room, for example, has a beach theme with postcards tacked on the walls. Bathrooms—all en suite—are what you would expect from a hotel with these rates: small yet functional. The Châtelet offers apartments with kitchens on the fifth and sixth floors (ask ahead).
Those who need their beauty rest should beware: Despite the double-paned windows, there’s a bar downstairs and the rue St. Denis can be quite noisy—and you'll want to keep your window open if you're visiting during the summer.
Note: The stairs are steep and winding and there's no elevator.

Smack in the center of town, Châtelet’s Right Bank locale is in walking distance of the Centre Pompidou, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Marais, and the docks of the Seine. Known mostly for the mammoth Métro-RER station Châtelet-Les Halles, the Forum des Halles shopping mall, and sex shops, Châtelet has a grittier feel than its haughty neighbors the Marais and Latin Quarter. Often overlooked by tourists, Châtelet boasts world-class jazz clubs, bustling shopping and Cheapo-friendly hotels. A highlight of this area is the stunning Eglise Saint-Eustache and adjacent gardens.
Shopping remains Châtelet’s biggest attraction, however. Parisians crowd the American-style Forum des Halles shopping mall and also flock to the designer boutiques found in and around the quarter. At night Châtelet does become a bit seedy in some patches, especially in the north, and this despite heavy police presence. That said, Châtelet offers tourists authentic Parisian shopping and music, both of which can get lost in the tourist kitsch of the Latin Quarter.
