print this pageSituated directly across from the Hôtel de Ville between a café-lined pedestrian square and the busy Rue de Rivoli, the two-star Hôtel de Nice provides the kind of fun and flamboyant décor that will delight those looking for something a bit eclectic.
The hotel's 23 rooms mix rich red and gold wallpaper, prints, hanging maps, and heavy oak furniture. Massive drapes are pulled back with gold rope sashes and tassels. Rooms are air conditioned and equipped with satellite TV and double-paned windows to minimize the sound of traffic. The tiled baths, which tend to be a bit tight, have showers or tubs, and hairdryers. Corner rooms are the most spacious, although west-facing rooms open up to the picturesque square below.
Hallways are crammed with scenes from old Paris, and you're welcome to chill out in the delightfully gaudy sitting room on the first floor, which doubles as the breakfast room.
We spent three enjoyable nights (undercover) at the Hotel de Nice in early 2009. We took advantage of a special rate offered through the hotel's website—check before booking.

Stretching from Châtelet to the Place de la Bastille, and from République to the Seine, the Marais is the trendiest neighborhood on our list. Its narrow, winding streets are full of funky boutiques, hip bars, and tiny bistros. The Marais is home to the city's historic Jewish quarter and is the center of gay Parisian life. Many of its 17th-century mansions house museums and cultural centers, making this neighborhood very popular for locals and visitors alike. It’s a safe and lively area for nightlife, particularly around the Rue du Vieille du Temple.
The increasing number of contemporary art galleries and avant-garde fashion boutiques in the Marais has fueled increases in hotel rates over the past decade. Nonetheless, there are bargains to be found along the quieter side streets, where visitors will find the exposed wooden beams and bonsai-sized rooms also on offer in Latin Quarter hotels.
