print this pageThe Hotel du 7e Art, aka "the Seventh Art Hotel," is a show-stopper on the picture-perfect rue St. Paul in the heart of the Marais, providing 23 guest rooms which celebrate the "seventh art" of filmmaking.
The hotel's proprietors are movie buffs who have turned their hotel into a stroll through movie history. Indeed, Rita Hayworth looks down onto your bed, Rudolf Valentino hangs out by the shower, and the whole cast of "The Wizard of Oz" hides behind the bedroom door. Downstairs in the basement "gym" (two multi-functional workout machines) you can work out next to Bette Davis in "Jezebel" or sip a coffee in the hotel's bar next to W.C. Fields. Get the, um, picture?
Memorabilia aside, the room décor is rather woody, with dark headboards and cabinets, and brown curtains and comforters. All rooms are equipped with cable TV (some flat-screen), safe, and individually-controlled air conditioning. Checkered-tile bathrooms offer either shower or bathtub. A few budget single rooms have a shower but no toilet (shared facilities are in the hall). Two rooms on the top floors are pricier, but are also more spacious and offer gorgeous views of the picturesque old quarter.
Note: The hotel does not have an elevator. Breakfast is €8.

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.
