Favart

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Hôtel Favart is a three-star hotel with an impressive location directly across the street from the Opéra Comique. Rates are reasonable, but not cheapo, making this hotel one to at least consider.

The Favart’s 37 rooms are spacious and boast large windows. Some rooms have wood-beamed ceilings, and most are outfitted with antique-style wooden furniture. All rooms are equipped with a telephone, satellite TV, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi connection. Bathrooms have hair dryers and either a shower or a tub, and some sport lively blue tiling and wall-to-wall mirrors, creating a rather trippy effect.

The lobby and common areas are busy with “classical” touches. Frescoes of Paris hang behind the front desk and along the staircase. Statues are scattered about. Carpet is plush. Artwork hangs on the walls. A piano sits by the door, armed with a serious-looking piece.

20 rooms look out onto the tranquil place Boieldieu and offer views onto the Opéra Comique (ask when reserving). The hotel has an impressive legacy, including a period in 1824 when the Spanish painter Francisco Goya lived in the building.
