If you're going to be bold enough to call yourself the "Hotel Paris France," then you'd better live up to your name. We're happy to report that the two-star Hotel Paris France is quite polished, not to mention moderately priced. (However, we don't think that any hotel, private business, or blonde heiress could ever live up to the elegance and history that the name Paris evokes).
Located near Place de la Republique and next door to the Relais du Marais, the Hotel Paris France puts you within walking distance of most of Right Bank Paris. The hotel's colorful lobby and lounge charms with belle époque touches, though these are lacking in the Paris France's 46 rooms, which are contemporary in furnishing and décor.
The rooms are quite refined, if simple. Dark blue wallpaper and quilt-like bedding pair nicely with room's polished wood headboards and night stands. Bathrooms are large, white, and clean. Rooms on the 7th and 8th floors have great views of the Eiffel Tower and—what else, but the beautiful rooftops of Paris, France!

About the Hotel Paris France neighborhood
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.
