A gem tucked into the bottom of the Marais, just one block from the Seine, the charming Hôtel Saint-Louis Marais offers 19 rooms at fair prices. The cozy stone-walled lobby sets the "country-cottage" theme evident throughout, from the rooms on the top floor down to the dining area in the "cave".
Up the staircase you'll find rooms that are charming in an "Old Marais" way, with wood-beamed ceilings, exposed stone, colorfully painted walls, mismatching fabrics, and old furniture. Plus, there's still space to move around. Bathrooms have checkered tile patterns and are clean enough to eat of off, although we admit we wouldn't try.
Downstairs, in the converted wine cellar, the breakfast dining area is very dungeon-like. The stonework and curved ceiling made us feel like we were tucked away in the French countryside.
