Located along a quiet side street near the “Les Gobelins” Metro stop, the boutique Hotel Henriette offers stylish three-star rooms with rates that start around €160 but quickly go up from there.

Rooms at Hotel Henriette are trendy and chic, with bold colors, patterned wallpaper, and stylish furniture that adds a mid-mod touch. All rooms offer a small flat-screen TV, telephone and free Wi-Fi.

Half of the 32 rooms look out onto the small rue des Gobelins, while the others overlook the quiet back garden which has some nice vintage tables and chairs for relaxing in the warmer weather. (Light sleepers may want to request a back-facing room, even though the street is not terribly busy.)

All rooms have a private bathroom, which offers either a shower or bathtub. Showers have waterfall shower heads and nice toiletries for a spa-like experience.

The breakfast room is lovely with an airy and modern feel, but the price for the meal starts at a steep €16. 

Hotel Henriette is located on the small rue des Gobelins, just south of the “Les Gobelins” Metro stop and a five-minute walk to the Place d’Italie (a major traffic and transportation hub).

Note: The entire hotel is non-smoking.

Location: Central

2.8km to city center

Main attractions: The area’s main crossroads is Place d'Italie, surrounded by brutalist tower blocks that can make you forget you are in Paris.

Neighborhood atmosphere: Despite the uncharming high rises, the neighborhood does have one charming secret: the saving grace that is the Butte-aux-Cailles, a hilltop pocket that has both a French village vibe and an artsy hipster aesthetic in its many cafés and bars along the rue de la Butte aux Cailles and rue des Cinq Diamants.

Affordability: Home to Europe’s largest Chinatown (which nevertheless pales in comparison to the Chinatowns of London, San Francisco or New York), the 13th offers lots of inexpensive dining options for those who wallets (and palates) are tired of classic French bistro food (the Tang Frères supermarket is a giant Asian food emporium that’s worth a stop).

Stay Here If: You aren’t picky about location or want to experience the untouristy, off-the-beaten path residential feel of the Butte aux Cailles with its cobblestone streets and untouristy vibe.

Stay Elsewhere If: You are more comfortable being in a more central, well trodden neighborhood, or your idea of Paris does not include ugly highrise buildings.
