Hôtel Caron de Beaumarchais

My boyfriend and I went on vacation for our 5 year anniversary and stayed in 4 different accommodations in the cities we visited. This, by far, was our favorite. This actually might be the cutest hotel I’ve ever stayed in in my life. And I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels. It’s a small boutique type hotel with the best customer service you’ll ever find.
So the airline lost my boyfriends bag, and the lady who works here was in communication with the airline to make sure we got our bags as soon as possible. She was calling them several times a day! What great service!
The room itself was very cute and had a small little balcony as well. It was cozy, and decorated in a way where you actually felt like you were in France — exactly what I wanted. We also tried their breakfast one morning, and wow. It was awesome! It came complete with butter croissants, chocolate croissants, baguette, jams, yogurt, boiled egg, and other things I can’t even remember now. My boyfriend, who has lived in France, said it was a very traditional french breakfast.
Everything about this place was perfect. We will definitely be staying here next time we visit!

Adorable boutique townhouse hotel in a perfect Marais location. It’s not a flagship luxury hotel but more of a hybrid between a hotel and an upscale B & B: but what they do, they do right. The décor is antique Ancient Régime charm, the staff are competent and courteous, and the location wonderful. You won’t be swimming in extra room, but the place is done up so attractively that you can enjoy the wallpaper and relax. I would’ve wished our bed a little larger, but we did opt for one of the smaller rooms in the older front section, so there. Definitely a romantic spot in a romantic town.

We recently spent a few nights and days of our month long honeymoon in Paris at Hotel Caron. It was a fantastic experience!
We first checked in and our room wasn’t ready… the front desk was happy to hold our bags, provide wifi and give us some suggestions on sightseeing and such. The staff was very nice and accommodating from check in to check out. (They even sent up some complimentary champagne for our honeymoon.) So sweet!
The neighborhood, Le Marais, is the best hood to stay in Paris (IMO). It’s close and central to any sightseeing… but you walk out your door and feel like you’re in a Paris hood and not some tourist trap hell. (There is a lot of tourist stuff obviously in Paris so I would just suggest not staying too close to any big attractions… ie Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, etc). I just can’t stand feeling like I’m in the middle of tourist central but I suppose some people like that.
The room at Caron is quaint and comfortable. It’s a very modest size room but we never felt cramped. The windows opened right to the street but it’s not a main drag so car traffic is minimal. But there are plenty of people walking around nearby to make it feel like «Paris is right outside». It’s really cool. We ate gelato and sat by the window at night and had a front, balcony view of some Paris nightlife.
The bed is semi-​comfortable. The shower/​bathroom is average. Nothing negative here. Just nothing special either.
The breakfast area downstairs felt a little dark as its downstairs below ground level. Nice and quaint but we never hung out down there and just got croissants in the am at a nearby café.
If you’re looking for a nice stay in Paris, I would highly recommend. If you’re looking for a super updated, ritzy type of hotel, this isn’t for you. But I’ll say… I’m a very particular person when it comes to where I stay, and I would absolutely stay at Caron next time we visit Paris.

I had stayed at this hotel on my honeymoon and 19 years later back for a vacation. It is as great as I remember. A perfect home base to enjoy the city. Rooms with the terrace are especially lovely. Staff is warm and friendly. Not a lot of frills except for the fabulous breakfast delivered to your room. Perfect perfect perfect location!

This hotel is quaint, charming and lovely.
I was already staying in Paris at a different hotel, and decided to stay an extra night. My mom messaged me and told me that her patient said I HAVE to stay at Caron de Beaumarchais. Unfortunately, through the chain of communication, I ended up thinking the hotel was a lot of less expensive then it in fact was. I called up the hotel to see if they had a room free for that night for around 120 euros. The nice man on the phone (the manager) told me that they didn’t offer any rooms for 120… that their least expensive was something like 170 € per night. Sensing my disappointment, he offered to give me one of their nicest rooms (usually 190 €) for 135.
Well worth the money! We had an exceptional breakfast in bed and an amazing view. The rooms and the hotel itself transport you to the 18^th century, and the location cannot be beat.
Highly recommended!

Charming small hotel in a wonderful location in Paris. We stayed three nights and loved the hotel. Rooms are small — but its Europe, so to be expected. The owner is fantastic and gives great recommendations. We were told to take a metro or taxi, but were able to walk to the Louve and Eiffle Tower with ease. Breakfasts are not included, but fantastic and provide a TON of food. Great shopping around the hotel as well. I picked this hotel as I saw a blurb in Conde Nast claiming it was one of the best hotels for traditional charm with modern comfort — couldn’t agree more!

What a gem and a great value!
My wife and I just had a fabulous stay at Hotel Caron du Beaumarchais. Here are a few ways I would describe this hotel and our experience there:
The character of a great B&B. The moment after, we walked into the lobby, put down your bags and met the staff, we had the sense that we chose the right place. The small but highly functional lobby was adorned with all sorts of relics waiting to tell their stories. It felt a bit like we were guests in the comfortable, elegant but not lavish country home of a cultural historian with a sense of humor. Except that this country home was plopped down in the middle of one of the most walkable neighborhoods in all of Paris. If you are looking for the opposite of the cookie cutter mega chain hotel, this is it. There are just dozens of nice little surprises. Our room had the feel of a cozy hideaway amid the hustle and bustle of the busy Parisian sidewalks below. The fireplace in the lobby also adds to the sense of coziness.
Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful staff. Some hotels train their staff to be knowledgeable and helpful. Lord knows I’ve relied heavily on them over the years. But some hotels manage to hire people who delight in making your experience easier, more interesting and more enjoyable. They seem to frequently go well beyond the call of duty. Hotel Caron du Beaumarchais is such a hotel. My only issue was that I sometimes felt bad for taking so much of their time with very basic questions about the neighborhood, transportation options, etc. because they would give so much of their time.
Phenomenal location. It would be difficult to imagine a better location. Within walking distance is a cornucopia of cafes, shops, bars, restaurants, markets, amazing sites, etc. All the major sites we wanted to see and all the neighborhoods inside the city limits were within easy reach.
Tasty and abundant breakfast. My wife tried the hotel breakfast while I slept in. She said that everything was fresh and delicious. And abundant! Perhaps even a bit excessive. For 13 Euros, she said that they brought her a croissant, chocolate croissant, a baguette, soft boiled egg, yogurt, a kiwi, two kinds of jam, plus tea, coffee or hot chocolate.

You may think you are walking into an antiquaire when you step inside, but no, this is the lobby.
There’s various bric-​à-​brac and objets d’art scattered about, including an eighteenth-​century card table and harpsichord that could have come from the rooms of Madame Pompadour, along with portraits, mirrors (mirrors everywhere) and statuary that harken back to the ancien régime. The walls are covered in rich textiles, like something you would see at Versailles.
Our room was on the fourth floor with large windows that opened wide and overlooked the street below and a wood-​beamed ceiling dominated by a crystal chandelier. It’s a small hotel, but elegant, and in a fashionable part of town. The Marais is the old aristocratic quarter of Paris, built on a marsh that is long gone, featuring high-​walled mansions of the nobles (ie. the Rohans) and others that have factored into pre-​Revolutionary French history. There are many restuarants and cafes nearby, tucked down side streets, and a great area to get lost in and explore.
This is a small hotel in the heart of the city, but the hotel owner kept the old charm of the eighteenth-​century alive — I understand the whole place had been gutted to modernize it, leaving only the façade, but the ceiling beams and wrought-​iron were saved. We booked a few months in advance and got a reminder email one month before our stay. The price wasn’t bad either, considering the area, and the fact that it’s Paris.

I recently stayed here for 9 days with my girlfriend and had a wonderful experience. The staff was very charming and helpful and the hotel is so frikken cute. The 18^th century furniture and musical instruments were comforting and fitting for the beautiful area. Their breakfasts are insanely good and service was always with a smile. The only thing that I wish was that they had an ironing board and iron in the room not one that you have to borrow from the downstairs. I wasn’t totally thrilled with being billed for 10 nights when we only stayed for 9, however. We thought we would arrive earlier, but the reservation was already made. I reckon it wasn’t their fault, but it would have been nice to have them waive the day we were not present being that we did stay for over a week.

Our go-​to hotel in Paris, where for us, location is everything. This small, unpretentious hotel sits right in the middle of the Marais between St. Paul and the Hotel de Ville. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and while the rooms are tiny and old-​fashioned in just about every respect, we don’t mind. Everything is immaculate and warm in winter. More to the point, step out the door, and you are at the center of the world.

Cet hôtel reconstitue l’intérieur d’une maison bourgeoise du 18ème siècle. Cheminée Louis XVI et feu de bois au salon, mobilier et documents anciens recréent l’atmosphère d’une époque de charme.
Cet hôtel a été rénové entièrement pour rendre hommage au célèbre auteur du Mariage de Figaro qui habitait cette rue.
Le hic: la rue est très animée le week-​end et cela peut empêcher de dormir même si les chambres sont dotées de double-​vitrage.
J’aime bien cet hôtel mais le quartier propose mieux !

Digne d’un musée…
Le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que la déco est l’atout premier et majeur de cet établissement. D’ailleurs, si vous n’avez pas l’occasion d’en fréquenter les chambres, né vous privez pas d’en admirer la devanture: une vitrine de musée (ou d’antiquaire…) à elle-​seule (mobilier, tapisseries, bibelots, vieux piano…). Le hall d’entrée, les chambres, l’atmosphère: tout est fait dans cet hôtel bourgeois pour que vous fassiez un élégant saut dans le passé… Comptez entre 120 et 150 euros la nuit.
