Les Bains Paris

Small boutique hotel off on a side street. Restaurant /​bar on the ground floor, club in the basement. The bar was busy every night. Great place to stop in before /​after going out. We had a balcony room facing the outdoor section of the bar, but still barely heard a sound.
The restaurant La Salle a’ Manger was one of the best meals we had in Paris.
The staff was unbelievable. Extremely friendly and helpful. Gave us great recommendations based on what we are into not what is popular. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.
Best hotel I’ve stayed at in Paris. Next time I go back I will be staying there again.

Sumptuous, hip and genteel, Les Bains is a gorgeous boutique hotel, discretely tucked away on a side street with almost no sign that it is there at all.
The lobby is small and understated, but every detail has been beautifully designed and perfectly rendered. The bar/​restaurant drew me in with its undulating crimson ceiling, and even when busy it is quiet (at last, a quiet bar!!) because the walls have been made from sound absorbing panels. The cocktail bar area has a nice and sociable feel, and I found the staff helpful and friendly. I could hang out alone there for hours.
My room was great too– big bed, lovely linens, and lots of well thought out space. The sofa in each room is a comfy replica of Warhol’s couch. The light switches took a little getting used to– they are little levers you push down to turn on, push down again to turn off. Everything you expect from a room, but really nicely finished.
They also have a nightclub in the basement (it has a small pool in it– a legacy of Les Bains Douche), but you can’t hear it from the hotel at all. The acoustics of the club are extraordinarily good– it never feels deafening (again I think they worked out the acoustics really well).
Access to Paris is very good– it’s near 3 metro stops, is in the heart of all sorts of life with cafes all around, and is a 20 minute walk from Gare du Nord. I loved my stay.
