The entrance to the Hôtel Chopin, which opened in 1846, is through the Passage Jouffroy, a 19th-century pedestrian arcade. A bust of Chopin sits on a piano by the lobby.
“Paris hotels had never heard of central heating or hot baths or clean towels and sheets or ham and eggs; their attitude toward electricity was demonic — once they had seen what they thought of as wiring one wondered why the city had not, long ago, vanished in flame,” he later wrote in Esquire magazine. The result, he added, was that, “One soon ceased expecting to be warm in one's hotel room, and read and worked in the cafes.” cheap paris hotels
More than a half-century later, many visitors to Paris might feel a certain affinity with Baldwin as they search — often fruitlessly — for comfortable, affordable hotel lodging in this increasingly expensive city.
As The New York Times' bureau chief in Paris, I am often called upon to answer a question I have come to dread: Can you find me a small, romantic, centrally located, quiet, inexpensive hotel? The task is tougher than it sounds. The watery dollar has lost more than 30 percent of its value against the euro since July 2002. That means that a hotel room that cost $150 a night back then costs almost $200 today. cheap paris hotels
But when my husband's cousin Wayne and his wife, Bernie, called to asked the “H question” recently, I decided to stop avoiding the issue and investigate.
Certainly, a rented apartment can be more efficient and even more affordable, especially if there are children in tow. But the apartment option is only for visitors who don't mind the possible hassle of a temperamental lock, an unreliable toilet, an absent concierge or a forgotten door code. And not everyone wants the option of making coffee or washing clothes on vacation.
That's where the hotel fantasy comes in — that somewhere in Paris is that fabulous find with a marble bathroom and pressed linen sheets on a tree-lined street just a few steps from a cozy café and an efficient Métro station.
Paris offers possibilities. There are nearly 1,500 hotels (and more than 75,000 hotel rooms) in the city, a large proportion of them small and privately owned. Travelers can rely, of course, on the universally used four-star rating system, which judges features such as room and lobby size. A passable (believe-it-or-not) single room at the one-star Hôtel Esmeralda with a shared shower and toilet runs 35 euros (about $47 at $1.36 to the euro) a night; the grand suite at the new four-star Fouquet's Barrière goes for 15,000 euros ($20,400).
But ratings can deceive, particularly when it comes to the charming, the offbeat and the mildew-free.
The Hôtel d'Orsay, for example, a 41-room hotel near the Musée d'Orsay in the Seventh Arrondissement, delivers a serviceable double room that's almost too tiny to turn around in for 142 euros. But you can get more for less if you head across town to the Ninth Arrondissement. At the Hôtel Langlois, just a few steps from the Trinité church, 130 euros will get you a room that is much larger and that comes with a marble fireplace, Art Deco sculptures and 19th-century furnishings and oil paintings.
So if you look hard enough, you can find hidden bargains in Paris — comfortable lodging as low as $140, but often closer to $200 a night including the hefty occupancy tax. Rates can vary wildly, depending on the season and the availability and sometimes can be negotiated.
My recommendations are personal rather than encyclopedic, a collection in various styles and neighborhoods. None of these places is fancy. Most, but not all, have air-conditioning, which is a factor only for about four summer weeks. All are reliable, welcoming and clean — some are spotless; others less so — and have at least one special something to offer. After all, a dark and tiny room suddenly can turn comfortable and cozy when you are greeted by a manager with a funny story and walk out onto a street lined with shops that seem to have been there forever.
For visitors who want the experience of what's left of the authentic, historic Paris — the Paris with few chain clothing stores and Starbucks — head to the Hôtel Langlois. Built as a bank in 1870, it opened as a hotel 26 years later and retains the feel of its history. The carved oak pillars and alcoves, the wood-paneled wrought-iron elevator, the spiral staircase, the smell of old charm as you enter give the place the feel of an elegant old home. The hotel was the setting for “The Truth About Charlie,” Jonathan Demme's 2002 remake of “Charade.”
