Hôtel l'Antoine, Paris

The Hotel Antoine is nestled at the heart of one of the most picturesque suburbs of Paris, on the site of a former 17th century convent. Nearby, although many of the traditional cabinetmakers' workshops have given way to the trendiest fashion boutiques, the busy atmosphere in this once revolutionary and hard-working district remains. Criss-crossed with countless cobblestone passageways and hiding many inner courtyards, the Faubourg Saint-Antoine has retained the charm of its bygone era. A stone's throw from the Place de la Bastille and not far from the famous Marais district, the Hotel Antoine is the perfect 4-star base for any visitor wanting to immerse themselves in the excitement of a modern capital that delights its past.
