Details

The Hotel de Varenne is a little gem hidden in a very enviable location near all major Parisian sights. The 7th district is full of history and lives at its own pace, offering an array of quaint little restaurants, traditional bistros and wonderful buildings, amongst which the magnificent Hotel des Invalides, a former home for war veterans turned into a burial site for some of France's most notorious military figures, notably Napoleon Bonaparte.

The Hotel de Varenne speaks for itself. Set back from the Rue de Bourgogne, the building can be found beyond a gated archway opening onto a wonderful garden. This recently renovated private townhouse has kept an informal and comfortable feel alongside the splendors of its past, offering all modern conveniences expected from a 21st century three-star establishment. The lobby is extremely inviting and refreshingly understated. The reception team speaks English as well as German and Spanish, and genuinely desires to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. A luggage room and a laundry service are available upon request.

The lounge is quintessentially French with a finish second to none. Elegant without being ostentatious, it is a relaxing room with comfortable seats that will be ideal for a catch-up with friends and family or simply to read a book while enjoying a drink from the bar. A continental breakfast can be served in your room or in the lovely Louis XVI style room from 7 am up to 12 pm as well as in the stunning garden laced with ivy and fragrant flowers. Regular residents rave about this outdoor space and many consider it “a quiet little haven right in the heart of Paris”.

With only 25 recently renovated soundproofed rooms, the Hotel de Varenne endeavours to provide the best possible care for its guests, welcoming pets and offering modern conveniences such as air conditioning, satellite television, minibar and safety deposit box, as well as Wi-Fi. The Empire decor is delightful without being overpowering and the coziness of each room with its view over the quiet street or the beautiful garden will make you feel at home right away.

With the Rodin Museum around the corner, the Hotel des Invalides two minutes away, and the River Seine a short walk north, you will feel like extending your stay to get a chance to see it all. The Louvre Museum and renowned Tuileries Garden are easily accessible by metro or crossing the River. The Champs de Mars with the iconic Eiffel Tower is located a stone’s throw away towards the West. A short walk east will lead you directly to the bohemian St-Germain des Prés quarter as well as the Cathedral Notre-Dame.

The charming and affordable Hotel de Varenne offers a standard superior to its three star rating. It truly is a home away from home, thanks to its beautiful decor, informal atmosphere and helpful staff, and will allow you to visit Paris hassle-free.
