Boutet Bastille Hotel Paris occupies the former Maison Boutet, a building with a layered past as both a wood supplier and a chocolaterie. That industrial and artisanal history gives the hotel more character than a standard Parisian address, with a warm contemporary design set behind a distinctive facade in the 11th arrondissement. Rooms and suites include a small number with terraces, while the spa, pool, sauna and hammam add a rare sense of retreat for this part of the city. Bastille, Le Marais and Gare de Lyon are all within easy reach.
