Bottom Line

The upper-middle-range Hotel Villa Saxe Eiffel is situated in a residential Left Bank neighborhood that's a little off the beaten path for tourists. The only major nearby attractions are Les Invalides and Napoleon's Tomb, a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The 48 rooms are sharp, and come with comfortable beds, free Wi-Fi, MP3 docks, and flat-screen TVs, though some rooms are small. The hotel also offers a bar and an ample breakfast buffet (for a fee). It's a good choice for travelers wanting a stylish boutique hotel, but the Hotel Lumen Paris Louvre is only slightly pricier and far more central, though it lacks a fitness room and sauna.

Hotel Villa Saxe Eiffel

Scene

Ultra-modern hotel with sleek interiors

Built in 2014, the Villa Saxe Eiffel is housed in a six-floor white building with a deliberately weathered steel facade. Guests enter a sleek, contemporary lobby with tan leather sofas, gold-colored overhead lights, a geometric print rug, magazine rack, and reception desk topped with flowers. Other features of the interior include a visually striking winding staircase as well as modern art and sculpture. Guests gather in the breakfast room and lounge, an inviting space with an atrium ceiling and ultra-modern furnishings with brown and tan hues throughout -- the space also doubles as the hotel's bar. An outdoor terrace features tables and chairs, trees, flowers, and shrubbery. The hotel tends to attract tourists, who appreciate the stylish rooms, breakfast buffet, sauna, and quiet Left Bank location.

Location

Residential Left Bank location, a 10-minute walk from Napoleon's Tomb 

The hotel is on the Left Bank in a residential corner of the 7th Arrondissement, next to UNESCO's headquarters. The immediate area isn't ideal for tourists, since there are few attractions, shops, and restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel. Guests need to walk or take the metro to get to more exciting areas. The hotel is a seven-minute walk north of the Sevres Lecourbe Metro station and a seven-minute walk northeast of the Metro Segur Metro station. Les Invalides, with Napoleon's Tomb and the Army Museum, is a ten-minute walk north, while the Rodin Museum is a 15-minute walk northeast of the Villa. The Champ de Mars Park is a 10-minute walk northwest of the hotel, and the Eiffel Tower, Seine River, and Quai Branly Museum are a 20-minute walk northwest (10 minutes by taxi). Le Bon Marche department store is a 15-minute walk east. It's a five-minute drive or 20-minute walk southeast to reach the area with Montparnasse Tower, Montparnasse Cemetery, and Gare Montparnasse train station. Charles de Gaulle Airport is a 30-minute drive northeast of the Villa Saxe Eiffel, while Orly Airport is about 30 minutes in the opposite direction.

Rooms

Modern boutique rooms with MP3 docks, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs    

The 48 all non-smoking rooms at Villa Saxe Eiffel are arranged on six floors. Rooms come in Villa Classique, Villa Superior, Villa Deluxe, and Junior Suite categories. Rooms are not overly luxurious, but they have a stylish and contemporary look. Decor varies, though a gold, silver, or weathered steel motif with a neutral tan and white base runs throughout, much like the rest of the hotel. Pops of steel blue appear in the Junior Suite, and wall art throughout is sepia-tone prints of Paris iconography. Rooms feature handcrafted furniture in trendy light tones and plush beds with warm-tone velvet bedding and high-end linens. Sizes range from 161 to 409 square feet, so some rooms are small, but small hotel rooms are common for Paris where space is at a premium. All rooms are clean and in good condition; they also get decent natural light and feature double-glazed windows that keep them quiet. All rooms come with air-conditioning, safes, minibars, coffee/tea makers, free Wi-Fi, iPhone docks (with connectors for other MP3 players), and flat-screen TVs with satellite and international channels. Some rooms have balconies and/or evening turndown service, and Junior Suites come with fresh fruit and separate living areas. Bathrooms feature natural stone, are well lighted, and generally spacious, with good counter space and toiletries. Villa Classique bathrooms do not have bathtubs.
