Bottom Line

This upper-middle-range property delivers modern style in a traditional Parisian building. There are 17 apartments and studios, each with a chic bedroom and bathroom, and a small but smart kitchenette equipped with all the cooking equipment guests might need. It doesn’t have a restaurant or fitness center, but for travelers who like to do their own thing, Residence Nell is a stylish place to do it -- and in a central location. It’s particularly popular with families as the apartments are a practical choice for those on vacation with kids.

Nell Hotel & Suites

Scene

Modern, French elegance 

This traditional Parisian apartment block has ornate archways above some of the windows and decorative wrought iron balconies. The entrance itself to Residence Nell is inconspicuous -- simply a plain door set back from the street with the hotel name subtly etched on the glass. Once inside, the lobby gives a taste of the simple, elegant and modern rooms above. An enormous, classical French oil painting covers one wall, while the others are paneled and painted in a chic French gray. A small reception desk of the same color sits in the corner. From there, guests can access their apartment via the elevator or a charming spiral staircase.

Location

Perfectly placed for seeing the sights

Set on the corner of a bustling street, above a classic French brasserie in the 9th arrondissement, Residence Nell is surrounded by places to eat, drink, and shop. It is a safe neighborhood but can be a little noisy at night due to the numerous restaurants and bars. It’s also perfectly placed for getting around the center of Paris. Some of Paris’ top attractions are within walking distance -– the Opera-Galeries Lafayette is 10 minutes on foot. In 20 minutes you can walk to Montmartre-Sacré Coeur, the Pompidou Center, and the Louvre, but it’s also easy to get to these places and the Eiffel Tower by Metro. Within a five-minute walk from the property, there are four different Metro stations -- Cadet, Le Peletier, Richelieu-Drouot, and Grands Boulevards. These easily connect passengers to the rest of the city. For those driving in, there is also a public car park about a five-minute walk from the hotel.

Rooms

Stylish, with lots of amenities

The bedroom sizes vary, but most have a decent amount of floorspace. The Studio is notably generous for that class of apartment. Each one is decorated identically -- plain white bed linen, French gray walls, and wooden parquet flooring. There are reading lights set into the headboards, plain, white floor lamps, and contemporary, cubic bedside tables. It’s all simple, chic, and modern. In-room facilities include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, iPod docking station, climate control, laptop-compatible safe, espresso maker, bathrobes, hairdryer, iron, and ironing board. It’s well set up for families as connecting rooms are available, and cribs or infant beds can also be provided for an additional fee. There are plenty of large windows giving lots of natural light and different views of the streets below. Some noise from the street can drift up at night though, so rooms on higher floors are quieter. Each apartment is immaculately kept and the beds -- including the sofa beds -- are comfortable. Bathrooms are entirely covered in modern, mosaic tiles -- mainly in a natural stone color, but with splashes of blue thrown in. There are luxurious touches like huge rainfall showerheads, underfloor heating, and designer toiletries. All levels of apartment have a kitchenette and small dining table and chairs, and all but the Studio has a separate sitting area too. The kitchenettes are well-equipped and contemporary. They have sleek, high gloss units, a built in microwave, and spotlights under the wall cabinets. Also provided is a burner, fridge/freezer, and all the cutlery, crockery, pans, and utensils guests might need.
