Set up more like a bed-and-breakfast than a hotel, the
budget Hotel du Haut Marais has just eight guest rooms, including one apartment with a kitchenette. Nestled into the
Marais district of central Paris -- with plenty of shops, restaurants, and museums
within easy walking distance -- this hotel is a great value, with breakfast
included in the room price. Small guest rooms are cozy and clean, with exposed beams and flea market finds, along with flat-screen TVs. The property is best suited for couples or families who don’t
mind stairs, and who appreciate a family-run, home-like lodging situation.

Scene
Comfortable and full of artistic knick-knacks
The place is essentially home to the owners, and the
lobby their living room. Though a bit cluttered with stacks of books, brown leather and cushioned chairs, a wood piano topped with candlesticks, and wall art ranging from framed flower prints to a violin, the lobby is comfortable and homey -- and a great place to meet other visitors and
socialize. The breakfast room is set up in a social manner as well, with a
large dining table where coffee is served individually, and guests help
themselves to boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, and croissants. The rooms are upstairs
from the lobby, and the breakfast room downstairs. There is a lift between
upstairs guest rooms, but not between the living and dining areas; guests should be aware that the
staircase is steep and narrow.
Location
Surrounded by art and fashion in the chic Marais
In the
quiet, fashionable, and culturally rich Marais district of Old Paris, Hotel du
Haut sits on a peaceful pedestrian street across from an elementary school and
steps away from a variety of art galleries, shops, and restaurants. Place de
Vosges, Ile Saint-Louis, and Beauboug are within 15- to 25-minutes' walk. The hotel is within a 10-minute walk of the Picasso Museum and Centre Georges
Pompidou. Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre Museum are about a 20- to 25-minute walk away. Guests can reach the Arts et Metiers Metro stop (3 and 11 lines) in a few minutes on foot. By Metro,
the Eiffel Tower is about 40 minutes away. Charles de Gaulle Airport can be
reached in 30 to 40 minutes by car.
Rooms
Each has its own personality; all with exposed beams and flea market finds
Rooms are small and somewhat dark, but cozy and thoughtfully decorated. Like the lounge area, guest rooms have exposed wooden ceiling beams, dark earth tones mixed with eclectic patterns, wood furniture found in flea markets, and individualized wall art. There
are five guest rooms and two suites -- both designed in more contemporary fashion, with
flashy red walls, animal print rugs, and metal accessories and appliances. There is also an apartment with
full kitchen, bedroom, and sofa bed. Bathrooms are small, and have colorfully patterned or mosaic tiling; some are equipped with shower/tub combos, and some with spacious stall showers. Each room has a safe and flat-screen TV, but only the apartment has a
fridge and kettle.
Features
Free breakfast and Wi-Fi
Functioning like a bed-and-breakfast, the Hotel du Haut includes an ample breakfast spread in its room price, with boiled eggs,
meats, cheeses, yogurt, bread, croissants, and coffee. There is free Wi-Fi access
in guest rooms and public areas. The owners can recommend nearby restaurants, and help with
airport transfers and other reservations.
