hub at Gard du Nord within walking distance. Continental breakfast is available

Scene
Quiet and intimate contemporary boutique hotel that hosts business and leisure travelers
This modern boutique hotel opened in 2014 and still looks
fresh and new. Like the hotel itself, the entrance is quiet and intimate, with
a small wooden reception desk across from four colorful, contemporary chairs
that rest below a cream-colored stone wall.
Wallpaper on the remainder of the walls is a distinctive leaf pattern in gray
and beige, and floors are beige tile. Clusters of small, oval ceiling lights
emit a warm glow in the relatively dark space. Red and black are the featured
colors in the long, narrow breakfast area that has a row of mirrors mounted on
a crimson wall. Tall potted plants provide a rich green accent to the bistro-style round black tables and chairs. Business travelers frequent this stylish hotel during
the week, while tourists (especially couples) are more commonly seen on
weekends.
Location
In the 9th Arrondissement, near metro stations, Montmartre, and Gare du Nord
The hotel is
located in a quiet residential neighborhood in the 9th Arrondissement. There are several cafes and shops nearby, and the Poissonniere metro station is just a two-minute walk away. The Cadet metro station is a five-minute walk from the hotel, while Gare Du
Nord (Eurostar train station) is nine minutes on foot. Sacre Coeur and the
famed Montmartre neighborhood are within walking distance.- Two-minute walk to Poissonniere metro station
Rooms
Modern, individually decorated rooms with Nespresso coffeemakers and minibars
Hotel Helussi's modern rooms are individually decorated,
but share some common design elements. Decor tends to be dark, with painted
black headboards, nightstands, and small desks. Bedding is white, with dark,
solid throws that match one of the painted walls and usually the drapes.
The designer-quality, patterned carpet typically is black or another dark color
that is accented by bright hues like pink, deep red, or white. Walls are
typically various rich colors of red or gray and contrasted by cream or beige.
An upholstered chair and bright, contemporary art above the beds match the
motif. The rooms are clean, quiet, and functional and come in three sizes, with
the largest (204 square feet) about average by Paris standards, but the
smallest (150 square feet) is a bit cramped. All rooms include double beds and tiny
closets. The handsome bathrooms are adequately sized, but not large, with attractive dark gray tile with black accents and glass-enclosed, walk-in showers. Wall-mounted,
white ceramic sinks and stainless steel fixtures including soap and shower gel
dispensers as well as heated towel racks help give the bathrooms a sleek and stylish
look. Standard amenities include 32-inch flat-screen TVs,
Nespresso coffeemakers, electronic safes, and minibars stocked with sodas,
water, and beer. Six rooms offer small balconies, but they cannot be guaranteed
at booking. Views are of the streets below.
