The Hotel Therese is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel with charming, design-conscious decor that combines contemporary, vintage, and upcycled accents. There's a stylish lobby and library lounge and a stone-walled breakfast room, but few other extra property features. Its 40 individually rooms vary in size from tiny entry-level rooms to more spacious upgraded rooms, but all have nice amenities like flat-screen TVs with bluetooth, generously stocked minibars, free Wi-Fi, and bathrobes. Hotel Therese offers breakfast for an extra fee, a free afternoon snack, and room service into the evening. A major draw here, though, is the location in the heart of Paris, just a 10-minute walk from the Louvre. Travelers may want to compare rates with the nearby Hotel Lumen Paris Louvre, which adds a restaurant and bar.
Scene
Design-conscious boutique hotel with contemporary style and vintage accents
The Hotel Theresa is an owner-run, design-conscious boutique hotel that combines contemporary styling with vintage and upcycled accents. This classic six-story building has a flat beige facade with Juliet balconies and top dormer windows. Inside, the lobby and library lounges are standout spots with textured walls, dark wood floors, and unique furniture, like molded globe chairs with velvety blue upholstery. Even hallways are maintained to match the boutique's style, with mosaic carpeting, swirling banisters, and pendant lights. This regal vibe is echoed in the hotel's free afternoon tea, yet another cozy detail that gives guests reason to linger. Clientele here are mainly couples (more than a few on their honeymoon), drawn by the Therese's excellent atmosphere and location.
Location
Stellar location in the heart of Paris, 10-minute walk to Louvre
Located on a fairly quiet and narrow street in the 1st Arrondissement -- the heart of Paris -- the Hotel Therese offers an excellent home base from which to explore the city. Guests can walk to major attractions like the Louvre, Tuileries Garden, and Palais Garnier Opera house. Plenty of restaurants and shops are also in the neighborhood. For attractions farther out, the Pyramides metro station is just a three-minute walk (lines 7 and 14) and the Palais Royal-Musee du Louvre metro station is just a five-minute walk (lines 1 and 7). Staff can arrange airport transfers for an extra fee.- Eight-minute walk to Place Vendome
Rooms
Stylish, individually decorated rooms -- though some are tiny -- with bluetooth TVs and minibars
Rooms are individually decorated with neutral tones and decor in tasteful, transitional style that merges classic and contemporary pieces. Wall-to-wall carpeting, textured wallpaper, upholstered chairs, and fabric headboards are common. Guests might find desks with tapered, mid-century modern legs, or vintage bedside tables. Upcycled accents are also a staple, like desk chairs with seats woven from recycled tires. Bathrooms tend to be decked out in gray tiling and may have shower stalls or combination showers and tubs. The hotel's 40 rooms come in a range of sizes, but they all tend to be small. While petite is typical in Paris, entry-level rooms are downright tiny with only 130 square feet of space for two guests. Amenities across rooms include individually controlled air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs with bluetooth connectivity and international channels, electronic safes, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms also include generously stocked minibars, but coffeemakers only come in higher-category rooms. Bathrooms have robes, hairdryers, and nice individual toiletries.
Features
Free afternoon tea, room service, and continental breakfast -- but otherwise limited extras
Like many hotels in central Paris, this one is short on extra property features. Common areas include a stylish lobby lounge and a small but charming library lounge. There's also a nice breakfast room with exposed stone ceilings and pendant lighting. Express, continental, and in-room breakfast options are available, albeit for extra fees. Afternoon tea and light snacks are available in the lobby for free every afternoon. There's no full-service restaurant or bar on-site, but room service is available into the evening. The front desk is open 24-hours and staff provide concierge services like ticket assistance, laundry service, or airport transfers. Babysitting can also be arranged. Wi-Fi throughout the property is free.
