The Originals Paris Maison Montmartre ★★★★

The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Maison Montmartre is situated between the Montmartre hill and the Saint-Ouen flea market, boasting breath-taking views of Paris. Hiding between a slate-covered façade, it is a hotel bursting with character, comfort and charm.

When you first step foot inside the contemporary piece of architecture, you will be struck by its marvellously modern design, that seamlessly incorporates vintage styles to create a delightful atmosphere. The rooms’ décors reflect that of the neighbourhood the hotel finds itself in, with sleek furnishings, traditional elements and bright colours. You will find every amenity you could need in your room, which will be spacious and the perfect base for your Parisian escape.

Having settled into your room, you will no doubt wish to discover the rest of your hotel. Perhaps you will head straight to the terrace to bask in the sun, unwind at the sophisticated bar whilst looking out to Paris, or, if your journey gave you an appetite; look for the hotel’s remarkable restaurant. In the mornings here, you will be treated to an exquisite breakfast buffet. In the evening, the same establishment serves fantastic French cuisine, guaranteed to tantalise your taste-buds.

Beyond the doors of the hotel, however, you will discover countless cobblestone alleys, quaint little eateries and authentic vintage stores, selling all manner of treasures. It’s the ideal place to wander around aimlessly, through secret passageways, past centuries-old houses and down winding roads, you won’t be able to help yourself from falling in love with this charming former hilltop village. Every scene seems ridiculously photogenic, so you’d best bring a camera – and clear space for many, many photos. Situated just behind the Musée de Montmartre, and above Le Lapin Agile, you’ll find one of the last working vineyards in Paris. As well as enjoying some delicious wine, you may also appreciate the exceptional view this vineyard boasts.
