Hotel Design de la Sorbonne

Compact luxury in the Latin Quarter

Word to the wise: The rooms can feel a little small for the price bracket, but you’re paying for the a location that's just steps from Saint-Germain-des-Pres.
Located next to the Sorbonne, this design hotel is in the heart of the history, jazz and buzz of Paris’ Latin Quarter. Colourful and decadent, this is a modern take on the antique aesthetic. Stark slate tiles frame the claw-foot bathtubs, and the embossed wallpaper comes in contemporary fuchsia or lime green.

The newly refurbished rooms come with iMac’s for surfing the web or watching movies, but look down, and the carpets are scrawled with excerpts from literary classics. In keeping with it’s artistic surroundings, each floor has a different exhibition displayed on its walls, but with so much to see on your doorstep it's hardly worth hanging around.
