Photo of Hotel des Académies et des Arts

“A one of a kind fusion of style and character, near Montparnasse, featuring the interior designs of two renowned artists. A treatment room, art videos and funky, though compact, bedrooms make this a unique Parisian experience. Great value and ideal for couples.”

Hotel Review

Two artists have deftly created the hotel’s unique look: Jerôme Mesnager, whose joyous white silhouettes are painted directly onto bedroom walls and all the way up the lift shaft, and sculptor Sophie Watrigant, whose equally endearing figures climb a dainty steel ladder from the bottom to the top of the five-storey stairwell. Bedrooms have the classy feel of a top hotel; breakfast is taken in the 'petit bistrot', on a velvet sofa beside shelves of art books, or at cinema style banquettes while watching art videos. There's a spa too, and exemplary service. Highly recommended.
