The charm of the Marais speaks for itself. This quarter is every bit as worth a visit as the Left Bank.
In an old building designed by François Mansart, the Hôtel du Vieux Marais has 30 renovated rooms on a quiet street steps away from the Place des Vosges, the Picasso, Carnavalet and Victor Hugo museums, the Pompidou Centre and Notre Dame.
We care about design, but comfort and quality matter even more to us.
A friendly, efficient staff will be happy to give you any advice and information you might need.
The hotel has 30 renovated rooms in a sober, contemporary setting, light-toned oak furniture, soft colours heightened by Bordeaux leather chairs designed by Poltrona Frau, splendid bathrooms in aged marble and air-conditioning.

Once you have settled down in your comfortable hotel room and are getting ready to take your first stroll, take some time to dress appropriately.
First, put on a really good pair of walking shoes to feel comfortable in the Parisian streets. Walking in Paris means stopping often to look at amazing details and buildings. This constant stop-and-go will wear you down if you aren't comfy in your shoes.
Visiting the Eiffel Tower means waiting often over 30 minutes to gain access to the ticket booth, then waiting some more for the elevator on the way up, and waiting some more for the elevator on the way down. So to your feet, a pair of good shoes will make a big difference!
Parisian weather is fickle in springtime and during fall: what starts out as a great clear day can turn rainy and chilly in the afternoon. Pack a sweater and a rain breaker if you are visiting during these seasons. Summer is usually fine (70-85°F), August is generally hotter (80-95°F). Winter is rainy and cold, almost as cold as in NYC.
In any case, take your umbrella along, it may become your best friend -- especially if you intend to take pictures of everything. Rain and camera lenses don't like each other.
Walking in Paris
Paris offers a number of interesting itineraries for strollers. You can follow the waterways (river Seine, St Martin Canal, river Bièvre) or the 17-km long railway transformed into a most surprising walkway hung some 50 feet above the hustle-bustle of the city. You can also spend some quality time in any of the large public parks which the city counts (Luxembourg, Buttes-Chaumont, Montsouris, Georges Brassens), discover the gardens of the 14th district, or else decide to learn live history and architecture in areas like St-Sulpice and St Germain-des-Prés.
A lively and interesting city
This is but a glimpse of the many places you will want to visit during your stay in Paris. Guests of the hotel are offered a Complimentary Pass to the Members Only section of the Paris Eiffel Tower News website, which features a lot more information on Paris.

The hotel personnel wishes to be of service to you during your stay in Paris.
