Hôtel A la Villa des Artistes, Paris

4.7 (11 reviews) · Standard
Art-inspired boutique hotel with spacious rooms, terrace views, and a nod to the neighborhood's historical artists

Overview

Steeped in history and artistic charm, Hôtel A La Villa des Artistes is a captivating ode to the rich artistic past of the Montparnasse neighborhood. This boutique Parisian gem is located in the elegant 6th arrondissement, home to an array of fine-dining restaurants, trendy art galleries, and chic boutiques. From the hotel, you can easily stroll to Tour Montparnasse, Luxembourg Gardens, and Le Bon Marche. The neighborhood also offers an array of exceptional eateries like La Closerie des Lilas and Le Dome Montparnasse, in addition to charming bookstores like Tschann Librarie and Tschann Jeunesse.

Reflecting the great art movements of Surrealism, Fauvism, and Cubism, the hotel's rooms and suites are individually decorated, each offering an artistic ambience. Expect spacious and comfortable rooms equipped with large beds. Past kimkim travelers have praised the generous room sizes—somewhat of a rarity in Paris—and the quiet surroundings despite the hotel's central location. The hotel's duplex suites were once artists' studios and now offer two-level accommodations with scenic views of Parisian rooftops.

At A La Villa des Artistes, you'll enjoy a range of amenities, including a delicious breakfast buffet in the serene courtyard, and, on sunny days, you can enjoy your morning coffee on the leafy garden terrace. In the evenings, unwind at the lounge bar with a glass of carefully curated French wine. With its artistic past and present, this hotel offers a unique Parisian experience, making it an excellent choice for your stay in the City of Light.

Josée secured us accommodations in a boutique hotel where I’d stayed before, Villa des Artistes in the 6th arrondissement.

Josée secured us accommodations in a boutique hotel where I’d stayed before, Villa des Artistes in the 6th arrondissement. She had offered other, fancier places since this was an anniversary trip, but we opted for this 3-star hotel since we planned to have many outings throughout our stay and wanted to save some money for special dinners and other activities.

The hotel was just as I remembered: charming, clean, and comfortable, with a supremely helpful front-desk staff, generous continental breakfast. When we arrived in France, our friendly driver, Michael, met us at the airport and brought us to the hotel, where we were delighted to be able to check in early after our red-eye flight. We immediately went out to eat delicious crêpes at La Crêperie de Josselin on a nearby side street of Rue Montparnasse, which I believe is part of what is known as “Le Petit Bréton” of Paris.

Authenticity & Character
Clean, charming, with artistic touches and a nice outdoor courtyard. While a dresser to store clothes, and robes, a tub, and washcloths in the bathrooms would have been nice, we were not disappointed since we knew this was a 3-star hotel.
Location
An ideal location for accessing public transportation and taking walks to places such as Le Jardin du Luxembourg, with many wonderful restaurants nearby. One night when we had nothing official on our KimKim agenda, I booked dinner reservations ahead of time at La Closerie de Lilas, right up the street from our hotel. Our meal was fabulous, the service outstanding, and the nearly 4-hour, multicourse dinner we enjoyed allowed us to reflect back on our beautiful day in Chartres. Though it’s 3,500+ miles away from our home, we now think of this restaurant as “our place,” on par with the restaurant in our home state where we got engaged.
Staff
So kind and helpful, particularly with arranging cabs for us. The kitchen staff and housekeepers were also very helpful.

Easy to jump on metro and travel around Paris. Multiple great restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.

Francesc was my favorite front desk person by far. She was very helpful from the day we checked in. I left my purse at the front desk when we checked out and she helped us arrange for an ups pick up. My purse was delivered to me when we arrived in Nice, with everything intact. Thank you so much!!

A quiet, comfortable room with a friendly staff in the heart of Paris. Room was a little small, but not a problem for us. We would recommend it.
