Le General

Tucked just behind the Place de la République, on quite rue Rampon, on the eastern border of the Marais, this hotel introduces affordable, contemporary style to the 11th district. Jean-Philippe Nuel's gracious decoration, always based on purity and minimalism, yields one of Paris's fashionable and fun hotels. Pink accents unite the colorful, geometric furnishings in the lobby and lounge, and the reception desk is reminiscent of the rosewood monolith. The hotel bar is lively with a crowd of Paris. Eros chairs by Starck sidle up to chintz with a 19th century floral pattern, given a psychedelic flavor by magnification. In the rooms, the style is dark wood is paired with chocolate leather, and light wood with beige. The accommodations offer topnotch services."
