Fodor's Review:
This bold hotel straddles the fashionable Marais district in the 3 and the hip student and artist neighborhood of Oberkampf in the 11. Brightly colored vinyl armchairs, an industrial metal staircase, and glass tables mark the lobby, which hosts monthly art exhibitions. Out back, a small courtyard is decked in hardwood, a look you'll rarely see in Paris. The rooms hum with primary reds and yellows, some with Keith Haring prints. Kaleidoscopes of ceramic fragments tile the bathrooms.
