At the border of Montmartre's now tamed red-light district sits this former cabaret with much of its deco wood paneling and theatrical trappings intact. Prices are at the low end of its category. The hotel features dark and rich decor, with green walls, red armchairs, an antique caged elevator, and vaudeville posters in the stained-glass-ceilinged lounge. Reproduction furniture, antique prints and oils, and busy modern fabrics fill out the larger-than-average rooms. Some windows face Sacré-Coeur. Guests receive a complimentary book illustrating the history of absinthe, which is once again served in the hotel's historic bar.

We made a credit card booking for a family weekend break here only to arrive and find the hotel covered in scaffolding and our room unavailable due to building work. There was no mention of this when we made the booking, nor was there any mention on the website. The hotel booked us into alternative accommodation that was unsuitable and the staff couldn't really care less about how upset we were. It marred what should have been a treat and I have no desire to take my family back to Paris again. The uncaring staff and dishonesty when we made our booking was very upsetting.
