Hôtel du Cadran

Hôtel du Cadran Review

With its display of customized sweets for sale by trendy chocolatier Christopher Russel, the lobby of the Cadran looks more like a modern chocolate shop; and in fact, the "chocolate bar-boutique" serves specialized coffees, hot cocoa, and handmade macarons throughout the day in a cozy area with contemporary black leather armchairs. Expect a low-key, minimalist ambience just off the famed Rue Cler. Rooms redesigned three years ago in sleek decor are clean, and have flat-screen TVs and large queen- or king-size beds with fluffy duvet comforters. Head downstairs in the morning to the modern salle à manger—ambient lighting and black-and-white designer lattice chairs make it feel more like a hip lounge than breakfast room. In late 2012, the hotel opened its second property across the street with only 12 triplets.
