What is the best arrondisement in Paris?
Hello, We will be in Paris at the end of this year and would like to know in which arrondisement to try and find a small boutique hotel. We have previously stayed in the Latin Quartier, which was terrific, however, would be very interested to hear from fellow travellers what they might think is the most convenient area in order to get around Paris (mainly by walking). Also if anyone has found an absolute gem of a hotel where the beds are bigger than the standard 'double' size, I would love to know this also. Many thanks!

Try the Kleber.
7, rue de Belloy
Totally different environment than the Latin Quarter.
Right now the Kleber is running a special on room costs Hopefully your time in Paris will be within their special rate window. The offer is good through 30 December.
The €199 rooms are offered for €99.

The newest and strangest boutique hotel in Paris is the Kube Hôtel (www.kubehotel.com). The hotel and area will rock your world -- it's in the middle of the Indian/African/Arab district behind Gare du Nord. People are flocking to it -- especially the below zero ice bar -- like there's no tomorrow.

We stayed in the Hotel du Champ de Mars, in the 7th, last year and loved it. Its a small hotel. The rooms are on the small side, but out our window was a beautiful view of the top half of the Eiffel tower. The room itself was cozy and quaint.

Try the Lutetia in the 6th for something central and close enough to the river to walk and a short metro to the 7th.

I don't know that a dose of Indian, African, or Arab culture is what the average visitor to <i>Paris</i> is looking for, any more than people go to Amsterdam to eat Indonesian food.
Also, when visiting a strange city, staying in the strangest hotel of the city may be pushing the envelope a bit.
