Inside Paris' Le Pavillon des Lettres
We knew the doors are open and les iPads were on offer at Le Pavillon des Lettres, but it took a trip to Paris to finally check out the 26 rooms at this literary-themed boutique a short skip from the Champs Élysées. First impressions? C'est bon!
As we've reported, designer Didier Benderli, who did Pavillon de la Reine in the Third, masterminded the upgrade here, with custom furniture, '50s-inspired accents and sumptuous materials throughout. And the most obvious design feature: Each of the rooms is named for an author, with quotations hand-painted on the walls and a copy of the text from which they're drawn on the bedside table. (Fear not, digerati: these books are also pre-loaded on the guests-only iPads handed out at check in.)
Rooms are, as befits a city hotel, on the smaller side, but the ground-floor "salon" offers plenty of space to spread out. Alternatively, a sixth-floor junior suite has sweeping views of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, that was sadly all but obscured by this morning's misty weather.
Opening rates are still on offer and include breakfast and a supply of the hotel's custom tea blend, from 300 euros through the end of February. After that, prices don't creep up—but you'll have to rustle up breakfast on your own. Pas de problème in Paris, non?
