Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel des Académies et des Arts

Directly across the street from the historic art studio Académie de la Grande Chaumière, where drawing and painting lessons are still taught, this hotel embraces the creative history and significance of the neighborhood, once home to many painters and artists. The lobby is an intimate art gallery, while craftsman woodwork gives the rooms a sober, retro-sleek feel. A drawing workspace is available for those who are feeling creative, and artists are welcome to gather at the honesty bar.
