Le Pavillon des Lettres
Literary, intimate, and quietly elegant. Rich colors and textures. Cozy salon vibe with a fireplace and an honor bar — more like a well-appointed private library than a typical hotel lobby.
The three Junior Suites (Andersen, Baudelaire, Eschyle) can have Eiffel Tower views — request one at the time of booking at no extra cost
Why It Matters
The concept is the whole point: every room is a monument to a different author, with their words printed on the walls. It's Paris's original literary boutique hotel — and it's done with enough design sophistication that you won't feel like you're sleeping in a theme park.
Paris's first literary boutique hotel, the Pavillon des Lettres is built around a single idea: 26 rooms, one for each letter of the alphabet, each dedicated to a great writer from Andersen to Zola. Texts from each author are stenciled directly onto the room walls, so you go to sleep under lines from Kafka, Hugo, or Virginia Woolf. Designer Didier Benderli of Kerylos Intérieurs played with contrasting textures — raw versus silky materials — to create an intimate, somewhat theatrical atmosphere that works surprisingly well without feeling gimmicky. And family-owned by the Chevalier group (same family behind the celebrated Pavillon de la Reine in the Marais), the service is polished without being stiff.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Chambre Deluxe — "Les Belles Lettres"
Three extra square meters make a real difference at this scale. The 14 Deluxe rooms have a softer, warmer palette and — importantly — some offer a bathtub rather than just a shower. One accessible (PMR) room is available in this category on request. Cots available on request. Sleeps 2.
Double · 20 sqmChambre Supérieure — "Les Littéraires"
The smallest category at 17m², these rooms are cozy and compact. Everything you need is here — Nespresso machine, Codage toiletries, robes and slippers, flat-screen TV — but closet space is tight for longer stays. Literary quotes from the room's named author are stenciled on the walls above the bed. Shower only (no bath). Sleeps 2.
Double · 17 sqm
Chambres Familiales
A Deluxe room connected to one or two Superior rooms via a private corridor. The largest configuration sleeps up to 6. Two bathrooms (one with shower, one with bath). Baby equipment available on request (cot, bottle warmer, high chair). This is the only real option for families or larger groups.
2 Doubles (twins on request) · 37 sqm
Junior Suite — "Les Romantiques"
Three suites, each tucked under the mansard roofline on the top floors. The sloped ceilings feel slightly compressed, but the payoff is an Eiffel Tower view from some — most notably the Andersen suite. Other suites look over Parisian rooftops. Room for an extra bed or cot on request, so up to 3 guests. Baignoire or shower. Worth requesting by name at booking.
