The peaceful boutique A La Villa des Artistes sits in the heart of the Left Bank, close to the Luxembourg Gardens and Saint Germain des Prés. The artistic credentials are well earned, with past guests including Beckett, Fitzgerald, Foujita, and Modigliani visiting its individually decorated rooms, and the hotel atmosphere harkens back to Montparnasse in the 1930s.
Today, each room is decorated in honor of a different art movement, such as cubism or surrealism. Start your day with the breakfast buffet on the veranda or in the garden before consulting the welcoming staff about the best agenda for your daily wander.
