Arty Hotel in Saint Germain des Pres Paris

Here is what Fiona and Leo from Hotelguru.com said about the artistic hotel des Academies et des Arts Paris:

“A perfect reason for basing yourself in Montparnasse and exploring the Left Bank is the new Hôtel des Academies et des Arts 15 rue de la Grande Chaumiere, phone: 0033 1 43 26 66 44; www.hoteldesacademies.com ; doubles from £165 to £214 per night, including breakfast.
The best hotel (…) to have opened in the city for some time, it’s happy proof that the small charming Parisian bolthole is alive and kicking. Husband and wife Laurent and Charlotte Inschauspe have created a spotless, highly individual haven, cosy yet contemporary and full of artistic flair, right opposite the art school La Grande Chaumiere where Gaugin and Modigliani took courses and a few steps from the famous artists’ cafés of Montparnasse.

Two artists have deftly created the hotel’s unique look: Jerome Mesnager, whose joyous white silhouettes are painted directly on to bedroom walls and all the way up the lift shaft  and sculptor – and mother of Charlotte – Sophie Watrigant, whose equally endearing figures climb a dainty steel ladder from the bottom to the top of the five-storey stair well.

As for the 20 bedrooms, they are compact but have the classy feel of a top hotel and come in four distinct designs, all cleverly lit with stone-lined bathrooms, sculptured taps and exceptional beds. Room service is provided by the well-regarded restaurant, Wadja, opposite.

In the morning take breakfast (all fresh) in the tiny ‘petit bistrot’ or at a velvet sofa beside shelves stocked with art books. Or take a seat facing the wall screen and watch an art video as you eat, perhaps of Mesnager at work painting his white figures on to the hotel’s walls. Service is from smiling, smartly uniformed waiters, while receptionists are relaxed and warm. A perfect fusion of quality and character. There’s even a little Moroccan style spa downstairs, where treatments can be arranged at short notice.”
