Hereโ€™s my experience staying at Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse in Paris!

About Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse

Hรดtel Thรฉrรจseโ€™s unique experience is due to know-how that has been passed on down the generations of the de Lattre family.

Getting to Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse

Located in the heart of Paris, Hotel Thรฉrรจse has great public transit service and is easy to reach from the cityโ€™s airports and train stations.

I took the RER B train from Charles de Gaulle airport, changing at Chรขtelet station for Line 14 for Pyramides. From there it was only a three-minute walk to the hotel. Easy! A one-way ticket will cost โ‚ฌ10.

Alternative routes include:

Line 7/14: Exit at Pyramides
Line 1: Exit at Palais Royal
Line 3: Exit at Quatre Septembre

By Bus
Many lines nearby includes 95, 39, 27, 68, 21, 81

By Taxi

From Charles de Gaulle Airport a taxi will take 50 minutes. Approximately 50 to 60 euros.
From Orly Airport a taxi will take 50 minutes. Approximately 40 to 45 euros.

The Room

The hotel is a maze of charming hallways and recesses that lead to your room.

Space in Paris is limited so you’ll be hard-pressed to find a hotel room with a queen size bed like this one. Ensuring no detail goes untouched, Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse has a large and cosy bed in each room.

The soothing shades of its furnishings make it the idyllic haven away from the busy city. Thanks to its location, you won’t hear a peep outside as you enjoy a good nights rest.

The Location

Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse is located on the doorstep of Palais Royal and the Comรฉdie Franรงaise quarter, a five-minute walk from the Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens.

In this vibrant area are many of the cityโ€™s best-known theatres, museums and gardens.

Just around the corner is Rue Saint Honorรฉ, a popular shopping strip leading you to the main department stores.

Breakfast and Bar

At Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse breakfast can either be served to your room or enjoyed in a beautiful room on the lower floor. Your day starts with a breakfast that can range from a quick bite of fruit to a full, cooked breakfast.

One aspect Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse that I really liked is that there is both is complimentary tea and coffee in the afternoons and cocktails in the lounge in the evenings.

What could be more French than having a croissant for breakfast? ? Except, croissants aren’t actually French, they are an Austrian invention! ? ?? โ€ขโ€ขโ€ข More specifically, croissants are Viennese and were created in celebration of the Habsburgsโ€™ defeat of the Ottoman empire at the Battle of Vienna in 1683. โ€ขโ€ข And the shape? The croissant’s famous crescent shape was actually inspired by the Ottoman flag. Rumour has it that Marie Antoinette, who was born in Vienna, introduced the croissant to Paris in 1770 before the French Revolution, but croissants only appeared in a widespread way in France in the mid-19th century, the first description of a Viennese baker in Paris being in 1838. โ€ขโ€ข Bon appรฉtit! โ€ขโ€ข @hotel_therese #hoteltherese

In My Opinion

Two nights at Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse provided me with enough time to experience everything in the hotel. I arrived Friday afternoon and left the around midday just after lunch on Sunday.

I stayed in Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse eleven years ago on my first European trip and it left such a lasting impression that I had to go back. Itโ€™s cosy, elegant, and charming. This place is the real deal.

Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse is literally the most beautiful boutique hotel Iโ€™ve ever stayed at. The breakfast, staff and accommodation truly are next level amazing. If you’re heading to Paris, be sure to consider staying at Hรดtel Thรฉrรจse.
