Hotel Pavillon de la Reine is a haven: the flowered courtyard isolates
the guest rooms from the outside animation. This hotel is located in the
Place des Vosges, with a delightful flowering square of its own, and it
stands draped in cascades of greenery and hanging baskets. The Place des
Vosges was built in 1605 by King Henry IV of France in the ancient
aristocratic quarter of Marais. It is still considered one of the most
beautiful squares in the world with nine houses on each side built over
arcades which are home to chic restaurants, antique shops, private art
galleries and Le Pavillon de la Reine. If your room doesn't overlook the
courtyard, then you may contemplate the patio planted of trees and
flowers.
On entering, one can feel its sense of history. The objects d'art are
antique and the paintings original, some centuries old. Many bedrooms
and suites still expose their ancient timbers and have romantic
four-poster beds. Heritage and present-day comforts are cleverly
interwoven. The furnishings are designed with typical French flair, the
facilities right up-to-date with air conditioning, five-star amenities
and luxurious bathrooms. Having breakfast under the vaults of the cellar
decorated with tapestries is a good way to start the day. Pains au
chocolat, croissants, and French baguette bread freshly baked by the
next-door baker are always very much appreciated by the guests.
All rooms (each of them decorated differently) are equipped with
telephone, wireless internet connexion, air-conditionning, safe, minibar,
flat screens with satellite TV, bathtub and hairdryer, bathrobe and
slippers.
Computer with complimentary internet access available in the lobby.
