Hôtel des Academies et des Arts
Style Life on canvas
Setting Arty Rive Gauche
Situated on the same Paris street that was once home to Gauguin and Modigliani, Hôtel des Academies et des Arts is a homage to the artists who once painted this part of the town red – and continue to do so. This 20-room hotel is the epitome of Left Bank chic, but that doesn’t mean it’s shambolic – standards and service are every bit as high-end as at the city’s grand five-stars.

Our favourite rooms
We love the Commedienne rooms (available across all categories), which are inspired by legendary 1920s party girl Kiki de Montparnasse. They have a real theatrical feel, and come with scarlet headboards, vibrant purple throws on the beds and an extremely decadent atmosphere. The black, grey and white rooms inspired by Mannery, a close friend of Picasso’s, are also beautiful.
Packing tips
Bring a sketchbook – you’re bound to be inspired by those white figures that are painted everywhere.
