Setting

Leafy and laidback 16th

Paris is for lovers — but it’s also for all that ensues from that Tour Eiffel proposal… Hôtel Noucha welcomes families, offering baby kit, child-tailored dishes and a peaceful locale. Named after the owner’s grandmother, the hotel itself is a petit family tree. Tots or not, there’s plenty of passion here, with a roof terrace for classic cocktails, considered design and heirloom pieces to make you feel right at home.

At the hotel

Our favourite rooms

Even with their striped panels, geometric-patterned carpet and jazzy marble mantlepieces, Noucha’s rooms embrace quiet luxury, featuring custom and antique details reflecting the building’s considered styling (by local designer Jordane Arrivetz) and hand-me-down heritage. Lean into the ‘luxury’ by booking a Duplex, which has a private terrace and more space than your average city room; or the Junior Suite, which also has a view of the Eiffel Tower. Families, meanwhile, will be comfortable in the connecting rooms or the ultra-private, four-bedroom Maison Parisienne.

Packing tips

Bring a few well-thumbed Balzac or Molière tomes to flash in the cafés (both writers have history in this area). But save space in your suitcase for your own heirlooms from the Passy brocante (flea market).

Also

The hotel’s meeting room has a charming literary theme and is lined with books.

Pet‐friendly

On request, les petits chiens are welcome to stay for free (charges may apply if there are any damages). See more pet-friendly hotels in Paris.

Children

This doesn’t just feel like a family heirloom — with its connecting rooms and standalone apartments, baby kit aplenty and kindly staff, it’s very much a home for all la famille.

Best for

Babes in cradles to culture-seeking teens.

Recommended rooms

The Maison Parisienne is formed of several apartments next door to the main hotel, so it feels like your own residence. Otherwise, there are plenty of connecting options.

Activities

None on-site, but kids can run around the Bois du Boulogne, where you’ll find child-friendly distractions such as the Jardin d'Acclimatation amusement park and Alexis Gruss Circus. You’re in prime position for boat trips along the Seine, and there are several music venues, colour-splashed modern-art galleries and stylish toy shops.

Meals

The hotel has high-chairs and bottle-warmers for tots, and if you expect something as pedestrian as a chicken nugget in a soigné joint like this, think again — the kids’ menu has plates of gnocchi topped with Comté cheese or minced steak with seasonal vegetables.

Babysitting

The hotel has a list of trusted babysitters that guests can call on (prices vary).

No need to pack

The hotel has a small cache of kit, with changing mats and colouring books, but bring any essentials or beloved toys.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Dote on Paris like a lover from the hotel’s flowery rooftop terrace.

Dress Code

Make like the decor and adorn yourself with meaningful vintage accoutrements.

Hotel restaurant

Noucha’s restaurant sits on the ground floor and courts no airs and graces — shelves bearing antique knick-knacks continue the at-home attitude and banquettes and bistro tables cosily seat couples or families. Dishes take the similar, simple yet perfectly executed look Parisians apply to dressing: radishes sprinkled with smoked salt and dipped in whipped butter; veal chop in its own rich jus; and a top-tier beef tartare. Make it a local-style long lunch to include the cherry-and-pistachio mille-feuille.

Hotel bar

The bijou bar area leads off from the restaurant. Decked out in racing-green panelling, marble and tan leather, it’s a handsome apéritif-taking spot. A classic Saint-Germain Spritz or Dry Martini feel fitting choices here, but the signature Noucha cocktail (gin, passionfruit cream, lime and ginger ale) goes down easy, too. There are mocktails for abstainers, and — naturellement — an excellent edit of French wines by region. 

Last orders

Breakfast runs from 7am to 10.30am, lunch is from noon to 2.30pm, and dinner from 7pm to 10pm. Drinks and snacks are available from noon to 10pm.

Address
Hôtel Noucha
66 Rue Jean de la Fontaine
Paris
75016
France

Hôtel Noucha has found its niche in the lesser-trodden, more residential 16th arrondissement, in the Auteuil neighbourhood, between the bend of the Seine and the Bois du Boulogne.

Planes

Charles de Gaulle is a 40-minute drive from the hotel, while Paris Orly is a 30-minute drive away. Hotel staff can help with arranging transfers.

Trains

From the Gare du Nord, Eurostar arrivals can ride the Metro’s pink Line 4 to the Odéon stop then change to yellow Line 9 and disembark at the Église d'Auteuil stop, just a 10-mninute walk from the hotel. Otherwise, a taxi ride will take you around 40 minutes. You’re well placed for exploring other arrondissements here, with the Jasmin (Line 9) stop also within easy walking distance.

Automobiles

There’s no parking on-site, but there is charged public parking nearby. Paris is better suited to walkers anyway, so we recommend only hiring wheels if you’re heading beyond the city limits.

Worth getting out of bed for

The 16th arrondissement isn’t far from Paris megastars, the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower (which you’ll spy throughout the neighbourhood), yet feels undiscovered. Its Haussmannian buildings house an authentic community, so you get a taste of the real Paris, albeit one where citizens fill their wardrobes at Isabel Marant and top up their larders at La Grande Épicerie. The one-time stomping ground of Molière and Racine, it’s still culture-heavy, home to the Musée d’Art Moderne, Musée Marmottan-Monet (with Claude’s flowery works) and Maison de Balzac. Plus fashion-and-art temples in the form of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent, Palais Galliera and Fondation Louis Vuitton. The latter is set in a fanciful Frank Gehry building in sprawling Bois du Boulogne parkland, which is home to the Longchamp racecourse and other distractions. 

Local restaurants

With eats that veer from detox smoothies to truffle-topped eggs to grilled tuna or Chateaubriand, you’ll come away from lively eatery Le Murat feeling very virtuous or very full. Restaurant Solemar represents for Paris’s Lebanese dining scene with citrussy meats, kebabs and ousmaliyeh (vermicelli with cream and honey). Both are within a 10-minute walk of the hotel, but head further north for La Causerie, a trad bistro in style with modern French plates: gnocchi with snails, leeks vinaigrette with caviar and chartreuse-sodden babas

Local cafés

Noir on Rue Gustave Courbet is a chic coffee outpost where you can grab a slab-like cookie with your espresso or matcha latte. And in writer Honoré de Balzac’s 19th-century maison, the Rose Bakery is tucked into the garden, for a back-in-time bucolic feel (even with the café’s modern Scandi look). Order the signature carrot cake to wash down with an organic wine.

Local bars

With its terrace of rattan chairs and vintage wooden bar, Cravan feels like the crack out the Gauloises and get deep into the meaning of life kinda spot. But with its mod menu of herbaceous cocktails and martinis, and lobster rolls and caviar to pair, it’s also up for frothy fun. Close to the Seine, Le Belair’s lining of copper mirrors makes selfies extremely flattering, even towards its 2am closing time, after you’ve raided the wine list.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this family saga of a stay in a quieter corner of western Paris and unpacked their Lola James Harper parfums and treasures from the Passy covered market, a full account of their chic-with-kids break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Hôtel Noucha… 

Hospitality is hereditary at Hôtel Noucha: this beautifully appointed hideaway is now owned by Samuel Gelrubin of the Terrot real-estate group, but once upon a time it was owned by his grandmother, who emigrated from Poland to run the hotel. And, in the sort of gesture sure to get one firmly instated on a will, Gelrubin named the new incarnation of the hotel after her. One look at the elegant mouldings, marble fireplaces, parquet flooring and Parisian designer Jordane Arrivetz’s other haute touches, and you’ll wish you were a successor too. But even those outside the lineage will feel right at home here — especially those with children in tow — thanks to warm, friendly staff, cosy rooms and an unfussed locale, rarely run over with tourists.
