Heart of the Latin Quarter, Paris | Late Checkout

While the hotel lobby feels quite tiny, beyond the elevator doors, the building houses 48 rooms. My hip “Professor” room included a very comfortable queen-sized bed, plenty of space to store my suitcases and hang clothing, a bathroom with a full tub and shower, and nice touches like a high-end hair dryer, kettle, and air-conditioning—something that is pretty rare in small Parisian hotels. This room also had an assortment of vinyl and a record player, Google Chromecast, WiFi, and even a selection of books to keep me entertained. I can’t imagine a family with kids necessarily staying at this hotel, but as a solo business traveler and a creative, I felt right at home.
