They say that ‘Paris is always a good idea’… and we think they could be right! If you ever find yourself in this marvellous city, stay at the Hotel Madison on Paris’s left bank.
With its array of charming side streets, fashionable façades and an illustrious history, it is difficult not to fall in love with the city of love. The air of romance is palpable when strolling down the Parisian streets and the ambiance is one that never leaves your memory. Lets not forget the radiating scent of freshly baked bread and the store windows embellished with intricate desserts.
The left bank is bursting with a rich history of bohemian ideals and salacious tales of debauchery. At the turn of the century it was home to some of the most influential artists and writers that the world has ever known. Weaved within the left bank are the famous streets Boulevard Saint-Germain and Boulevard Saint-Michel. Not too far away, one can enjoy a show at the infamous Moulin Rouge in Montparnasse. This side of the river seine is known for its illuminating nightlife, the evening scenes are captivating with the colourful people and sidewalk musicians.
In the midst of this cultural hub lies the Hotel Madison, a petit and unassuming hotel opposite the Church of Saint-Germain des Pres. It is moments away from Musee de’Orsay, the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral. The Hotel Madison has a charming contemporary yet warm interior that contrasts beautifully with its traditional surroundings. With only 50 rooms, this boutique hotel is dedicated to all of its visitors and will provide a fantastic stay and all-round travel experience. If you are able to get a room facing the boulevard, you can wake up to the glorious sight of the sun rising behind the Church of Saint-Germain.
As well as being at the heart of the Latin Quarter, Hotel Madison is just a step away from historical cafés such as Café De Flore and Café Les Deux Magots. With its own bar and breakfast room, and public transport right outside its doors, the Hotel Madison is the perfect place to stay when in Paris.
For all the literature buffs out there, it has been said that Albert Camus spent some time finishing his existentialist novel, The Outsider in this very hotel during the 1940’s.
