Named theHôtel du Sentier, this hotel is located, as you may have guessed, in the Sentier district, and more precisely in the Passage du Caire, the capital' s oldest covered passageway , but also its longest and narrowest.
Specialized during the Second Empire in printing and lithography, then in clothing manufacture, the Sentier district has, over the last few years, modernized and diversified, welcoming a number of restaurants, bars and co-working spaces. All that was missing was a new hotel... And now it's here!
Charlotte and Samuel Castro, the owners, called onarchitect Vincent Bastie of the Artefak agency to build a hotel in this historically listed passageway, with a specific goal in mind: to recreate the comfort of a Parisian apartment, with no other aim than to restore the warmth and conviviality of home.
After more than 18 months of renovation, theHôtel du Sentier now boasts 30 luminous rooms on 6 floors, and no fewer than 76 windows, each more astonishing than the last - with a special mention for the cloverleaf-shaped windows, rebuilt identically to the original 1826 model. There are also connecting rooms, a double shower room and two duplex rooms with roof terraces overlooking the rooftops of Paris.
On the food front,Hôtel du Sentier boasts a restaurant where healthy, seasonal French cuisine is the order of the day. On the menu are retro bistro dishes and grandma's recipes, such as the unmissable blanquette de veau, also available to take away. And let's not forget breakfast, afternoon tea and brunch to accompany every moment of the day.
