2 Best Hotels in The Latin Quarter, Paris

Small is beautiful at this design hotel on a quiet street near the Rue Mouffetard market and the Latin Quarter. Boudoir-like rooms include fairy lights above the beds, fluffy duvets, original Chinese-lacquer artworks, and 400 satellite channels on the flat-screen TVs. All rooms have free Wi-Fi access and L'Occitane toiletries in the bathrooms. The unorthodox retreat was designed to stimulate the five senses, hence the hotel's name.

Just behind Place d'Italie and a short stroll from both the Jardin des Plantes and Rue Mouffetard, La Manufacture's lesser-known location makes you feel like a vrai (real) Parisian. The lobby has oak floors, subtle lighting, a wooden bar, and a cozy breakfast room. Rooms are decorated in clean lines and natural colors; options include triples and eight sets of connecting rooms for families. The most expensive top-floor rooms are more spacious and have Eiffel Tower or Panthéon views.
