The setting
Hôtel Le Royal is in Paris’s 14th arrondissement, on Rue de la Gaite on the Left Bank, where the Montparnasse and Saint-Germain neighbourhoods meet. The neighbourhood is a residential area with a calm, elegant atmosphere, lined with cafés on every street corner; a short walk north will take you to the Luxembourg Gardens. The hotel’s interior masterfully blends modern elements with neoclassical accents, making it ideal for couples who prefer a calm, sophisticated atmosphere over the typical tourist-oriented pomp. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, and there is also a bar where you can relax after a long walk, as well as parking for guests arriving by car. You can book sightseeing tours at the tour desk, and getting around the city is very easy thanks to the shuttle service.
What to expect
This is a small 3-star hotel with a quiet, mature atmosphere, where you’ll be greeted by staff who are well acquainted with the regular guests from Paris. The rooms are decorated in a style that blends classic and modern elements, with a greater emphasis on cleanliness than luxury. The common areas have a lounge-like atmosphere and are perfect for quietly enjoying a glass of wine before heading out into the city. The hotel features a bar and a restaurant, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. Additionally, a shuttle service is offered for trips around the city. Since parking is available at nearby metered lots, this is very convenient in this part of Paris. The hotel is also suitable for guests with children, making it ideal for a family holiday, although the overall atmosphere here remains romantic. The front desk staff will be happy to help you book tours.
Things to do nearby
The “Création” market is literally just around the corner and is perfect for a stroll before breakfast. Also nearby are the Ecole Alsacienne and College Stanislas, which contribute to the calm, everyday rhythm so characteristic of this neighbourhood in the 14th arrondissement, where the cityscape is defined by schools and bakeries. In addition, Rue de la Gaite—lined with numerous theatres and exuding the lively spirit of good old Montparnasse—is just a few minutes’ walk away and perfect for an evening stroll. Art lovers can walk to the “Musée de l’Musée Atelier Zadkine”—the former studio and garden of sculptor Zadkine—in just a few minutes. From the hotel, you can walk to the Luxembourg Gardens and the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood, and most of the Left Bank of the Seine is easily explored on foot.
Best for
Couples after a Rive Gauche base with neo-classical character and a short walk to the Luxembourg gardens. Works for solo travellers too, and families are welcome thanks to the child-friendly setup. Less suited to anyone wanting a big resort or nightlife on the doorstep.

Your 4 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arriving on the Rive Gauche
Once you’ve dropped off your luggage at the hotel on Rue de las Piles, head out right away for a stroll around the neighbourhood. Walk past the “Creation Market,” explore the quiet streets around the Ecole Alsacienne, and find a café terrace where you can enjoy an afternoon coffee. When the sun isn’t quite so hot, take a leisurely stroll toward Luxembourg Park, and on your way back, stop by the hotel bar to enjoy a typical French drink.
Montparnasse art and theatres
Spend the morning at the “Musée Atelier Zadkine”—the former studio of sculptor Zadkine, in a secluded spot deep within a lush, green courtyard. Take a lunch break at a bistro near Stanislas College, then head to the Montparnasse district. In the evening, take a stroll down Rue de la Gaite and choose a theatre or a cozy jazz club. For dinner, consider a leisurely meal at a brasserie near the main street.
Saint-Germain and the big sights
How about spending a leisurely day strolling north toward Saint-Germain-des-Prés, admiring the windows of bookstores and antique shops, and watching the hustle and bustle of passersby at the Café de Flore? From there, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the Seine, and if you feel like crossing the river, the Louvre and Notre-Dame Cathedral are right nearby. Later in the afternoon, you’ll return to the hotel via the Luxembourg Gardens. If you’d like to go out for dinner again, please contact the front desk to arrange a shuttle.
A last Parisian morning
After enjoying breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere, it’s worth spending the rest of your time doing things you haven’t had a chance to experience yet. A short stroll through “Creation Market” is the perfect way to find last-minute gifts, and it’s also nice to simply wander through the streets around the hotel. If you arrived by car, parking spaces are available, so you won’t have to worry about where to park. Otherwise, simply check out, ask about a shuttle to the train station, and leave the hotel with a cup of coffee in hand.

When is the best time to visit Paris?
July is the perfect time to enjoy this city. The days are long and warm, the café terraces stay bustling well into the evening, and the Luxembourg Gardens are at their most beautiful.
