🌟 Paris Hotel Review: Maison Pigalle – Compact Chic Near Opera

Just wrapped up a 3-night stay at this hidden gem – perfect for design lovers who prioritize location and practicality! 🎨 Vibe Check • Small but Stylish: Moody jewel-toned rooms with retro flair (think velvet headboards + vintage radios). • Bathroom Wins: Spotless rain showers + clothes drying rack (life-saver for laundry emergencies!). 📍 Location Perks • Metro Access: 8-min walk to Notre-Dame-de-Lorette (Line 12) or Saint-Georges (Line 12). • Shopping Heaven: 15-min stroll to Galeries Lafayette/Printemps – they’ll store your haul in their safe! • Food Scene: 🥟 800m to Chez Xu (best soup dumplings in Paris!) 🍷 Cozy bistros like Le Pantruche (book ahead!). 💰 Price Talk • Summer 2024 Alert: Paid €1,600/night (Olympics spike!) – check for off-season deals under €300. • Tax Shock: Paris’ tourist tax hit €5+/night (ouch). 🤫 Pro Tips • Request upper-floor rooms for quieter nights (Pigalle area gets lively!). • Skip breakfast – boulangeries nearby do €3 croissants better. • The "secret" courtyard is ideal for evening apéro. 📍 41 Rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, 75009 #ParisHiddenGems #BoutiqueHotel #OperaDistrict #ParisOnFoot #DesignHotel
