A clean, well run, basic hotel, with modern decor, situated a good 30 minute walk from the Marais. The addition of the Marais in the title is obviously designed to trick the unsuspecting traveller into thinking that the hotel is situated there, but trust me, it isn't! It is not a 'Detox' hotel - it does offer in room massage... more

My husband and I LOVE this hotel. We are world travelers, have stayed in many 4 star hotels and I can't say enough about the excellence of the Hotel Gabriel in the Marais. It is beautifully designed... with unbelievable attention to details, from the lobby on up. Paris is notorious for its hit and miss in hotel ratings (some 3... more

The hotel advertises itself as a "detox" hotel and is certainly unusual with many clever ideas, but with the devil in the detail that stops it short of a 5* rating. I got the feeling that the architect/designer had come up with many good ideas but had never had to actually spend a night in the hotel and fine tune... more

Fantastic room in a fantastic hotel. The staff were cheery and very helpful. The rooms were big enough and comfortable and clean. The bed was a 'dream', and ameneties very good quality. The bathroom was excellent. I was a lone traveller on business but would definitely go back with my partner for a romantic stay. Can't recommend this highly enough!! more

I stayed at the Gabriel in September 2009. I would stay there again. Pros: - Very clean - Extremely comfortable bed (best I've experienced in Paris) - Newly renovated/stylish - Flat panel TV/iPod dock/clock radio - Excellent shower (strong water pressure) - Good soundproofing between rooms (generally quiet except for people talking in the hallway occasionally) - Non-smoking - Convenient... more

this is a lovely small hotel just approx 5 mins walk from the republic metro stop so not in the middle of town but a couple of stops from the eurostar terminal. The hotel is very design savvy and the room was an average size with handy storage but a little too much design and not a lot of practical.... more

My trip was off to an awful start. My boyfriend and I were headed to Paris for the Labour Day weekend for a 4day French rendez-vous. So needless to say I was in a terrible mood when our flights on Air Canada were cancelled and we did not arrive in Paris until 15hrs after we were originally meant to. Thankfully... more

For a couple of nights in Paris you can do no better than treat yourself to the most comfortable bed and cosy rooms to be found anywhere. A complete haven of peace and self-indulgence. Couldn't be better located the staff are great. You might even get to glimpse the odd celebrity in the lobby. more
