Nothing makes me happier than landing a Paris hotel room with the big french door/ windows.  Even better a view that includes  Paris rooftops.  This trip we had both.  We absolutely loved our stay at  Grand Pigalle in the 11th.  I picked this hotel instead of the usual airbnb apartment because I wanted a place that had a little bit of a scene. The hotel has a great bar and restaurant that attract   a diverse and hip crowd and the neighborhood is pretty trendy with a lot going on but not to   touristy.  We spent a lot of time just lying on the bed with the windows open, it was very upsetting to leave we just weren't ready for it to be over.


The carpeting in the hotel public areas has a pattern of cocktail glasses, need I say more. 



Loved our tasseled room key

loved the phone also

This was the best jazz station, we had it playing 24/7 in the room 

Everything sparkled in the bathroom it was super clean and shiny




I am never without a little travel candle to add ambiance to the room

Wine left over from Greece


drinks at the bar downstairs

We got back to the hotel really late one night, the kitchen was closed but our waiter offered to get us a plate of cold cuts.  He brought us this wonderful prosciutto, burrata salad ( we love burrata)  and an assortment of bread.  Perfect!!

Views of Paris rooftops as seen from our bedroom window.  




Tree apartments right across from us.  We were super nosy the night before, they all had dinner guests. 



This is what you see if you are on the la toilette








I love windows in bathrooms,especially big french one with a view.  I love the positioning of the plant, so you can sit and window watch unseen
