What to Expect in a Boutique Hotel in Paris

In Paris, hotel rooms are smaller than you may be used to, even at many luxury hotels. Boutique hotels are "intimate" (another way of saying small) — but what they lack in space, they make up in charm and style. Don't be surprised if your hotel elevator is the size of a closet with barely enough room for one person and a suitcase. Remember, Paris is an old city with old buildings, and elevators were an afterthought, fit into whatever space could be found.

Many times the breakfast room will be found in the cellar of the hotel, but hotels breakfasts can be expensive. Save money and get a better Parisian experience by heading to a local boulangerie or café for a more satisfying petit déjeuner (breakfast) of coffee and croissant or other freshly baked pastries.
