Located in Paris’ historic 5th arrondissement, the newly opened Hotel Grand Cœur Latin combines modern comfort, convenience, and rich history. Situated near the iconic Sorbonne University, this 4-star hidden gem serves as the perfect base for exploring the vibrant Latin Quarter.
The hotel’s design is a masterful collaboration between renowned interior designer Marie-Paule Clout, celebrated for her work blending modern elegance with timeless charm, and architect Vincent Bastie, a Parisian visionary known for his expertise in restoring heritage buildings. Together, they’ve created a space that bridges past and present, incorporating elements from various eras into a truly unique ambiance.
The underground pool and spa, inspired by Roman baths, reflect the archaeological discoveries made during the hotel’s renovation, adding an air of historical intrigue to your stay. At the heart of the hotel lies an airy courtyard, a green oasis where you can enjoy a drink from the chic bar. In the morning, this same space offers an excellent breakfast spread to kickstart your Parisian adventures. Their croissants specifically were well above average for a French hotel breakfast.
While the common areas and pool are still undergoing some construction, the rooms are ready to welcome guests. Though on the smaller side, the rooms feature thoughtful designs and modern amenities like air conditioning and in-room coffee and tea facilities. With such a prime location, you’ll likely spend most of your time exploring anyway.
A short stroll from the hotel brings you to the Luxembourg Gardens, Notre-Dame Cathedral, or the Louvre Museum, making it an ideal base for immersing yourself in Parisian culture.
