Chouchou
French pop culture boutique — cheerful, chic, and deliberately unpretentious. Think zinc bar counter, communal wooden tables, DJ sets on weekends, and a playroom for kids during Sunday brunch. Fun without being chaotic.

Why It Matters
One of the few Paris hotels that genuinely functions as a neighborhood hangout. The ground-floor guinguette draws locals for €1 oysters on Tuesdays and live sets Thursday through Saturday. The three private bath suites (bookable independently or as part of a room package) are a genuinely original offering for the city.
Chouchou opened in September 2020 in the 9th arrondissement, a short walk from the Palais Garnier — and it has absolutely nothing to do with the stiff formality of that neighborhood's grand old hotels. This is a 4-star boutique with 63 rooms, a guinguette restaurant, a live music stage, and three private hot-tub baths bookable by the hour. French pop culture is the stated theme: colorful rooms with parquet floors and artistic touches, herringbone cornices, Japanese toilets, and a vibe that's more convivial apartment than hotel.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Room
14–18 m² rooms for two, with either a street or courtyard view. Option of a 160×200 double or two twin beds. The same full amenity kit as other rooms — parquet floors, Japanese toilet, Codage products — just at the entry-level double size.
1 double bed (160×200 cm) or 2 twin beds · 16 sqm
Deluxe Room
26 m² with a view over the hotel's glass-roofed verrière. Some units include a bath. A comfortable mid-tier option if you want more space than Classic without going to suite level.
1 double bed (160×200 cm) or 2 twin beds · 26 sqm
Junior Suite – La Vie en Rose
33 m² junior suite with rooftop views over Paris. Has both a shower and a bathtub, plus an in-room coffee machine that the standard rooms lack. Named after the Piaf song, it has the most romantic positioning in the building.
