Grand Amour Hotel
Arty, bohemian, festive. Feels like staying inside a very well-curated collector's apartment. Fashion industry crowd, artists, and nightlife regulars all pass through. The carpets in the corridors were designed by André Saraiva himself. Walls feature work by Man Ray, Brassaï, Pierre Molinier and Guy Bourdin.
Book room 304, curated by Olivier Zahm (Purple magazine): thick curtains, erotic black-and-white photography, double shower heads, and Hermès soaps
Why It Matters
Created by André Saraiva — the graffiti artist whose Mr. A character is all over Paris — it was an instant hangout for the fashion and art world when it opened. The BookBar alone draws locals who aren't even staying. The Sunday oysters-and-DJ-set is a genuine neighborhood ritual.
Grand Amour is the bigger, louder sibling of the original Hôtel Amour in Pigalle. Founded by André Saraiva (the Swedish-French graffiti artist behind the mythical Mr. A character) and Thierry Costes, it sits on rue de la Fidélité in the 10th arrondissement — deep in the Faubourg St-Denis neighborhood, a few blocks from Gare de l'Est. The vibe is bohemian-arty-festive: 42 rooms stuffed with collected furniture, erotic photography, signed art, and Italian ceramic tile bathrooms, with a ground-floor restaurant and a secret BookBar behind it. No TV, no telephone. You can reach the front desk by mobile app.

Double (180cm) · 40 sqm
Artist's Room
Rooms curated by specific artist collaborators — most notably Olivier Zahm (founder of Purple magazine) and Claude Ruteau. Room 304 by Zahm is the standout: thick curtains, erotic black-and-white photography, Hermès soaps, and double shower heads. Each artist room is a totally distinct creative statement.
DoubleLarge Double Room
20m² rooms — there are only three of these, and they're officially called the 'Artist's Rooms' (chambres des artistes). Shower-equipped; one of the three, on the top floor, adds a bathtub. Decorated with artwork and signed furniture.
Double · 20 sqmMedium Room
At 15m², a bit more breathing room for two people. Some have shower only, some have a bathtub, some have both — it depends on the specific room. Still individually furnished with art photography, collected objects, and a library. Italian ceramic tile bathroom.
Double · 15 sqmSmall Room
At 12m², these are genuinely compact — designed for one or two people who plan to spend most of their time out in Paris. Each one is individually decorated with collected vintage pieces and art photography. Shower only, no bath. No TV, no telephone, but most have a small library. Italian ceramic tile bathroom.
Double · 12 sqmSuperior Room
The hotel's 'Junior Suites' at 30m². Small lounge area plus a 1.80m bed and a double shower at the entrance. Some also include a bathtub. More space, same artistic DNA as the rest of the hotel.
