Hôtel de Nell
Refined minimalism with a Parisian collector's sensibility. Quiet, art-forward, and intentionally understated. Closer in feel to staying in a cultured friend's Haussmann apartment than a typical luxury hotel.
Request a Superior or Deluxe room for views over the Église Sainte-Cécile — the neo-Gothic façade is genuinely striking
Why It Matters
Opened in March 2012, Jean-Michel Wilmotte's design brought a new level of material sophistication to the 9th: heated parquet floors, organic wool carpets, black stone showers, and those single-block Japanese marble baths in the upper room categories. The hotel is also genuinely intimate at 33 rooms — staff know your name.
A 33-room, 5-star boutique hotel on a quiet side street in Paris's 9th arrondissement, designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and part of the Esprit de France collection. The interior reads like a collector's apartment: warm cream and burgundy tones, preserved mouldings, picture rails, and rotating contemporary artworks loaned from neighbouring galleries. Some rooms have Japanese marble bathtubs carved from single blocks — a genuine signature detail.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Room
The entry-level room, but don't underestimate it — the rounded windows overlooking the quiet interior courtyard and the well-considered materials make it feel calm rather than compact. Good for a solo traveler or a couple who will mostly be out exploring Paris.
King or Queen · 22 sqm
Deluxe Room
Three large windows face a classic Haussmann façade, filling the room with natural light throughout the day. The real draw is the Japanese marble bathtub — carved from a single block, fitted with Oregon wood accessories. This is where the hotel's signature material richness really lands.
King or Queen · 30 sqm
Junior Suite
At 55m², this is genuinely spacious for Paris. Separate bedroom and living room, and a wraparound balcony with unobstructed views over the Parisian rooftops all the way to the forecourt of the Église Sainte-Cécile. The suite sleeps up to 4. The fluidity between indoor and outdoor spaces is the standout feature.
King · 55 sqmPrestige Room
On the 5th floor with a private balcony over Rue du Conservatoire — the generous volumes open up here, and the combination of the outdoor space with the Japanese marble bath makes this feel like a proper retreat. One reviewer noted arriving to a bottle of champagne waiting in this category.
King or Queen · 35 sqmSuperior Room
Nine rooms in this category, all looking onto the 19th-century neo-Gothic Église Sainte-Cécile. The church view is genuinely beautiful. Clean lines, carefully selected materials. A solid choice for business and leisure alike — note the church bells ring every 30 minutes from early morning.
