Monge
Refined Left Bank mansion: bookish, literary, velvet-and-marble atmosphere with a genuine sense of place. Not flashy. Quietly confident.
Book a Superior Double for rooftop or Arènes de Lutèce views — the same size as Classic but far better outlook
Why It Matters
One of the few Paris boutiques where the interior design tells a coherent story — Deyrolle wallpapers, Pierre Frey velvet, and a free guest hammam in a building that has hosted Left Bank artists since 1876. Curated by Tablet Hotels and part of the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection.
A 1876 Left Bank mansion turned 30-room boutique, Hotel Monge sits in the heart of the 5th arrondissement between the Panthéon and the Jardin des Plantes. The building spent decades as the private residence of a family deeply connected to Paris's artistic Left Bank scene — and that DNA still shows. Interiors by designers Marie-Agnès Louboutin and Patrice Henry kept the bones: Hungarian point parquet floors, moulded ceilings, working Carrara marble fireplaces. Then they layered in Pierre Frey velvet, Deyrolle tropical-print wallpapers, and fibre optic lighting. Rooms run small (15–20m²), as is typical for central Paris, but are elegantly considered. The hotel leans into its mansion heritage with a tea salon, a self-serve honesty bar stocked with Veuve Cliquot, and a private eucalyptus hammam that's free for guests.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Classic Double Room
The entry-level room at Monge and, yes, 15m² is snug. But the design work justifies itself: velvet fabrics, tropical-print Deyrolle wallpaper, fibre optic lighting, and L'Occitane toiletries in the Italian shower. Triple-glazed windows keep street noise out. Free minibar included.
King size · 15 sqm
Deluxe Double Room
The Deluxe category gets you the street-facing view down Rue Monge and a bit more breathing room. Two rooms are fully accessible for guests with reduced mobility. These rooms have either an Italian shower or a bath, robes and slippers are included, and the Deyrolle wallpapers are particularly well-chosen here.
Double · 18 sqmDeluxe Triple Room
The largest room in the hotel at 20m² — still compact by most standards, but the best option for a family of three or a group. Furnished with a large double bed and a chaise longue/single. The Deyrolle 'perroquets' (parrots) wallpaper here is particularly striking. Rue Monge views throughout.
One large double bed and one single bed · 20 sqmDeluxe Twin Room
The twin-bed version of the Deluxe Double. Same Rue Monge views and upgraded size. Italian shower or bath, robes and slippers, and the full L'Occitane kit.
Two twin beds · 18 sqmSuperior Double Room
One step up from Classic, and worth it for the views. Some Superior rooms look out over the Parisian rooftops; others face the ancient Roman Arènes de Lutèce amphitheatre — one of the more unexpected hotel views in Paris. Same refined décor with velvet and Deyrolle wallpaper.
Double · 16 sqmSuperior Twin Room
Same footprint and spec as the Superior Double, but configured with two twin beds. Good for travelling friends or families with older children. Some rooms have rooftop or Arènes de Lutèce views.
