HOTEL RESIDENCE HENRI IV, PARIS

The Résidence Henri IV qualifies as a Memorable Hotel mainly because it is so ideally suited to families. The larger superior rooms at this hotel are equipped with a tiny kitchenette – a godsend for parents with children. The little hob is handy for warming an infant’s bottle, the fridge will chill the kids’ Orangina (and the bottle of Chablis for when they eventually sleep) and the microwave is handy for a quick snack between sight-seeing visits. All this comes at an affordable price if the accommodations are occupied to capacity (max 3 or 4).

But RH4 also has a first-rate location. Tucked away at the end of a short cul-de-sac off the Rue des Ecoles, the absence of through traffic noise goes a long way to compensate for the lack of air-conditioning. You’re at the eastern end of what is popularly known as the Latin Quarter but still within walking distance of its lively heart. Remember to do your food shopping at the street market in the narrow Rue Mouffetard – it’s about as Parisian as they come.

The décor is entirely appropriate for a tall 19th century town house, whose façade is bedecked with little flowery balconies. Elegant without being luxurious, the hotel may have a few shortcomings but these are soon remedied by the friendly staff. RH4 is a very useful address in the city.
