Star
"An elegant hotel, dating back to the late nineteenth century, with faux marble columns in the reception area and airy, high-ceilinged rooms."
Fodor's
"A few of Paris' most prestigious palace hotels face the Tuileries... while the Brighton sits on the same prime real estate... it offers visitors a privileged stay for a fraction of the price."

"Andersen, named after Danish tale teller Hans Christian, is under the eaves on the sixth floor and has gorgeous city views, including a perfect snapshot of the Eiffel Tower."
Travel + Leisure
"Paris’s 2010-opened Pavillon des Lettres... pays homage to Voltaire himself, along with 25 other writers who were the inspiration for this chic hotel on a quiet street in the Eighth Arrondissement."

Time Out
"Across the river from the historic literary hub of the Left Bank, the Pavillon des Lettres welcomes Moleskine-carrying travellers on a quiet street, secluded from the nearby Champs-Elysées."

The hotel offers three room categories, but be sure to ask for one facing the Eiffel Tower for an exceptional view from your balcony, where you have more elbow room to pen some of your finest work.
Star Service
"This is an interesting choice, especially for the literary- minded, and its chic retro-1920s and limited public facilities blend nicely in a much-prized location."

Gayot
"Paris ranks among the world's top literary cities, which makes us wonder: why aren't there more hotels like this one in The City of Light?"
