Pavillon Bastille is opposite to Opera Bastille, close to the Marais area, a charming privately owned mansion with its flower courtyard in the latest fashionable area of Paris. The innovative interior design by J.P. Heim brought the Pavillon Bastille Hotel the Restaurant Design International Excellence Award. A young and dynamic staff provides a definite personal service. This is a bold, brassy, innovative hotel in a 1991 town house across from the Opera Bastille and a block south of place de la Bastille. A 17th century fountain graces the courtyard between the hotel and the street. The guest rooms have twin or double beds, partially mirrored walls, and contemporary built-in furniture. If you are looking for a bargain, note that the cheapest rooms have the same size and configuration as the more expensive rooms.
