Tucked between Pigalle, Saint-Georges and South Montmartre, Hôtel Amour is one of those Paris hotels that feels inseparable from its neighbourhood. Behind the discreet façade, the mood is creative and slightly bohemian, with vintage furniture, contemporary art, artist-designed rooms and a leafy courtyard restaurant that has become part of the local scene. The stay is shaped as much by the restaurant and social atmosphere as by the rooms themselves. There are no televisions, phones or air conditioning in the rooms, which gives the hotel a deliberately old-school, lived-in feeling, better suited to travellers who want character and atmosphere over polished hotel comforts.
