Grand Pigalle Hotel ★★★★
A breath of fresh air, a bright new presence, a great location! Grand Pigalle Hotel is a cosmopolitan boutique hotel that combines a carefree spirit with the cultivated and the comfortable. Located in the 9th district’ s lively SoPi( South Pigalle,“ the new heart of Paris”), it’ s named for sculptor Jean- Baptiste Pigalle. Chic rooms feature earth tones and a mid-century vibe that leaves nostalgia behind. There’ s an Italian accent within the restaurant, the Wine & Dine by Giovanni Passerini, of the new generation of Parisian chefs who creates a refined Italian cuisine and a selection of over 300 Italian wines with no equal in Paris. The nearest metro station is just a minute walk away, convenient for exploring the rest of Paris for those who can tear themselves away from SoPi! All guests are treated to a welcome drink on arrival. page 92 | www. jdbhotels. com
