Boutique Stay in Paris: Hotel Bourg Tibourg
Tucked into a quiet side street in the ever popular neighborhood of the Marais lies the Hotel Bourg Tibourg. Upon entering, you are transported to another time. The hotel’s interior decor is a beautifully balanced combination of design schemes throughout the eras—from Neo-Gothic and Orientalist to Baroque and beyond, every detail has been carefully crafted to create an enchanting atmosphere. Once you’ve had a moment to take in your surroundings, you’ll be shown to your room by a member of the most gracious and friendly staff. You’ll never enter or exit the hotel without being acknowledged and kindly greeted.
The guest rooms themselves, like many in the heart of Paris, are tiny. Walls decorated with a mix of patterns, bold curtains, colorful carpeting, and fringed lighting make each room a remarkable retreat. The windows open to a Juliet balcony that makes the room feel the slightest bit more spacious. To your surprise, you’ll find that the bathtub is enormous in comparison to the room’s other features.
Breakfast is served in the delightfully cavernous basement level. Enjoy freshly baked croissants and breads, yogurt, omelets, juice and coffee under chandeliers and tapestries. The gentleman serving breakfast remembered our order as well as our room number by the second morning of our stay.
In the center of the building, diamond glass doors open to an intimate garden courtyard where, plants around you and sky above, you can sip a glass of wine or read a book, and be yet again transported.
