When choosing a hotel in Paris, people often look at its location, its category or its facilities.

Yet it’s rarely these things that stay with you the longest after your stay.

It’s often the little details. A street that’s quieter than expected. A spot where you can read a few pages after a day of sightseeing. Staff who take the time to answer a question. A neighbourhood you look forward to returning to in the evening.

These little things aren’t always mentioned in the descriptions, but they often contribute to the quality of your stay.

Here are just a few of the details that make all the difference during a stay at the Relais Montmartre.

Staying on a quiet street in the heart of Montmartre

Montmartre is one of the most visited neighbourhoods in Paris.

You might therefore expect to be staying in a bustling environment from morning to night.

However, the Relais Montmartre is situated on Rue Constance, a street that remains relatively untouched by the hustle and bustle found around the main tourist attractions.

This location allows you to make the most of the neighbourhood whilst enjoying a quieter setting as the day draws to a close.

After spending several hours exploring Paris, this contrast is often appreciated.

You can soak up the energy of Montmartre without feeling as though you’re constantly in the middle of a crowd.

Being able to do everything on foot

One of the pleasures of a stay in Montmartre is how easy it is to explore the neighbourhood.

From the hotel, it takes just a few minutes to reach Rue Lepic, Les Abbesses, the Moulin Rouge or even the top of the hill.

This proximity means shorter journeys and more time to enjoy the neighbourhood.

You can easily pop out for a coffee, go for a stroll with no particular plan, or pop back to the hotel for a short while before setting off again to explore another part of Paris.

As your stay goes on, this freedom often changes the way you explore the capital.

Enjoy a patio sheltered from the hustle and bustle of Paris

Paris is a vibrant city.

But after a day of sightseeing, it’s sometimes nice to find a place where you can slow the pace down a little.

The patio at the Relais Montmartre offers just that.

Set apart from the hustle and bustle of the neighbouring streets, it’s the perfect spot to take a break with a drink, plan the rest of your day or simply enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet.

This sort of space is often particularly welcome on sunny days, when you fancy getting some fresh air without leaving the hotel.

It may be just a small detail, but it’s often the sort of place you’re glad to return to after a busy day.

Taking time to unwind

During a stay in Paris, the days are often packed.

Between sightseeing, restaurants, museums and getting around, it can sometimes be difficult to give yourself a proper break.

The library available at the hotel is the perfect place to slow things down a little.

It features a selection of novels, guidebooks on Paris and board games.

Whether you’re planning the next day’s itinerary, flicking through a book or simply enjoying a quieter moment, this space adds to the hotel’s friendly atmosphere.

Rediscovering a more intimate atmosphere

In Paris, many hotels welcome large numbers of travellers every day.

The Relais Montmartre has opted for a more intimate setting.

This more personal scale often helps to create a different atmosphere.

Interactions are more relaxed, the atmosphere more laid-back and the stay more personalised.

Whilst not spectacular, this aspect plays a major part in the comfort you’ll experience during your few days in the capital.

This is also what many travellers are looking for when they choose a neighbourhood hotel rather than a large establishment.

Waking up in the heart of a lively neighbourhood

Staying in Montmartre also means enjoying a neighbourhood that’s bustling all year round.

In the morning, the bakeries open their doors, the outdoor cafés set up, and the locals go about their day.

This neighbourhood atmosphere adds to the charm of your stay.

Even when you’re visiting to explore Paris’s major monuments, it’s lovely to return in the evening to a more local and authentic atmosphere.

Montmartre offers precisely this balance between a tourist district and a genuine neighbourhood.

The details you remember most

We sometimes quickly forget the exact size of a room or the full list of facilities available.

On the other hand, we often remember the atmosphere of a neighbourhood, the peace and quiet found after a day of sightseeing, or a moment spent in a pleasant spot.

It’s these little details that can sometimes turn a simple place to stay into a truly memorable travel experience.

At the Relais Montmartre, they help to create a more personal experience, in the heart of one of Paris’s most iconic neighbourhoods.
