Stay in a boutique hotel in the heart of the Left Bank
The Best Western Plus La Demeure is a 4-star boutique hotel situated on Boulevard Saint-Marcel, on Paris’s Left Bank. Housed in a Haussmann-style building, it combines Parisian architecture, 42 recently refurbished rooms, four distinct décor themes and an intimate atmosphere. From the upper floors, some rooms also offer views over Paris and the dome of the Panthéon.
La Demeure’s character is evident right from the façade. A turret beneath the roof, a wrought-iron canopy, large windows and long balconies evoke the hallmarks of Parisian architecture. Inside, the lines become more contemporary and colours take centre stage.
DISCOVER LA DEMEURE
Why choose a boutique hotel on the Left Bank?
Choosing a Left Bank hotel in Paris also means choosing a particular vision of the capital. Culture, architecture and neighbourhood life have long shaped the identity of this part of Paris. To extend this experience into your accommodation, the character of the hotel is just as important as its location.
La Demeure fits perfectly into this spirit. Its Haussmann-style architecture retains the hallmarks of classic Paris, whilst its interior design offers a much more contemporary interpretation. With just 42 rooms, the hotel also maintains an intimate, personal atmosphere. After a day out in Paris, you’ll find a more intimate and personalised setting.
Here, the charm does not lie in a static décor. It arises from the interplay between the building’s heritage and a modern vision of hospitality.
Haussmannian architecture that gives La Demeure its character
Even before you step through the door, the hotel already tells part of its story.
A quintessentially Parisian façade
The Haussmann-style façade immediately sets the tone. Its turret beneath the roof, wrought-iron canopy, large windows and long balconies create a distinctive silhouette. These features ensure that La Demeure is an integral part of the architectural landscape of Boulevard Saint-Marcel. So you’re not just staying in a Parisian hotel; the building itself is part of the experience.
Large windows opening out onto the city
Some rooms feature a balcony and generous windows that let light flood into the interior spaces. A particularly welcome touch when you want to stay connected to Paris right from the comfort of your room.
Draw back the curtains: the city immediately takes centre stage!
Views of Paris and the Panthéon
On the upper floors, certain room layouts offer views of Paris. The dome of the Panthéon is particularly visible from certain vantage points.
Whilst not all rooms offer these views, they do add an extra dimension to certain room categories and layouts.
It’s a way of extending the Parisian atmosphere without leaving the comfort of your room.
How does La Demeure reinterpret the Parisian hotel?
As soon as you step through the door, the décor changes. The Haussmann-style façade gives way to a contemporary atmosphere. The spaces play more freely with colours, materials and light. La Demeure does not, therefore, seek to replicate a period Parisian interior; instead, it prefers to create a dialogue between its architecture and contemporary décor.
42 refurbished rooms, four decorative themes
The rooms are organised around four themes: white, yellow, blue and pastel shades. This colour palette helps to avoid the impression of a standardised hotel and gives each space its own distinct character.
The Classic, Superior, Triple and Junior Suite categories also allow guests to tailor their stay to their specific needs. Whichever theme is chosen, a common thread remains: creating a warm and welcoming space where guests can find peace and tranquillity.

Colours, materials and contemporary details
The décor plays on contrasts; in some rooms, Art Deco inspiration meets velvet, wood and more contemporary elements. The materials add depth without weighing down the overall look. This attention to detail reinforces the hotel’s identity.
At La Demeure, the character of the place is revealed gradually, through the colours, materials and light.
What sets the hotel on the Left Bank apart?
La Demeure on Paris’s Left Bank generally stands out for its intimate scale, its distinctive decorative style and a more personalised atmosphere.
The hotel’s 4-star services
You’ll find the services of a 4-star hotel in a setting that retains the spirit of a Parisian home. Attentive reception staff, a wellness area with a sauna and massage room, and a 24-hour gym: every service contributes to the comfort of your stay without ever detracting from the venue’s intimate atmosphere. Breakfast and a co-working space round off this offering, designed to suit both leisure stays and business trips. This commitment to comfort goes hand in hand with a dedication to more sustainable tourism, recognised by the Clef Verte label.
The green patio: an unexpected feature of La Demeure
The hotel’s character is also evident in its communal areas. The breakfast room opens onto a small green patio. This touch of greenery provides a breath of fresh air at the heart of the hotel. The interior décor holds another surprise: hand-painted De Gournay wallpaper depicting a Brazilian jungle teeming with parrots and birds of paradise.
The contrast with the Haussmann-style façade is deliberate. Outside, Parisian architectural conventions; inside, a much more unexpected botanical world.
This decorative freedom contributes fully to the charm of La Demeure.

An intimate hotel in Paris where you can reconnect with your own rhythm
A hotel’s character isn’t measured solely by its décor; the atmosphere matters too. With its 42 rooms, La Demeure retains a scale that lends itself to a more intimate atmosphere. You’ll find your bearings easily during your stay.
For couples, this setting is the perfect backdrop for a romantic Parisian getaway. For a city break, it allows you to extend the capital’s charm right into your accommodation. Business travellers can also appreciate this more cosy atmosphere after a day of meetings.
La Demeure is therefore ideal for travellers seeking a place with character, rather than a standardised room.
Staying on the Left Bank in Paris
Paris’s Left Bank has an identity that naturally complements that of La Demeure. The Latin Quarter extends its cultural and historical world. The Gobelins district offers a more intimate atmosphere. The 13th arrondissement then reveals a more contemporary side of Paris. This diversity allows you to discover several different atmospheres from a single location.
