Hotel du Theatre is a three-pearl boutique hotel in the largely residential 17th arrondissement, about a 10-minute walk from the lovely Parc Monceau. Named for the Hebertot Theatre across the street, the 20-room Hotel du Theatre is housed in a 19th-century cream-colored Haussmann building, and has a cozy lobby with vintage Chesterfield couches and plenty of theatrical props. Breakfast, with pastry made by an in-house baker, is free for guests who book directly with the hotel. Rooms, which are not air-conditioned, are small, and with their striped wallpaper and swirled-floral carpeting, look a bit old-fashioned, even though they were renovated in 2015. Bathrooms, though, are sleek and modern. For a hotel with a charming garden in the same neighborhood, guests might want to compare rates at the Logis Jardin De Villiers.

Scene
A bit of calm in a quiet neighborhood
The Hebertot Theatre sits across the street, and that's where the Hotel du Theatre gets its name and inspiration. Its quaint lobby features leather vintage Chesterfield sofas, dressmaker dummies in scarlet costumes, and walls papered in a silhouette theater motif. There are also shelves of books that guests can borrow, a table with coffee and tea, and an oak reception desk. Breakfast is served in a charming, albeit tiny, stone-vaulted cave. Located off the main tourist track, the hotel has a local vibe, with supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, and bakeries nearby. It attracts mainly couples, families, and a few business travelers, who can make use the modest conference and meeting room. For art buffs, the hotel was the former home of Andre Breton, the original Dadaist who founded Surrealism.
Location
In the residential 17th arrondissement and close to two metro stations
The hotel is located on the quiet Rue de Cheroy in a residential neighborhood with many restaurants and shops -- it's a six-minute walk to the lively market on the Rue de Levis. The metro station Rome is a three-minute walk from the hotel, while the Villiers station is a four-minute walk in the opposite direction. It's not an area of major tourist sights, but the beautiful Parc Monceau is within a 10-minute walk, and the historic Montmartre area is four metro stops away (get out at Anvers, or switch at Pigalle and get out at Abbesses). The Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysees are an 18-minute metro ride, while the Opera and major department stores such as Galeries Lafayette are a 13-minute metro ride. Charles de Gaulle Airport is about a 30-minute drive, depending on traffic.
Rooms
Small but well-maintained rooms with traditional decor
Rooms at the Hotel du Theatre are small -- bedside tables in the Twin Rooms are wedged between the wall and mattress, yet their style, which some might find old-fashioned, evokes historic Paris. The wallpaper is pretty, with cream, peach, and deep-red stripes. The carpet has a red-patterned floral design. A built-in desk (with chair) is tiny, but the wood is a warm, honey color. All rooms have flat-screen TVs and safes but no tea- or coffee-making facilities, and face either the street or a tiny courtyard. Some have Juliet balconies. Bathrooms are small but sleek and modern, with buff- or chocolate-colored tiles, white porcelain fixtures, and polished chrome fittings. Stall showers and tubs are enclosed by glass partitions, giving them a streamlined look. Toiletries and hairdryers are provided.
