Scene
Charming hotel with an opera-themed motif for sightseeing couples
Hotel Pax Opera is a small and charming property, which opened in 1956 just off busy Rue la Fayette. Common spaces here have opera-themed decor, with details one might find at the famous Opera Garnier down the street -- like a top hat, feathered mask, and strings of pearls housed in a lobby display case. Guests gather in the breakfast room, featuring lilac-colored chairs and large windows to let in natural light. The bar is an elegant and inviting space, with high ceilings, wood floors, and large mirrors, and eye-catching, wine-colored velvet furniture. The Pax Opera draws budget-minded couples here to see the sights.
Location
Close to cafes, bistros, and a metro stop, but most top sights require public transit
Hotel Pax Opera is located in the 9th Arrondissement close to markets, bistros, and cafes. It's also near public transportation, with the Cadet metro station a one-minute walk, and the Cadet bus stop just three minutes on foot. The Belle Époque Folies Bergere cabaret music hall is a two-minute walk from the hotel, but most of the city's top sights are more than a 15-minute walk away. Major department stores and chain stores on Boulevard Haussmann, including Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, are slightly less than a 15-minute stroll. - 16-minute walk to Opera Garnier
Rooms
Modern and stylish, with punches of vibrant color plus AC, flat-screen TVs, and kettles
Guest rooms at Hotel Pax Opera have an energetic, contemporary look. Decor is mostly neutral, but spaces are spiced up with vibrant accents in hues like violet and electric-green. Each room also has an abstract painting made by the hotel’s owner. Units are well-maintained and have double glazed windows, and all come equipped with AC, flat-screen TVs with English-speaking channels, electric kettles, one free bottle of water per guest at check-in, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have double beds that are two singles pushed together. Bathrooms are less attractive and basic, but tidy, with shower/tub combos and removable rainfall showerheads, hairdryers, and toiletries. Units range from 118 to 215 square feet, which isn't excessively small by Paris standards.
