Scene
Chic, modern, boutique hotel beyond tourist center
The Max Hotel is a chic, modern, boutique property that underwent a complete renovation in May 2014. Situated in a plain, three-story building with a flat white facade and matching shutters, the hotel is more remarkable on the inside. The chic lobby doubles as a breakfast room, small bar, and lounge, and looks like a sleek cafe -- well lit, with wooden floors, wooden cafe tables, gray chairs, silver pendant lights, and stylish shelves that offer a variety of reading material like books, newspapers, and magazines. Black accent walls and modern wall art offer just the right amount of flair, while a center kitchen area features a small fireplace, a Nespresso coffeemaker, and a selection of teas. Just a three-minute walk from the metro, the competitively priced hotel attracts budget travelers who don't mind staying outside of the city center and guests who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of a central Paris property.
