LOCATION
In Paris, boulevard Raspail, in the heart of the Montparnasse district and its reminiscences of the Années folles, between brasseries, terraces and cafés that welcomed Picasso, Apollinaire, Foujita or Man Ray a century ago. Ideally located between the Montparnasse and Vavin metros, Hôtel Léopold is just a ten-minute walk from the Luxembourg Gardens, and hardly any further from the Pantheon, the Latin Quarter, and the Montparnasse station.

OVERVIEW
Don’t be surprised if you come across travelers who seem right at home here. Hotel Léopold****, which opened in 2019 and was named after Austrian art collector Rudolph Leopold – a major Egon Schiele collector, incidentally – is home to a large clientele of regulars, who are only too happy to have found an address that goes out of its way to multiply human contact in our digital age. Homemade cakes (marbled, chocolate, and lemon-hazelnut-cinnamon) and flavored water, made available to guests, give a very special flavor to check-in and tea-time, while the closets in the lobby hide disguises and a host of games for children, who are invited to sleep with their parents in family rooms that can accommodate up to 5 people. Perfect for your little tribe! For lovers of Arts and Crafts, the decor, from BR Design, is inspired by the Roaring Twenties, with a mix of William Morris floral motifs. Mirrors on every floor, whimsical headboards, vintage telephones, and retro bathrooms complete the ensemble to create a warm, well-kept atmosphere that puts a smile on your face and makes you want to stay.

ON-SITE

BAR – Pushing the envelope on detail, the bar serves its champagne in goblets (a la Gatsby) rather than flutes. It also features a selection of wines, original cocktails and a small snack menu imported directly from neighboring restaurant Maison Edgar.
TERRASSE – Right in the heart of Paris but on a quiet street, this is the ideal place to enjoy the sunshine and neighborhood ambience.
