A tribute to Beaumarchais
The hotel stands at no. 12 rue Vieille-du-Temple, on the lower stretch of the street between rue de Rivoli and rue du Roi-de-Sicile. Its name and decor honour Caron de Beaumarchais, the author of The Marriage of Figaro, who lived further up the same street: from 1776 he rented the hôtel Amelot de Bisseuil at no. 47, where he wrote the play.
The building itself has no heritage listing that we know of; the 18th century here is a deliberate decor. The salon gathers a piano-forte of 1792, a Louis XV harp, a period statue and a games table. Atout France, the national agency that grants hotel stars, classified the house three stars on 28 February 2022, for nineteen rooms. It is independent, with no group or chain.
Rooms for two
All nineteen rooms are designed for one or two guests; there are no suites, triples or communicating rooms. Six of them, on the rue Vieille-du-Temple side, have a balcony. The hotel is air-conditioned and has a lift.
Breakfast is the only meal. Pets are not accepted, and there is no room adapted for guests in wheelchairs: the hotel offers the lift and help from its staff instead.
Rue Vieille-du-Temple and the Pletzl
Rue des Rosiers, at the centre of the old Jewish quarter, and the Mémorial de la Shoah, free and closed on Saturdays, are both three minutes away. The whole sector lies within the Marais international tourist zone, where shops may open on Sundays; rue des Rosiers itself turns pedestrian that day. LGBT+ bars and restaurants cluster around rue Vieille-du-Temple and rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie. The BHV department store is four minutes away; the Archives nationales and the Musée Cognacq-Jay are six.
This corner is dense with hotels. Hôtel de Nice, another three-star of 23 rooms, is one minute away on rue de Rivoli and, unlike the Caron de Beaumarchais, has triples and accepts pets. Hôtel Bourg Tibourg, a four-star decorated by Jacques Garcia, is two minutes away.
