Hôtel Dupond-Smith, 2 rue des Guillemites: five stars since 2024, 8 rooms named after pen names, in-room treatments, dogs welcome, no restaurant. Checked October 2026.
Rue des Guillemites
Hôtel Dupond-Smith is at 2 rue des Guillemites, in the 4th arrondissement. The street lies north of rue des Blancs-Manteaux, close to rue Vieille-du-Temple and rue des Francs-Bourgeois. Our listing places it with the rue des Rosiers area, although it is a borderline case. The Marais has no metro station on the doorstep here: Saint-Paul (line 1) and Hôtel de Ville (lines 1 and 11) are both about seven minutes on foot, and Rambuteau (line 11) is the same.
Atout France, the national agency that classifies hotels, gave it five stars on 23 December 2024, for 8 rooms. It is independent, according to its legal notice, with no chain or collection attached.
Rooms and services
The hotel’s declared concept is anonymity. Each room or suite is named after a well-known pseudonym, among them L’Estrange, Mérimée’s alias, Balzac’s anagram from his youth, and Saint-John Perse. The architecture and decoration are by Anne Peyroux and Emmanuèle Thisy. Several rooms and suites open onto a private balcony or terrace, over the roofs or a courtyard.
What the hotel leaves out is as clear as what it offers. There is no restaurant; breakfast is served all day, room service is available and rooms carry a selection of champagnes. Treatments and massages are in the room only, and no pool or spa room is listed. Air conditioning is listed, as are rooms adapted to guests with reduced mobility, and dogs are welcome. The hotel has no car park; the public Indigo Lobau-Rivoli car park, unconnected to it, is about 400 metres away.
