Hôtel Les Tournelles

Rue de Turenne, south end

The Hôtel Les Tournelles is at 30 rue de Turenne, in the 3rd arrondissement, at the southern end of the street. Atout France classed it three stars on 26 November 2021, for 24 rooms. It is an independent house, with no chain named on its legal page.

The quarter belongs to the administrative Archives district, but the hotel’s own pitch is the place des Vosges, which it places a short step away. Our data bears that out: the square is about 250 metres on foot (three minutes), and the Musée Carnavalet 150 metres. The Musée Picasso is about 450 metres on foot, six minutes.

Lounge, cellar and rooms

The hotel is built around two shared rooms. A salon-library holds a tablet, newspapers and magazines and an honesty bar, which guests can use at any time of day. Breakfast is served in a vaulted cellar with exposed stone, and the hotel offers a romance package of champagne and macarons in the room.

The rooms are air-conditioned and heated, and the hotel holds the Valpas certification against bedbugs. What is not mentioned: no restaurant, spa, pool, gym, terrace or car park. A baby cot is free but only on request. The hotel’s pages carry an access line for guests with reduced mobility without naming an adapted room, so confirm that before booking.
