If Gothic is your thing, this is it.

Adjacent to the Eglise Saint-Merry, a stay at the hotel is like stepping back into the Middle Ages, complete with period decoration, great stonework and wooden beams. If you are booking a room on the 4th floor, be advised that there is no elevator here, but there is plenty of atmosphere.
