Villa Royale Hotel Paris travel guide

Location. The lavish Villa Royale hotel is located in Paris, France, amid the chic nightspots of the city's artistic Pigalle district, three blocks from the Moulin Rouge. The Sacre Coeur and the Dali Museum are both within 800 metres, while the Champs Elysees and the Louvre are two-and-a-half kilometres away.

Hotel Features. Exuding a neo-baroque glamour, the boutique-style Villa Royale hotel has been the backdrop for numerous magazine fashion shoots. The 24-hour front desk offers a range of concierge services, such as in-room manicures, hairdressing, massage and butler services (surcharge).

Guests can enjoy a continental breakfast (surcharge) in their guestroom or the hotel's dining room. There is no restaurant at the Villa Royale hotel, but the surrounding area is filled with dining options and reception can provide recommendations.

The hotel has small reception rooms for entertaining or meetings. Wireless Internet access is available in public areas. Complimentary newspapers are provided in the lobby.

Guestrooms. The Villa Royale hotel's 31 boudoir-styled guestrooms are furnished with rich fabrics, in either glitzy jewel or pastel colour schemes. Rooms are named after famous people and feature views of Place Pigalle. Rooms have air conditioning, cable television, dial-up Internet access, minibars and safes. Marble bathrooms have telephones and bathrobes.

Expert Tip. Hotel staff can provide information on Paris attractions, especially bits of Pigalle that are off the beaten track. While Sacre Coeur and Montmartre are awash with tourists, the locals flock to the lesser known streets between Pigalle and Abbesses, which are filled with eclectic boutiques and charming cafés and restaurants.
