Rooms, bar and services

Beyond the bar they list air conditioning, a lift, indoor parking on reservation, a shuttle, a meeting room that can double as coworking space, and childcare with a supplement. Massages are offered with a partner and the fitness room is charged as an extra. The room list includes superior triple rooms; no four-person room is shown.

This list holds nine hotels for the Bastille and Oberkampf quartier. Among the four classified four-star, Hôtel Fabric lists a fitness room and a bar, Hôtel L’Antoine a fitness room, Hôtel Ginette à la Folie a spa and a rooftop terrace, and Les Deux Girafes the combination of a garden patio and parking. At 34 rooms it is about the same size as Hôtel Fabric (33) and smaller than Ginette (46). Hôtel Exquis, a three-star on rue de Charonne about 1.2 km away, has a surrealist décor by the artist Julie Gauthron, according to the hotel.
