Where to Stay in Paris

Between the station and the Seine

Hotel Riesner is at 19 rue d’Austerlitz, in the 12th arrondissement, on the Quinze-Vingts side of the district, between Gare de Lyon and the river. It is one of the nine hotels in our Bercy hotel guide and belongs to no group. Atout France awarded four stars on 13 February 2023, for 38 rooms.

Three stations are within ten minutes: Gare de Lyon (350 m, four minutes) with lines 1 and 14, RER A, RER D and Transilien R; Quai de la Rapée on line 5 (six minutes); and Bastille on lines 1, 5 and 8 (nine minutes).

What the hotel offers

The hotel’s site lists reversible air conditioning in every room, a 24-hour reception, a fitness area called the “Espace Feel good” and a policy accepting animals under 20 kg. It describes the building as accessible to people with reduced mobility, but no adapted room is named in what we read. The interiors are credited to the architect Nicolas Thermed. There is no restaurant or bar in our data, so breakfast and dinner are for the neighbourhood.

Among the other 12th-arrondissement hotels

This list of nine has six four-star hotels. Pullman Paris Centre Bercy, with 392 rooms, is the only one listing a pool. Hôtel Le 209 Paris Bercy is the closest match, with a fitness room, air conditioning, adapted rooms and pets, and adds a bar and family rooms. Hôtel Parisianer and Maison Traversière are also near the station; the Parisianer adds a bar and a garden patio to the same fitness room and air conditioning, the Maison Traversière lists air conditioning only. The Atout France register export of 4 October 2026 shows no five-star hotel in the 12th, so four stars are the top category the district offers.

Median times by public transport from the place Louis-Armand reference point, about 270 metres from the hotel, are 17 minutes to the Louvre (line 1), 16 to Notre-Dame (lines 14 and 4) and 35 to the Eiffel Tower (RER A, B and C).
