Where to Stay in Paris

Facing the Opéra-Comique

La Maison Favart is at 5 rue de Marivaux, facing the Opéra-Comique on place Boieldieu, in the Vivienne quarter of the 2nd arrondissement. The hotel presents itself as “in the front row” of the opera house and says it draws on the spirit of the Favart couple. Atout France ranked it four stars on 1 July 2022 and counts 39 rooms; the hotel’s own pages give no room count. The street-side façades and roofs of numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 rue de Marivaux were inscribed as historic monuments in 1975.

Spa and family suites

The wellness area sits under vaults and has a “spa pool”, a sauna, a hydro-massage bed and a fitness room. Family suites take two to four guests. A bar, air conditioning, pet policy and accessibility were not confirmed in what we read, so ask about them if they decide the booking.
