Warm Lobby & Dining Room
Set in a 16th-century building in the Marais district of Paris, Hôtel Du Vieux Saule is a five-minute walk from Place de la République. It offers free WiFi and air-conditioned rooms. A flat-screen TV and a telephone are provided in each guest room. Some of the rooms include a mini-bar, so make sure you ask for one if a cold soft drink or water is important to you. Each room has a hairdryer in the bathroom, and all of the rooms are serviced by a elevator. You can enjoy a buffet breakfast every morning in the arched stone cellar at Hôtel Du Vieux Saule. This is a favorite among our Paris writers, especially those who prefer a tub bath to a shower. It provides walkable access to our seminar location, and is a good value for a three-star hotel with no-frills, clean rooms.
Most Convenient to Seminars
Located on a quiet street in the Marais district quite near the location of our salon-style writing seminars, Villa Beaumarchais is 1,476 feet from Carnavalet Museum and a six-minute walk to lovely Place des Vosges, a favorite writing spot for many guests. The hotel's rooms overlook the central patio, and include a mini-bar and satellite flat-screen TV, air-conditioning, and a refined, classic décor. Some feature a seating area. Enjoy a continental breakfast in the hotel's dining room, which features a glass roof, fountains, and trees. Later, guests can relax with a drink from the bar at Villa Beaumarchais. This hotel is a bit more expensive than other choices, but is the shortest walk to the seminar location for 2025.
Bargain Price
Located in the 11th district of Paris, a five-minute walk from the Marais district and Place des Vosges Park, Grand Hôtel Amelot offers a 24-hour reception, concierge service, and luggage storage.

A breakfast is available each morning at Grand Hôtel Amelot. Guests can also dine in restaurants located within walking distance of the property. Free WiFi access is available throughout, and Chemin Vert Metro Station is 787 feet away and offers direct access to the Eiffel Tower and Opéra Garnier. If you want a comfortable, clean room with private bath at a bargain price, this hotel might be your best option.
Live Like a Local
If you want to free your inner-Emily, you may wish to opt for an apartment. There are also dozens of apartments to fit most budgets, which you can rent for the week. Select one within easy walking of our seminar location, and call Leilani at 214-620-7275 if you have questions. Apartments in the Marais (in the third and fourth arrondissements) are available on the Booking.com link below as well as other apartment rental platforms. Also, note whether the apartment you wish to rent has "a lift" -- a European elevator often big enough for just one person. And, note that a "second floor" apartment means three staircases to climb, not two.
