Less than a 15-minute walk from Gare du Nord's Eurostar terminal, the hotel is in the heart of the up-and-coming 10th arrondissement. Tucked down a side street off a busy road, it's seven minutes to the République metro stop and less than ten to the bars and bakeries of Canal St-Martin. You're within striking distance of some excellent cocktail and wine bars as well as bistro Les Rupins, with its daily changing menu and excellent steak-frites.
By plane: flights from London or Manchester to Paris Charles de Gaulle take 1 hour 15 minutes and the hotel is 40 minutes' drive away. Book flights to Paris.
By train: Eurostar from London to Paris Gare du Nord takes 2 hours 20 minutes and the hotel is 15 minutes' walk away. Book trains to Paris Gare du Nord.
Le Grand Quartier's most striking feature is its large central courtyard. There's also a rooftop terrace which is a real asset in summer months. The building itself is a former office block - but a decidedly elegant one, with large windows and a parquet floor. Communal spaces are uniformly stylish, with clean lines offset by industrial lighting and mid-century furniture.
Service is informal but friendly. Check-in is at self-service digital desks, but there's always someone on hand to provide analogue assistance. Communal spaces invite languorous meals - especially the courtyard tables, for outside dining - but there's also a small gym in the basement and weekend yoga classes.

The café-bar is the hotel's social hub, and the space evolves throughout the day. Breakfast is a countertop offer of homemade granola, fresh fruit and daily-delivered croissants, plus savoury dishes made to order. Lunch options in Quartier are good, especially the traditional French fish dishes - but it's worth knowing that the restaurant is only open for lunch Monday to Friday.
