Peace and Quiet in Paris?

This appeals to me.

I had heard of the Hôtel Gabriel Paris Marais before this weekend’s review in the New York Times, which means someone in their PR office is doing a good job.

Despite the fact that it’s associated with Gwynnie “GOOP” Paltrow, the idea of a quiet sanctuary for €159 seems like a good deal.

The last time I stayed in Paris, the hotel was shaking with the sound of jackhammers in the renovated restaurant downstairs. It took about 30 minutes before I was out of there and on my way to an overpriced last-minute room on Ile St. Louis, which I mostly remember for its Hobbit-sized space and abundance of nearby ice-cream eaters on the street outside.

I’m adding it to the list for the next trip.
