Location Near Landmarks

It is 3.5 km from Châtelet-Les Halles RER and 15 km from Orly Airport. Nearby landmarks include the National Museum of Natural History (1 km), Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris (2 km), and Musee d'Orsay (3.5 km).

Area Around Hotel

The hotel is near the Italie 2 Mall, offering shops such as Fnac, Darty, and Zara. It is near the Latin Quarter and rue Mouffetard. The area hosts authors and publishing houses, including La Découverte and Flammarion. The Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, known for jazz, hosts a jazz festival annually.

“Hotel Des Ecrivains enjoys a literary theme and proximity to the Place d'Italie metro; its calm setting and multilingual staff stand out, although I noted a concerning mention of bedbugs in a past review. The location near the National Museum of Histories of Immigrations enhances its appeal, but the hotel's response to potential infestations is a valid concern, in my opinion. For a balanced experience, future guests should weigh the cultural charm against addressing any issues proactively.”
