Hotel Henriette, Paris

9 Rue des Gobelins, 75013 Paris, France (show on map)

Hotel Henriette is a charming boutique hotel on a quiet, cobblestone street in Paris’s 13th arrondissement. Formerly known as the Hotel Résidence les Gobelins, it was transformed into a stylish retreat by former fashion editor Vanessa Scoffier. Her “vintage, bohème, and très DIY” design approach gives the property the feel of a soulful country house rather than a typical city hotel.

Each of the 32 guest rooms is individually decorated, featuring a unique mix of 1950s Danish furniture, flea-market finds, and creative decor. Scoffier masterfully used paint, plywood, and reclaimed materials to create high-end style on a budget. You’ll find quirky, heartwarming touches like headboards made from salvaged doors or vintage leather gym mats, making every stay feel like a discovery.

A major highlight is the cozy winter garden and the flower-filled patio, which serve as a serene sanctuary from the bustling city. It’s an incredibly inviting space where you can enjoy breakfast or a quiet moment with a book. The hotel also offers a personalized city concierge service to help guests navigate Paris like locals.

Its location near the lively Mouffetard district and the Latin Quarter puts you in the heart of classic Parisian life. You are just a short walk from the Jardin des Plantes, one of the city’s most beautiful botanical gardens, and well-connected by nearby metro stations to iconic landmarks like the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. It is a perfect, intimate base for exploring the Left Bank.

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Interior designer Vanessa Scoffier scoured Paris’ flea markets for over a year sourcing unique pieces, such as Platner chairs and 1950s lighting, to give each of these 32 rooms a one-of-a-kind twist.”

Telegraph review:

“This pretty little boutique hotel makes a cosy and romantic base for a city break in Paris, with some of the bohemian Left Bank’s most charming attractions a short walk away. Expect a relaxed atmosphere and excellent design credentials.”

What a nice stay!

I stayed in Hotel Henriette one night in a single room. The room was exactly as it was shown in booking website, so no bad surprise. The room was clean, big enough for one person which is hard to find in Paris, I could open 2 of my luggage in the room easily. Staff was very friendly and helpful. always welcoming with smile. Breakfast had many options and tasty. The location is convenient, walking distance to some touristic areas and good restaurants. I would definitely stay in the Hotel Henriette again.

It was very pleasant stay in Hotel Henriette, nothing negative...

A dream come true.

I loved everything about Hotel Henriette. When I was searching for a boutique hotel, Henriette was everything I had hoped for. A traveler wanting to immerse themselves in a Parisian community away from tourist mobs but close enough to attractions, then this is the place.

I found everything to be excellent accept maybe having fitted sheets on the bed and a light blanket to use instead of the heavier duvet. The duvet is nice for colder weather.

Beautiful hotel, polite staff, great location.

Breakfast was lovely, the room was cute, aircon great, lovely bathroom, comfy and the staff were all really polite and helpful. Thank you for speaking English, you were excellent!

The bathroom had a window. It didn't really matter, but if it were removed/filled, it would feel extra-private.

Excellent and recommended

Great location with a classic view of Paris from the room; beautiful internal design; comfortable and clean. The bonus is that the hotel has a good list of restaurants nearby and gives you a cute bag as a gift. The restaurant inside the hotel looks very nice. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try it. It also has an elevator. Staff were super friendly and helpful, giving sightseeing advice in fluent English.

The full-length mirror was placed in an awkward place, making it difficult to use.

The hotel was just as the pictures showed. Each area was designed with an eye for beauty and comfort. The room was wonderful, the courtyard adorable, and the staff were extremely helpful and kind.

Just how a Parisian hotel for two should be.

Really cool ambience, located in a typical Parisian street just meters away from a subway station. The receptionist recommended the most unbelievable Bistrot Gourmande and the breakfast was an absolute treat. Will come back and recommend

Comfortable and friendly retreat in the heart of the rive gauche

Small, friendly; given a room upgrade - much appreciated. Liked the list of recommended eating places nearby.

A suggestion: bedside tables with huge stylish/quirky slits in them made us nervous about losing something through the gaps!

Very comfortable with thoughtful features in a great part of Paris.

Was exactly what you expect from a Parisian hotel. Quirky features, small but thoughtful details. Location was great - felt more ‘local’ than other areas we’ve stayed.

Only issue was the car we booked to head to Gare de l’Est at the end of our stay. We asked for a van as we had 4 large bags. A small taxi turned up and expected us to use it. We ended up organising a van directly with Uber, but it did make us later to the station than we wanted to be. Suspect this was more about the taxi than the hotel.

Fabulous

Located on a quiet street in the 13th arrondissement, the Henriette is a homey refuge in the city. Close to the Les Gobelins metro and a short walk to the wonderful food vendors and street market on the Rue Mouffetard. The rooms are on the smaller side, as is the lift, but there is a whole vibrant city to explore and the common spaces, like the garden and lounge, are lovely places to read a book or work. But it is the thoughtful details, warm hospitality, and friendly staff at the Henriette that made the stay feel more like visiting friends. There was a list of recommended local restaurants and bars, a note welcoming you to the city, and even an Olympic kit with a complementary tote bag and water bottle.

A good base from which to explore Paris.

Modern, friendly and relaxed. Away from the tourist areas a little bit so not as busy, but still a short metro journey to get to most of the attractions.

The rooms were very comfortable, the breakfast room was beautiful and breakfast was delicious. All of the staff were kind and considerate, and the location had a real neighbourhood feel to it.

The only critique was the window of the room on the sixth floor was difficult to open and close and only appeared to open wide (rather than having the option to open a bit).

A great place to stay while visiting Paris.

Hotel is located in a great location. It is very close to 2 Metro stations. Front desk staff were very nice and friendly. There are many restaurants nearby. Our room was fine. We thought the breakfast was very good, too.

There was a odd odor in the hallway.
