| -ARTUSHOTEL- JUST A FEW STEPS FROM THE DE SEINE STREET
MARKET IN THE MIDST OF THE LATIN QUARTER - BUILT BEGINNING
OF THE 20TH CENTURY AND RENOVATED IN 1989 AND 1999- IT IS
ONE OF THE MOST INVITING HOTELS IN PARIS. ITS LOBBY AND
INTIMATE BASEMENT BREAKFAST ROOM ARE CHARACTERIZED BY AN
UNASSUMING- BUT CAREFULLY THOUGHT-OUT DESIGN- WHICH EVOKES
AN OH-SO DESIRABLE FEELING OF WELL-BEING. EACH ROOM BOASTS
A UNIQUE DOOR- DESIGNED BY ONE OF 9 DIFFERENT ARTISTS. AN
UNUSUAL DECOR LANDSCAPE HAS RESULTED, IN PERHAPS THE ONLY
HOTEL AROUND WITH A STAIRCASE COVERED IN GRAFFITI. AS FOR
THE HOTEL ITSELF- ITS SMALL- EASILY OVERLOOKED FROM THE RUE
BUCI OUTSIDE- BUT CERTAINLY LEAVES A LARGE IMPRESSION WITH
ITS ADMIRING GUESTS. ARTUSHOTEL HAS ONLY 27 ROOMS-
DISTRIBUTED ECCENTRICALLY OVER SIX FLOORS OF A RENOVATED
18TH CENTURY BUILDING. ON THE DIFFERENT FLOORS OF A TYPICAL
/GERMANOPRATIN/ BUILDING- EACH ROOM IS DELIGHTFULLY
INTIMATE AND THE CHARMING ROOM SIZES ARE EXAMPLES OF AN
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE FROM WHICH ANY IDEA OF STRAIGHT ANGELS
WAS BANISHED. THE BEDS- HOWEVER- ARE DEFINITELY LATE 20TH
CENTURY-IN FACT THEY ARE THE UTMOST IN MODERN COMFORT-AS
ARE THE SANITARY INSTALLATIONS. PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT DUE
TO REFURBISHMENTS THE ARTUS HOTEL IS CLOSED FROM 01ST
NOVEMBER 2005 UNTIL 28TH FEBRUARY 2006.
