Profile


 
The Hotel Royal Fromentin is located in the heart of Paris in Pigalle area, one of the city's liveliest "quartiers", just down the street from the famed Moulin Rouge where the French "cancan" portrayed by Toulouse Lautrec, has thrilled visitors to Paris since the "Belle Epoque". Located within walking distance of the major Paris department stores and the Opera, the hotel is in the heart of Paris, on a major métro line, just minutes away from the Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Left Bank.
 
The hotel has preserved its authentic character while offering every modern comfort. Warm hospitality and thoughtful service and assistance will make your stay a pleasant one. Start the day with fresh Parisian croissants served in your room or in the breakfast room. Relax in the "grand salon" and enjoy a cup of tea after a day's touring, or sip an "apéritif" at the bar before going out to dine in one of the neighbourhood restaurants. Take the antique elevator with its wood panelling and glass windows and note the original Art Deco design windows in the staircase up to the 7th floor. It's a rare taste of Paris of the 1930's.
 
Our hotel is famous also for serving the absinthe, a herbal liqueur made from wormwood (artemisa absinthium) and other herbs and anise which was very famous among the "bohemienns" for its hallucinogenic effects (only in case of over consumption!). Verlaine, Wilde, Baudelaire wrote about the effects of this drink. Last not least among our famous guest we can find many rock stars including the Blondies and Nirvana.
