Hotel Ginette
à la Folie
Wildly parisian
Festive events & wandering the neighborhood
Choose the eastern part of the French capital where things are happening. What does that mean? It means everything, including the life, energy and trendiness in Paris. The four-star Hotel Ginette à la Folie, located in the 11th arrondissement, brilliantly embraces the good vibes of a cutting-edge neighborhood. In the last century, the rue de Malte was home to the Alhambra, first an opera house, then a music hall, where the “who’s who” of the city flocked to see La Traviata and later Edith Piaf or Mistinguett. It's rumored that a certain Ginette could even have sung there and turned heads. Today, what’s true is that between République, the Canal Saint-Martin and the Oberkampf area, the atmosphere is still full of a chic, bohemian coolness. A place to indulge yourself in sidewalk cafés, poetic cul-de-sac streets, avant-garde galleries and other trendy hot spots... before returning to Ginette’s well-placed setting.
Ardor & coquetry
Parisian pleasure houses in this neighborhood, known as folies, were often dedicated to hidden loves or mistresses-in-residence who were pampered by their lovers... rebaptisées ainsi en (dé)raison de leur usage…So Hotel Ginette à la Folie has taken its inspiration from them: its mischievous flair nurtures an extravagant, carefree lifestyle. In its stylish setting, pink elephants, exotic floral bouquets, leopard-printed zebras and other curiosities flirt with an opulent comfort that goes from the reception lounge to the 46 guest rooms. From romantic alcoves to dramatic room decors, Ginette's style sings the praises of a tasteful frivolity: the kind which, as you head out with your beloved – or your friends - will make you feel good.
Setting & Feeling
This folly and madness also typifies a place that takes pleasure seriously: we don't mess around with well-being! At Hotel Ginette à la Folie, each member of the team puts their heart and soul into their work. Choral expertise and know-how is combined with the best savoir-vivre: a spa that can be privatized to immerse yourself in voluptuousness, a tasty gourmet breakfast, tempting room service, a rooftop nestled among the Paris roofs for stargazing and an honesty bar for epicurean rendezvous... In this lush boudoir atmosphere, you can play at “being Ginette” throughout your stay. Your craziest desires or simplest requests will be welcomed with open arms.
