Villa SoPi Appart'Hotel
Fourteen apartments in a renovated Haussmann building off rue des Martyrs, each with a kitchenette and dishwasher and a 24-hour desk — a serviced flat that still takes nightly bookings.
Booking through this link may earn par.is a commission. Same price as anywhere.
Rue des Martyrs' food shops are a minute away, which is the case for the kitchenette over a restaurant bill.

Le Louxor
170 Boulevard de Magenta, opened 1921 — neo-Egyptian architecture inspired by Tutankhamun's then-recent discovery (the tomb was opened 1922, but Egyptomania was already in full swing). Closed 1983, abandoned for 30 years, restored and reopened 2013 with three screens. The exterior tiles are mostly original; the auditorium has the painted Egyptian frieze.
The lobby is worth seeing even without a ticket — walk in, look at the Egyptian-revival frieze and the colour-block mosaic floor. The third-floor terrace bar (open before screenings) has an unexpected view of Sacré-Cœur.

Van Gogh at Père Tanguy
14 Rue Clauzel. Julien Tanguy ran a colour-supplies shop here in the 1880s and gave struggling painters credit on materials in exchange for paintings. Van Gogh painted three portraits of Tanguy, two of them in front of a wall covered in Japanese prints. The shop is gone but the building survives.
There's a small plaque on the building. The street is quiet and residential — visit, look up at the second-floor windows, then walk on. Don't expect a museum; this is a five-minute pilgrimage stop.
Within a few minutes' walk
- Woodstock HostelSocial hostel€ · 2 minAn independent hold-out below Pigalle on Rue Rodier, with a bar that runs to 2am and a 1960s conceit it commits to fully. Free breakfast, free walking tours, and the foothill of Montmartre a few streets uphill.
- Vintage Paris Gare du NordDesign hostel€ · 5 minA pop-music-themed hostel on Rue de Dunkerque, air-conditioned and within walking distance of both Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est — hostel rates with hotel manners, largely delivered.
- Les ArlotsBistro & natural wine€€ · 7 minA handful of tables near Gare du Nord built around one dish: the saucisse-purée, herb sausage over silky mash. Book, or don't get in.
- Hôtel RochechouartRooftop-view boutique hotel€€ · 7 minA restored Art-Deco building in Pigalle with an open-air rooftop framing Sacré-Cœur and the Eiffel Tower — real style and a real view at mid prices.
- Le PantrucheNeo-bistro€€ · 7 minFranck Baranger's small SoPi room that helped write the modern bistronomy playbook in 2011 and still earns a Michelin Bib. The Grand Marnier soufflé is the dessert everyone tells you to keep room for.
- 9Hotel OpéraBoutique hotel€€ · 8 minA grey-and-wood boutique near the Grands Boulevards with a ground-floor coworking table — printer, sockets, long hours — which few Paris hotels bother to provide.
