Belleville

BABEL has taken up residence in Belleville - a popular neighbourhood in the heart of Paris where every piece of wall tells a story and life springs up from the pavement. Mingling on its streets are tourists and Parisians, artists’ ateliers and bars, halal butchers and synagogues. Cosmopolitan, shambolic, generous, Belleville is a fête that BABEL celebrates every day.

A stationary journey just a stone’s throw from the metro, in a quiet pedestrian street, nourished by good vibes and good products.

Inspired by the ends of the earth and the next street down.

The rooms

The journey begins as soon as you step into the lift. Through the glass cabin, the Tower of Babel unfolds before your eyes, hand-drawn by artist Juliette Seban. With interiors designed by Atelier Daphné Desjeux, the doors open onto a hushed corridor where time seems to stand still.

Step into one of the hotel’s 31 three-star rooms and feel the comforting sense of leaving the noise and bustle of the city behind. Inside, there are no screens — just a cosy bed, warm textures and colours, weathered walls and woody scents, creating the feeling of being suspended in time.

This is Belleville

The newest addition to the neighbourhood, BABEL is all about celebrating Belleville and the people who make it what it is. We build long-term relationships with committed, ultra-local suppliers and neighbourhood organisations. From floor to ceiling, BABEL is filled with work by Belleville-based artists — keep your eyes open!

BABEL champions responsible hospitality that respects the environment and is firmly rooted in the local community. In recognition of its environmental and social commitments, BABEL has been awarded the Clef Verte label for sustainable tourism and is certified as a Société à Mission (purpose-driven company).
