Cour des Vosges - Evok Collection

The hotel is a real surprise--a very good surprise--the food was excellent. The lobby was very small, but it was enough and felt intimate, more so than small. The service, food and amenities were definitely the quality of a luxury hotel. The location was in walking distance of many restaurants and museums.

From start to finish the experience has been awful. The front desk is not equipped to even answer the phone much less provide answered to any questions about the neighborhood. My room which was a deluxe suite did not have even a tea kettle or a coffee pot. The room was very dark with the lightbulbs of very low wattage. The Toto toilet features were inoperable until the final day of my stay. There wet no salts for the lovely tub and no shower caps. The only thing provided in the bath were cotton balls and Q tips. On my final full day I called reception and just keep letting it ring for 28 minutes hoping they would answer. In that time I got dressed, brushed my teeth and finally went downstairs. They said something was wrong with their phones. Other guests were walking down in the night clothes. I inquired why there wasn’t a coffee/tea service in the room. She said there was and that it was in the bar. I speak passable French when the restaurant staff brought my breakfast they showed me a closet next to the bar which held a tea kettle and a mini bar but nothing else. When I checked in 3 days before it was not shown to me and the person giving me the tour said the doors led to another room. It was also very loud due to its proximity on the place des Voges but there were no ear plugs available. I so wanted to love the hotel and the room but it was a severe disappointment. And for the 5 start price it was BARELY 3 star service. Everyone was polite and happy but there was no management and it seemed there was no grown up hotelier in charge. Don’t wast your time or get seduced by the room photos and romance of the Place des Voges. Cours des Voges didn’t warm my heart — it broke it.

This hotel is a unique - a 300 year old building that's been wonderfully restored with view out to the most beautiful (IMO) square in Paris in the colest Paris hood. It's a comfy stay with all the amenities of a great hotel, except no restaurant (there is a cafe in the hotel and 100s of restaurants right outside your door). Plus, the mixed modern and historical design creates a museum-like vibe with cool art, chic furnishings, high ceilings, and killer views of the square. It's totally hard to top the ambiance here, and we had a blast during our stay. Okay, real talk: this hotel is pretty pricey. Yes, it's got a cool mix of modern and historical design, and the views of the square are amazing. And sure, you can cook in your room instead of going out to eat. But let's be real, not everyone wants to cook while they're on vacation. And with the cost of the room, you might not have much money left over for dining out. So while it's definitely a unique and comfortable place to stay, just be prepared to pay a premium for it.

This is an idiosyncratic, boutique hotel in an historic structure. It is far from being a 5 star luxury hotel. Although the staff at reception are very nice, the concierge service is abysmal and unresponsive. Although the beds are comfortable, the rooms are poorly appointed and cramped. One of the light switches was half-detached from the wall; another had a crackling short-circuit. The bathroom amenities are substandard. Based on their website and the price (1200 Euros a night) we were expecting so much more. This was a great disappointment.
