Where to stay
As the hotel has grown, Terrass is a solid all-rounder. It's very close to Gare du Nord, you can do it in 30 minutes on the metro, and it's a beat for all the activities in Montmartre.
The Moulin Rouge and Sacré Coeur are within walking distance. It can be said that the decoration is fashionable. Red is the signature colour of the rooms, giving them a fun and modern atmosphere. Definitely not a violet shrinkage.
Make sure you ask for a room with a view of the Eiffel Tower.
Best of all is its rooftop bar and restaurant on the 7th floor with panoramic views of Paris. This is a real breakthrough.
