Lonely Planet review

This 31-room hotel is in a lovely 18th-century building, which rather chauvinistically makes reference to the 'great men' in the Pantheon across the square (a woman, Marie Curie, is also in the crypt and has been there since 1995), was given a complete overhaul in 2002 and is now more opulent than ever.

The style is Empire - stamped fabric and plaster medallions, canopy beds and large lamps in the shape of urns. There are rooms with balconies on the 2nd, 5th and 6th floors all with full views of the Pantheon. But if you want to see things farther afield go for a room on either side of the last two; on a clear day you'll see all the way to Montmartre and Sacré Coeur. There's a pleasant (though under-utilised) bar just off the lobby and behind it room 1, one of the longest guestrooms in town, which stretches from the street to the little leafy 'courtyard' in back and is wheelchair accessible. The hotel is air-conditioned throughout.
