You have to look up to truly appreciate what the Crowne Plaza République is all about: a Belle Époque-style hotel situated on Place de la République, facing the bronze statue of Marianne, in one of the boulevard’s most imposing Haussmann-style buildings. Its 328 spacious rooms—all air-conditioned and fully equipped—and its 1,500 m² Napoleon III-style inner courtyard—an unlikely oasis of greenery in the heart of Paris—define the hotel’s dual identity: a major hotel operation on one hand, an unexpected refuge on the other. The new duplex suites with views of the Eiffel Tower, recently added to the offerings, reflect an ambition that extends beyond the business segment alone. At Le Dix restaurant, breakfast in front of the large panoramic windows offers a fast-forward lesson in Parisian life—joggers, cyclists, buses, and taxis bustling by right before your eyes.
