The luxurious and stylish Le Cinq Codet hotel in Paris’ 7th Arrondissement.
Le Cinq Codet has a wonderful location in the chic 7th (close to the Eiffel Tower and charming Rue Cler) with some of the most stylish rooms in the city. Each has ultra-modern décor and high ceilings for a loft-like feel. This architectural gem from the 1930s (formerly the France Telecom headquarters) plays on its unusual structure – glass and curves – and incorporates those details into wraparound bay windows and sun-drenched duplexes. The rooftop Prestige Suite features an outdoor jacuzzi and terraces with great views of nearby Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower.

Le Cinq Codet – Location
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Paris’ chic 7th arrondissement on the Left Bank, with many great restaurants and museums nearby – an easy walk to luxury shopping and many of Paris’ top attractions; just 5 minutes from Les Invalides and Rue Cler, and 15 minutes to the Eiffel Tower.
