| - This sweet lil' boutique hotel is all but tucked away on a tiny street in an older part of the city. It's the kind of property that upon first glance may have you wondering if you're cool enough to stay here, but it's silly to worry. "Of course you are," the voice in your head (or is it a subliminal message?) assures you as you cross the threshold.
I tend to appreciate hotels like the Omni, Palomar and W more than I do trendy boutique hotels. They have great amenities, are typically high rises with windows offering spectacular views of the city and there's always a hotel gym. That said, I feel like I'm missing out by not staying in more unique places like this one, so instead of the Omni, I opted for Le Petit and I'm so glad I did! It's thoroughly charming and I had a great experience here.
Choose the size of your room when booking. Prices are extremely fair. The rooms are lovely and feature the original French windows that actually open. There's something really satisfying about sitting on a modern Eames orange chair staring out at the old buildings surrounding you. I kept the curtains open much of the time and enjoyed having an entire wall of windows. I adore the stone walls and the bed is sinfully comfortable/impossible to get out of. They have room service courtesy of a local restaurant with limited hours. The mini bar edibles are limited to a tin of Pringles (my downfall) and chocolate bars. The shower that everyone goes on about is actually quite easy to use and I love the smell of the current bath products they offer.
That said, there are some differences to get used to. Don't expect to arrive and have bellhops falling over themselves to help you get your luggage out of the cab (this always makes me nervous to be perfectly honest). You may even struggle to get your luggage in the door, too. Not a big deal but it's slightly awkward to walk up a couple steps in heels and unwieldy luggage. Let's just say Yours, Truly might have made an entrance... a clumsy one at that. Staff are all different degrees of friendliness, but definitely more reserved than is typical in a big hotel. When asked, they are absolutely helpful, no doubt about that.
The guys at breakfast time are really nice about bringing you coffee after you order it at the bar (you can also order from your table). Sadly, they were out of soy milk both mornings I was there, but the espresso is good enough to drink on its own. I'm not much of a breakfast lover, but if you are, you'll be in love with their elegant little buffet of croissants, fresh fruit and cereals.
I think the only thing that I didn't love besides the lack of a gym on the premises, is that you don't get a coffee maker in the room. I need that shit alone and I need it before leaving the room, yo. I felt bad about inflicting my unmade-up morningesque self on the public first thing, but it had to happen here.
