Hôtel de la Porte Dorée stands at 273 Avenue Daumesnil in Paris’s 12th arrondissement, a charming gem on the edge of Bois de Vincennes, Coulée verte, and the Petite Ceinture. This 3-star boutique hotel, redesigned in a Haussmann-era building with vintage furniture, earned the Green Key eco-label in 2011 and quickly became one of the first eco-conscious boutique hotels in the city.

With 42 rooms—from standard singles to exclusive triples—the hotel offers a warm, intimate ambiance blending wood flooring, moldings, antique furnishings, and plush linens—all with an eco-friendly twist. Air-conditioned, soundproofed rooms feature free wifi, tea/coffee facilities, satellite TV, DVD/Blu-Ray player, minibar, safe, hairdryer, and organic toiletries . The cozy lounge hosts a homemade breakfast buffet from 7 to 10 am with fresh juice, organic pastries, gluten-free and vegan options .

Bike rentals are available on-site (€10 half‑day, €18 full‑day). The hotel supports green mobility: Porte Dorée Metro line 8 is just 60 m away, tram T3A 80 m, and Velib stations nearby. Families are thoughtfully catered for with connecting rooms, toy baskets, baby beds, high chairs, potty seats, changing tables, kids’ bathtubs, etc.

Quirky proximity to Bercy Arena and green spaces makes it ideal for leisure and cultural stays. Open 24/7, multilingual staff assist with reservations, excursions, dining tips, making every stay memorable.

Atmosphere: vintage-chic, warm, candle‑scented, and intimate.

Guest Profile: Families, couples, eco-aware travelers, cyclists, and nature lovers.

Anecdote: Bought in 2000 by Christina and Laurent, the once-dilapidated building was lovingly restored with local vintage pieces. A spotlight emerged after a Sacramento Bee feature post‑9/11, boosting its reputation.
