Rue de Buci is my favourite street in Paris, and I grew up there so I know the city very well. At Hotel de Buci you are logged on a glittering street between organic supermarkets, wine bars, art book stores, and bustling restaurants, all within walking distance of the river, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, and so much more.
On arrival at the hotel we were warmly received by Marie for whom nothing was too much trouble. Help with our stroller? Done. Book a last minute cab on departure because we got overwhelmed by heading to the airport on the train? Done. The night staff were so kind, the gentleman whose name I sadly did not get warmed our child’s milk to a few degrees above what was necessary because he knew we were bathing her and in his words, “I have kids, I know you’ll need longer than expected to get to the milk, so I warmed it more so it’s the perfect temperature by the time you’re ready for it.” This is true luxury. Attentiveness, empathy, and predicting my needs before I even know I have them.
We got a junior suite with view on Rue de Buci and it was charming, I cannot recommend it enough. The gifted Scandi design soft toy in the crib was the icing on the cake! We can’t wait to come back.
