Where to Stay in Montparnasse

Choose between a hotel on an artists’ street, a boulevard Raspail address, and a stay near the cafés of rue Delambre and Carrefour Vavin.

Choose Hôtel des Académies et des Arts for its current arts program, Hôtel Léopold for boulevard Raspail and La Closerie des Lilas, or Hôtel Delambre for Le Dôme, La Rotonde, the Dingo Bar, and the address where André Breton lived in 1921.
