About Hotel Ranque
A warm, boutique hideaway between Bastille and Gare de Lyon.
Our Story
Hotel Ranque was born from a simple idea: that a city hotel should feel less like a generic stopover and more like a thoughtfully designed home base. We opened our doors in the heart of Paris's 11th arrondissement with the goal of creating a space where comfort, design, and everyday rituals come together.
We're located on Avenue Ledru-Rollin, a street that captures the balance we love—lively enough to feel authentically Parisian, yet calm enough to offer real rest. Our building combines classic Parisian architecture with contemporary interiors, and every room has been designed with attention to light, sound, and comfort.
Rather than filling the hotel with standard amenities that guests rarely use, we focused on four signature experiences: a chess club & bar, a cycling lab, a specialty coffee corner, and a yoga & inversions studio. These aren't gimmicks—they reflect how we and our guests actually want to spend time in Paris.
Our Philosophy
At Hotel Ranque, we believe that travel is most rewarding when you can balance exploration with rest, social moments with solitude, and urban energy with quiet retreat. Our philosophy is simple: create spaces that respect both the excitement of being in Paris and the need for genuine downtime.
We don't try to be everything to everyone. Instead, we focus on what we do well: warm, soundproofed rooms; thoughtful design; strong Wi-Fi; and four signature experiences that invite you to engage with the hotel beyond just sleeping here.
We also care deeply about our neighborhood. We're not here to extract from the community—we want to contribute to it. That means partnering with local businesses, respecting the residential character of the area, and welcoming guests who appreciate authenticity over Instagram-ready superficiality.
