About Hotel Whistler
The Hotel Whistler has been fully renovated and re-opened as a train themed hotel that is situated in the 10th Arrondissement close to popular tourist attractions in Paris such as the Haunted House Museum. It is also very close to the Gare du Nord Train Station, which is the busiest station in Paris and serves trains to and from many European destinations including the UK, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Now with this particular point in mind, one of the major aspects of the hotel's design that was imagined by Sandrine Alouf, was to incorporate an information board showing the train schedule for the Gare du Nord, which is actually in real time and therefore the lobby and lounge area is like a waiting room.
Other themed features within this unusual hotel in Paris include old fashioned suitcases or trunks adorning the walls, a small locomotive train that travels above you in the lobby, different pictures and other things such as some seats designed like an open suitcase that remind us of a bygone era and the Belle Epoque Golden Age of train travel.
Services and Facilities at the Hotel Whistler
Fully air conditioned and soundproofed with a lift for easier access to different levels, you may be pleased to know that this is one of the disabled friendly hotels in Paris and has a 24 hour reception with luggage hold facilities.

When it comes to breakfast, this is served within a dedicated breakfast room, which carries the train theme on with chairs and tables like you would expect to see within a first class carriage, and this area also has the honesty bar where you can help yourself to different drinks and pay at the end of your stay, plus it doubles up as a work area during the day, for those you in Paris on business, or just wishing to catch up with friends and family utilising the free WiFi.
