“Hotel Oratio, nestled in the Latin Quarter, exudes a Wes Anderson-esque charm with its locally-inspired decor. I found that its location makes exploring Paris by foot or Metro effortless, placing you moments from Notre Dame and the Panthéon. It strikes me as a family-friendly choice, balancing cultural immersion with cozy, well-situated lodging.”
