What are the criterias for rating a 4-star hotel?

  • 17/01/2023
  • About the hotel

Since the French hotel industry is made up of a majority of 3-star hotels, and therefore of upper mid-range accommodations, the transition to a 4-star hotel represents an advantage in the hotel market, which is facing tough competition. Le Littré: a 4-star hotel in Paris Perfectly located, the hotel Le Littré Paris has recently had its 4-star certification renewed in March 2022. To ensure that tourists who come to enjoy a Parisian getaway for a weekend or for a long vacation, businessmen or regular customers enjoy maximum comfort, hotels are inspected by professionals in the sector. The hotel establishment applies to an auditing firm of its choice, among those accredited by the French Accreditation Committee (COFRAC), which carries out the inspection. This voluntary classification is done at the request of the hotelier: a real guarantee of quality and reliability for its customers. Following the inspector’s visit, including a mystery visit for 4-star hotels, a grade is given according to a grid of criteria. This classification awards the number of stars and remains valid for a period of 5 years. Between Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a few meters from the Jardin du Luxembourg and the capital’s must-see tourist attractions, the Hotel Le Littré welcomes its guests with the comfort and facilities of a 4-star hotel in Paris. Indeed, the awarding of the certification of a 4 star hotel is based on 3 main criteria:The quality and comfort of the equipment The quality of the services offered The good practices in terms of environment and reception of disabled people.The comfort and facilities in the rooms of our 4-star hotel Spacious rooms of more than 16 m² including access to international television channels, WI-FI access, a minibar, a safe, a functional air conditioning system and a kettle are the facilities available to you at the 4-star hotel Le Littré Paris. In the bathroom, you will find a hairdryer and toiletries to offer you moments of relaxation. Take a bath or a shower, as you wish. In order to meet Atout France criteria, but above all out of concern for the well-being and safety of its clients and employees, the Littré hotel has integrated devices and equipment adapted to people with disabilities. Indeed, in three of our superior rooms for disabled people, you have access to the bathroom in a wheelchair, a chair for the shower, as well as switches positioned at the appropriate height. These 3 rooms are approved for all types of disabilities.   High quality services offered by a 4 star hotel in Paris Our breakfast, which can be served in your room, is perfect to start the day on the right foot while admiring a view of the Eiffel Tower from our superior, executive or terrace suite. To book it, our online reservation system gives you the opportunity to benefit from the most advantageous offers. A service worthy of a 4 star hotel in Paris. A dedicated multilingual staff is at your disposal to give you the best advice and recommendations on the area around our 4 star hotel in the 6th arrondissement for the duration of your stay in Paris. A 4 star hotel in Paris and a 4 star hotel in the world: what are the differences? Although there are basic criteria common to all countries: room facilities, bathroom facilities, hotel services and catering, the level of service and comfort varies. To date, there is no international classification due to the economic, cultural and regulatory differences of each country. Standards and rules sometimes vary within these countries: Italy and Spain, for example, have a mandatory classification by region. If you are used to staying in Asia, the level of comfort and service of a 4-star hotel is much higher than the French average. A 5 star hotel in Asia corresponds to the quality of service of a 4 star hotel in Paris. On the other hand, the European average is disparate. Balkan countries such as Croatia and Montenegro offer a lower quality of service and comfort for a similar category and level of standing. In Egypt and Turkey, where there is no strict certification, hotels award themselves their number of stars. On the contrary, in Germany the star rating is controlled by a very strict organization, which makes a 4 star hotel very reliable and of high quality. It is therefore important to compare the services and relaxation areas offered by the hotelier beforehand in order to choose the most suitable accommodation for your needs and desired standard. Reading the comments and reviews of guests who have stayed at a 4-star hotel is an excellent way to get an idea of the level of service offered.   Come and stay at the Littré hotel in a warm and family atmosphere where our staff will listen to your needs !

The Littré hotel, a Montparnasse train station hotel located in a historic district of Paris

  • 13/01/2023
  • About the hotel

  The hotel le Littré, located a few meters from the Montparnasse train station, is the starting point for your Parisian escapades. Between the Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés districts, it is the ideal place to spend a comfortable night and enjoy a delicious breakfast before setting off to discover the capital or start your seminar. Discover the Gare Montparnasse area, the home of the Hotel Littré, a typically Parisian neighborhood full of stories and anecdotes where the passage of intellectuals has deeply marked the history of literature and the city.   A little history on the Montparnasse district or the “Mont Parnasse” In fact, young Parisian artists from the Paris Montparnasse train station area meeting at the foot of a hill to recite their poems in the 1920s are actually the origin of the name Montparnasse. The name refers to a Greek mountain over 2000 meters high, overlooking the city of Delphi, a symbol of Greek mythology. The city was a real place of worship of the god Apollo and the nine muses during Antiquity. The notion of height is thus the key word of the district with the famous Montparnasse Tower.    A hotel between the Montparnasse train station and Saint Germain des Prés : a place of cosmopolitan meetings  In the 1920s, the Montparnasse station district became the “center of the world”. Between bars, traditional brasseries, bookshops, intellectuals mingle. The bistros became a place of exchange, debate and disagreement that could end at dusk. The artists are an integral part of the decor of the Montparnasse district, and their works become their currency. Victor Libion, manager of La Rotonde, one of the most popular brasseries in the neighborhood, let artists sleep on the benches and gave them bread in exchange for their works. Poets, novelists, painters, and politicians gave the Montparnasse station district the reputation of a place of artistic effervescence. Apollinaire wrote: “In Montparnasse, on the contrary, we now find the real artists dressed in American style”. Today, tourists from all over the world come to see the remnants of the artistic Montparnasse. And Le Littré, a hotel just a stone’s throw from the Montparnasse train station, welcomes them with great pleasure. We are particularly pleased to welcome each year many Brazilians who appreciate our central hotel.Our hotel close to the Montparnasse station, a hotel in the center of culture  Close to the Montparnasse train station, the Littré Paris hotel is surrounded by cinemas, theaters and bistros to discover the charm of Parisian evenings. The cultural offer around the Montparnasse train station is rich thanks to its museums, monuments and places to walk: Paris Montparnasse – Top of the City, the Montparnasse cemetery, the Bourdelle museum, the Catacombs or the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art.  Today, the bistros near the Montparnasse station hotel – La Rotonde, Le Select, La Coupole, and La Closerie des Lilas – are remnants of the artistic tumult of the 1920s and of traditional French culture and gastronomy.  “Whichever café in Montparnasse you ask a driver from the right bank to take you to, he will take you to La Rotonde,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in The Sun Rises in 1926. As for the Closerie des Lilas brasserie, it was frequented by Hemingway, Miller, and Fitzgerald who had the manuscript of Gatsby the Magnificent read. The cinema in the heart of the neighborhood around our Montparnasse station hotel  The heart of the neighborhood became a source of inspiration for writers, novelists, poets, painters, but also directors. Montparnasse 19, also known as Les Amants de Montparnasse: a film produced by Franco London Film tells the story of life in the neighborhood around the Montparnasse station in the years 1919-1920, in the aftermath of the war through the tumultuous life of Modigliani. The love and passion for painting, alcohol, his meeting with his girlfriend Jeanne are staged in an artistic Montparnasse that reveals the talent of the famous Italian. Rebellious and of a protesting spirit, he refuses to barter his art for money. This will lead inexorably to his tragic end. It is today one of the cult films that list the artists of the XXth century parnassian.    A little trip down memory lane: the construction of the Montparnasse station Built in an art deco style by the French architect and designer Henri Pacon, the Montparnasse train station has become the 4th largest train station in France, welcoming more than 53 million travelers. It is the arrival point for many businessmen and women who come to attend or organize the trade shows and exhibitions at the Porte de Versailles. The main lines are at the terminus of the Montparnasse train station, five minutes from the Littré hotel.  The Montparnasse train station is the hub of French and international tourist destinations and is a monument to technical and artistic progress. The station was notably presented during the Universal Exhibition, a historic event that aims to present the greatest innovations of the country that welcomes visitors from around the world. The construction of the Montparnasse station has evolved over the centuries. In the 1800s, two lines were built, one of which served the terminus: Gare Saint Lazare, the station that inspired Monet for his impressionist paintings. The second line served the former barrier of Maine, called Versailles Rive Gauche. It later experienced technical and financial difficulties, forcing its reconstruction between the barrière du Maine and the boulevard Montparnasse.  In 1902, the Invalides station was built in order to unload the Montparnasse station, with the station itself as the terminus. This station provided long-distance traffic until 1935. The Montparnasse station saw thousands of travelers pass through. Moreover, the traffic coming from the suburbs exploded, so new tracks were opened in order to accommodate the maximum number of people and have a maximum flow of passengers in better conditions.

It was the major event to showcase the industrial progress of the host country. A call for projects was issued, and Gustave Eiffel’s project was selected: a 300-meter high tower named after him.   At first strongly criticized by the artistic community, an open letter against its construction was written, published in the newspaper Le Temps and signed by intellectuals such as Guy de Maupassant and Charles Garnier. As soon as it was opened to the general public on the day of the exhibition, the Eiffel Tower was adored. The question of its conservation became obvious and so this monument, visible from the terraces of our Eiffel Tower hotel, became the must-see monument that adorns Paris.   Today, the Iron Lady is the cultural symbol of the city. Indeed, how to speak about Paris without evoking the Eiffel Tower? It represents the timeless object of desire of tourists, directors, painters and writers.

Located behind the Gaumont Parnasse cinema, line 6 towards Charles de Gaulle-Étoile will take you straight to the Eiffel Tower. Stop at the Bir-Hakeim station, then exit onto the quai de Seine: you are only a few minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower.   Our hotel is perfectly located to get to all of the city’s tourist attractions. To reach your destination by bus from our Eiffel Tower view hotel, take bus 82 on Boulevard du Montparnasse. Get on at the Montparnasse-Cinemas stop until you reach the American Hospital (you do not have to cross the boulevard).

It takes a little more than half an hour, but it is worth it. Once there, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the monument from the Champ de Mars. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to call our concierge.
