Hotels near Le Loft des Écluses:

Le Robinet d'Or is the closest hotel to the venue, and the most "Parisian." It is in a small, older building and the rooms are charming. This also means that there is no elevator, and the windows probably aren't completely soundproof. There's also very limited availability because it's a small hotel, so if this is your kind of place act fast.

Hotel Paris Louis Blanc is a much larger hotel that is around the corner from the venue. The best thing about this hotel is an interior garden that, in May, would be a lovely place to have breakfast. It's the furthest of the hotels on this list, but we're talking about an additional 2 minutes walk, max, from the venue.

Ibis Styles Gare de L’Est is right next to the train station — the rooms on one side of the hotel look out at the tracks. If you choose this hotel, the upper floors on the train track side also have a fabulous view of the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur. The downside is there is likely some noise from the trains, but it's also a modern building so not likely too bad.
