Paris lovers, you've got a new place to call home in the City of Light.

In about a week the French capital is going to see the arrival of its newest, sharpest, hippest and happiest little hotel in years. On Monday, December 19th, Hotel Jules & Jim is going to officially bust open its doors on the Rue de Gravilliers in a fab patch of the northern Marais (3rd arrondissment). The love child of Geoffroy Sciard and Antoine Brault, the 23-room haven will be a welcoming blend of arty style, upscale comfort, urban cool and down-home warmth.

For months and months Sciard and Brault have been working diligently and deliberately, transforming a raw little building and its back courtyard and adjoining properties into a homey enclave. Throughout all their work and renovations, they've opened the space for parties, events and photo shoots, inviting neighbors and friends and media folks to come and celebrate the hotel's creation and its life as a work-in-progress.

What you'll find when you visit from December 19th on will be a friendly haven of style and sentiment, comfort and coolness. Some rooms will offer rooftop views over Paris (Sacre Coeur in one direction; romantic Marais rooftops in another), others will feature charming balconies over the hotel's cozy inner courtyard.

When it's breakfast time, you can nosh on a perfectly curated menu (which will likely change a little bit every day) with variations on fruit, Paris' finest pastries, coffees and teas, enjoyed in the hotels refurbished rustic/chic breakfast and bar area, or out on the courtyard.

In the evening, the bar will feature carefully selected wines on offer, killer cocktails from a seasoned (and friendly) mixologist, a fire in the courtyard fireplace, and the ability to chart your night with the help of the Jules et Jim staff, who are already working with local restaurants and arts gurus to create relationships that bring the best of Paris to their guests. The hotel library will offer a mix of classics (in French and English) as well as graphic art titles. comic books and photography tomes.

And the rooms... Every inch of space is considered in the design. Expect muted lighting embedded in the walls of your room, televisions with surfaces that double as mirrors when not being used, air conditioning, free wifi and the most comfortable bedding you can imagine.

The Centre Georges Pompidou is a five-minute walk. The lively Marais cafes, bars and eateries are closer. The Hotel de Ville is 10 minutes' distance. And best of all, you'll be in your favorite new hotel in one of the world's most iconic cities.
