Hotel Rivoli sits in the Marais district of Paris, a one-minute walk from Hôtel de Ville station and three minutes from the Seine. Rooms look out onto Notre-Dame and the Hôtel de Ville, and the Louvre is a ten-minute walk away while the Centre Pompidou is five minutes away. The building rises to six floors and has no elevator. There is no air conditioning, so it is hot in midsummer.
