L’Inattendu, a new story in Paris

A reinvented 4-star hotel between Montparnasse and the Luxembourg Gardens.
At 11 bis Rue Jules Chaplain, in Paris’s 6th arrondissement, L’Inattendu has been given a new lease of life. Fully renovated in 2025, this 24-room 4-star hotel embraces a certain idea of hospitality: spontaneous, warm and never stuffy.
