Each of the small rooms – padded in pink with gold trimmings in an OTT Rococo style – is named after a sexy celebrity to highlight this hotel’s image as a love nest. Outside neon lighting peeping through drawn curtains only heighten the effect.

Sex, sleaze and show-girls are all words synonymous with Paris’ Pigalle district. Villa Royale fittingly sounds like the kind of place you’d go to experience all three. With views of Sacré-Coeur and dazzling neon club lights, it’s at a safe distance from the seriously seedy streets (well, just) but close enough for you to feel the thrill of decadence and danger.
The hotel is a tongue-in-cheek reflection of the area – done up like a whore’s boudoir. Sexy silk pink padded doors, drapes and wallpaper, rococo gilt-framed LCD screens and fireplaces and bathrooms with jacuzzis for two…
Each room has been named after a glamorous celeb: Naomi Campbell, Catherine Deneuve, Serge Gainsbourg – all of whom you can imagine getting kinky in the dimly lit corridors. The perfect place for a dirty weekend in Paris.
