Thinking of a trip in early Dec. with son - ideally, I'd like to be in 5th or 6 arrondissement and thinking of a hotel with a room with two beds. Do not need two rooms/connecting room, one room is fine, just want two beds. Anyone have suggestion?
Just ask for twin beds. Most hotels just push two beds together to make a full or queen. I just booke Hotel de l’Alma in the 7th and requested twins with no problem.
twin beds are easy to find at nearly any hotel in Paris . A twin room is two single beds. A double room is one double bed (often two twins pushed together).
If you want an American style room with two double/full beds in it, I know for sure they have those at Crowne Plaza Republique and at some of the Holiday Inns. I like the Crowne Plaza. It's a nice hotel and a convenient location, next to a metro hub. But the area isn't the postcard charm most Americans seem to want - it's more urban feeling.
pretty flex -- I have in mind a 4 star hotel. Not on a *very* tight budget.
Stars in Paris don't mean what you think. They specifically relate to what amenities are available like room size, languages spoken by staff and if there's a gym. Stars in Paris do not refer to quality (though often they are similar as a property that is meeting the criteria for 4 or 5 stars is probably trying to be high quality).
In many traditional hotels in France , the two separate beds in a twin bed room will be pushed together and share one headboard. So basically it feels like one big bed but with separate bedding for each twin bed.
I don’t know if you & your son would be comfortable with that set up — it would not have worked for me when my son was that age.
The international chain hotels are more likely to have the type of twin bed set-up that Americans are accustomed to.
You can get a nice size twin bed room at the Paris Pullman Tour Eiffel , for example.
Or if you want a more traditional hotel closer to the center, I would suggest you try the triple room at the charming Hotel Left Bank St Germain in the 6e. It is one large comfortable room, with one double bed and a separate single bed across the room.
(I stayed there years ago with one of my then-teens, and the set-up was perfect. The hotel has been refurbished since then, and the location is really great.)
Yes, I was just going to make the same point as #6. Those twin beds are pushed very closely together as most hotel rooms are fairly small, or comparatively so.
If you do consider 2 rooms, that would give you 2 bathrooms, which would come in very handy.

Really, if your budget is not very tight (not sure what means in € or USD), given the size of Paris hotel rooms, two rooms is a much better idea. For example, you could probably get two rooms at Hotel Excelsior Latin and have comfortable full-size beds. The Crown Plaza Republique has rooms with two double beds.

Mother-Son Trip: Not the Experience Mom Expected

I remember hearing friends who have older teens say, “Yeah, I barely see my oldest son anymore—he’s so busy with sports, school and his friends.” And, like everything else in life, I didn’t understand it until I experienced it.
Recently, I was particularly excited to take my oldest son, Zach, skiing. He and I were meeting some good friends who have a son the same age as he is. And, we were driving our own car so that we could have three hours of uninterrupted quality time .
I began making the list of discussion questions in my head weeks ago. What was his favorite class and why? What type of college did he see himself attending? How was sophomore year different from freshman year? If he could go back in time and witness a historical event, which would it be? And on and on.
I could barely contain my excitement as I packed the car with snacks, and Zach arranged the skis. We proceeded down the driveway.
“Mom, can we discuss last night’s episode of The Middle?” he asked. It’s our family’s current favorite sitcom—mainly because they mirror our family. And, his question introduced a topic I hadn’t even considered. I was giddy with excitement.
“Oh, it’s funny you mention that. I just heard the kid who plays Axel is 20. Can you believe that?” I asked.
Since we live in an age where you don’t have to wonder about anything, Zach grabbed my phone and googled. He read the blurb to me, commenting about the actors and other show trivia.
Wow, this was going even better than I expected.
I wanted to cry. We hadn’t even left our neighborhood. Didn’t he realize how special this time was? Didn’t he get that in this conversation he wouldn’t get interrupted by his siblings, and I wouldn’t get a phone call that would stifle the momentum of our time together ? Didn’t he … just start snoring? Seriously?
I glanced over at him, and he looked so peaceful. I could hear his music and noticed the slightly turned up sides of his mouth, revealing the dimples I love. I was reminded of the toddler who took four-hour naps and fell asleep in his high chair with food still in his hand. I almost descended into full-blown nostalgia, until I slapped myself back to reality. His dozing and my musing on the good ole’ days was so NOT what I envisioned for our journey across I-90.
Zach dozed on and off the entire ride. I chatted to myself. Good thing I make such great company .
We arrived at the ski hill and brought all of our gear into the lodge. He left with his friend, and I with mine. Lunch was a blur, and by dinner we were all nearly asleep. By 9 p.m., I could barely keep my eyes open. I muttered a half-hearted good night.
I snickered at his inherited sarcasm, but then I realized something. He was actually serious. He was glad he wasn’t sharing a bed with his brother. He was glad we weren’t getting interrupted. And he was glad to be away , just the two of us—exactly like I envisioned.
