Many of the hotel's rooms offer spectacular views of the basilica of Sacré-Cœur, one of Paris' most famous landmarks. Nearby attractions This formerly Bohemian district is home to many of the city's most famous cabaret venues such as the Moulin Rouge, the famous dance club where the earliest form of the Can-Can was invented, as well as the Cabaret Pigalle, Boule Noire and Trois Baudets. Prior to the First World War the neighborhood was the stamping ground of some of the leading lights of French culture including Renoir, Van Gogh, Modigliani and Eric Satie. Today the streets are still filled with unusual boutiques and stores selling exotic groceries and musical instruments. Close to the hotel the museum of Romantic Life is a showcase of Romantic literature, painting and sculpture and is a must for fans of George Sand.
