A Gay Stay in Gay Paris
A hotel for gays in Paris? Hotel Central is
bringing new meaning to "Gay Paris." Located in an 18th-century
building on rue Vieille-du-Temple, in the heart of the
Marais, it's infamous for being the Paris hotel most
frequented by homosexuals.
The
hotel, Le Bar Central, is a popular gay bar. In fact, if you arrive at
the hotel any time other than betweent 8am and 4pm, you’ll have to pick
your keys up at the bar--and maybe a cute guy while you're at it.
The rooms are nothing special, but clean and simple. None, however,
have a bath. $85-$105. Contact: 33 rue Vieille-du-Temple,
33-1-48-87-99-33; métro: Hôtel-de-Ville.
