Located in south Pigalle (an up-and-coming area known as SoPi), the Amour is a low budget, no frills boutique hotel partly owned by the artist André, one the proprietors of the nightclub Le Baron. Each of it's 20 rooms are individually furnished with retro furniture and Terry Richardson's erotic art photographs (Batman and Robin in crotchless costumes in room 105 is perhaps the most extreme - and amusing!). All the corridors are painted black. There are no TV's, phones or mini-bars in the rooms (too distracting for lovers it is said) but there are Ipod connections in every room and a good if not noisy restaurant plus a pleasant courtyard garden where breakfast is served on fine days. Rates: €90 - 250
