Street art hotel in Paris: the Graphik Montparnasse, sleep in the art

The Graphik Montparnasse, a 3-star boutique desgn hotel ideally located at 131 avenue du Maine in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, France, is one of the most original art hotels in Paris. Its 42 renovated bedrooms with air conditioning each display a unique fresco signed by street artists, where saturated color and urban art run from floor to ceiling.
A short walk from Gare Montparnasse and its metro station, this establishment blends contemporary comfort, an excellent location and a creative quarter at the heart of the city. Push open the door for an unforgettable artistic experience, where graffiti becomes a way of life, and let yourself be surprised the moment you arrive.
A street art hotel in Paris signed by real muralists
At the Graphik Montparnasse, street art is not a marketing line: it is the spirit of the place, and what sets it apart among street art hotels in Paris. Each of the 42 bedrooms reveals a fresco unique to the hotel, designed and hand-painted in situ by two French artists. Fabien Mazé, alias XKUZ, breaks down the geometric shapes of the alphabet into colorful abstract compositions. Vincent Bargis, alias M7, explores optical and kinetic art: his parallel lines make circles and spheres appear in three dimensions depending on your viewing angle, like subliminal images. The result is an art hotel where every room becomes a work in its own right, far from any standardized decor.
This street art signature continues into the Anamorphose bar, whose name pays tribute to the technique that plays with perspective. The interior style is inspired by the dreamlike world of Magritte, the kinetic art of Vasarely and the cinematic light of David Lynch, creating an atmosphere that will delight contemporary art lovers. The murals were created with PALM, the French specialist in large hand-painted artistic frescoes. Here, urban art is not something you visit: it is something you live, within an artistic ambiance that follows every moment of your stay.
A street art hotel ideally located near Gare Montparnasse
Set on the Left Bank, in the heart of the 14th arrondissement, the Graphik Montparnasse holds an excellent, strategic location at 131 avenue du Maine. Gare Montparnasse is just a few minutes' walk away, as is the Montparnasse-Bienvenüe metro station, your gateway to the rest of the capital. A few stops by metro take you to the Eiffel Tower, the Notre-Dame Cathedral on the Île de la Cité, the Latin Quarter with the Sorbonne and the Panthéon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Saint-Michel, Châtelet, the town hall (Hôtel de Ville) and the Louvre with its world-famous works of art.
This setting makes the Graphik an ideal starting point to explore Paris, discover a new view of the city and save time on every journey, whether your stay is for business or leisure. Travelers arriving by train enjoy the immediate proximity of the station, while guests landing at Charles de Gaulle airport can reach the hotel easily by public transportation. Lovers of long walks prefer to reach the historic Parisian bistros of the quartier on foot, the same ones once frequented by Modigliani, Picasso and Hemingway. The Jardin Atlantique garden above the station, the Tour Montparnasse and the lively boulevard Edgar Quinet complete a neighborhood full of character.
Bedrooms decorated like works of street art
Minimalist and ultra-designed, the 42 bedrooms of the Graphik Montparnasse revisit the idea of a contemporary art gallery: pure white sets the scene, then a hand-painted fresco dresses one wall to bring the space alive. A 10-square-meter single room for a solo city break, a double or twin for a weekend for two, a more spacious superior double, or a 17-square-meter superior triple ideal for families: every guest finds the right category, with a wide choice depending on the number of travelers. Some rooms are accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
For comfort, each renovated bedroom offers air conditioning, a flat-screen television, a streaming service, a desk, a wardrobe, a hairdryer, a telephone, a comfortable bed, a private bathroom with shower, a mini bar and free high-speed wifi. In the morning, open the curtain to reveal the fresco that has watched over you: every wake-up feels like a small discovery, an explosion of color after a quiet night surrounded by art.
Bar, breakfast and coworking: the services of the Graphik Montparnasse
The Graphik Montparnasse offers a full collection of services designed for the comfort of your stay. The day begins with a generous breakfast, made of artisan products selected from the best shops on the famous rue Daguerre: pastries, breads, jams, honey, yogurts, cheeses, charcuterie, fruit juices and hot drinks.
The Anamorphose bar and its Coffee Shop, the lounge bar of the establishment, welcomes you for a coffee, a drink or a gourmet break, around a 100% made-in-Paris drinks menu. When the weather is fine, the sunlit street-level terrace becomes the ideal spot to share a moment with friends or colleagues. Need to work? The coworking space, calm and connected with high-speed wifi, turns every work session into a real pleasure. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but you are welcome to contact our staff, who will be happy to point you toward the best addresses in the quarter and book a table for you. The 24-hour reception and wheelchair access complete a welcome worthy of a successful stay.
Montparnasse, a quarter where street art appears in the streets
Beyond the walls of the hotel, street art is everywhere in Paris, and Montparnasse is no exception. At the station, look up: two monumental Op Art frescoes by Victor Vasarely have been installed there since 1971. In the surrounding streets, the mosaics of the artist Space Invader hide on the corners of buildings, ready to be spotted by hunters of urban art. The capital saw the birth of stencil pioneers and graffiti artists such as Blek le Rat and Miss Tic, while local artists like Speedy Graphito and Ernest Pignon-Ernest helped earn recognition for the street art scene in France. From the early days of graffiti in New York City to today, world-famous names such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey have turned street art into a major form of contemporary art that speaks to people everywhere.
To extend the experience, many street art tours and guided walks cross Paris, and the district is full of cultural places: the Institut Giacometti, the Fondation Cartier known for its contemporary art exhibitions, the Espace Frans Krajcberg and the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse. History lovers can take a detour to the Catacombs or the Montparnasse cemetery. There is enough here to build a stay shaped by art, from the fresco in your bedroom to the graffiti and street art hidden across the city.
