Fodor's Expert Review Hopper Hotel et cetera

The rooms in this former monastery in the Belgian Quarter are spare but not spartan, though a startlingly realistic sculpture of a bishop, sitting in the reception area, serves as a constant reminder of the building's ecclesiastic origins. Modern paintings by Cologne artists adorn the walls of the hotel, on a quiet street lined with ginkgo trees. The rooms are not huge but are well kept, and the atmosphere is airy. The smartly appointed restaurant Et Cetera serves upscale Mediterranean cuisine and has delightful garden seating.
