Smaller hotels will probably not have A/C. Larger hotels and international chains will. And many of those hotels have beautiful air-conditioned lobbies and workspaces. Just like my advice for using the restroom in the Westin Place Vendôme, walk in with confidence, act like you are staying there, or meeting someone there, etc. Or head straight to the bar and order a coffee or a drink and nurse that baby for an hour!
It is light and airy even in the summer. If you have time (and you stay in the shade) it is the best 360-degree view of Paris you can get! Address: Pl. du Panthéon in the 5th and not too far from where Emily of Emily in Paris lives. The monument shows up often in scenes.
