Le Pavillon De La Reine

This chateau-styled boutique hotel is blessed with a remarkable location, on the Place des Vosges, in the Marais, in the heart of historic Paris. It is housed in an eighteenth-century mansion, and the décor is full-tilt historical - no stark modernism on display, and nothing that could reasonably...

LUMEN Paris Louvre

A little explanation in order to properly introduce the new Hotel Lumen: Paris is in another league when it comes to hotels — its enormous volume of tourist traffic combined with its general scarcity of real estate places it in the same pricey bracket as London or Tokyo. Combine that with a gener...

Mama Shelter

There’s a widening gap between the picture-book Paris and the real one. As with many great cities, New York and London among them, the center has a tendency towards preciousness, a sort of theme-park quality, a nostalgic romance, which the travel industry trades on heavily. You have to get all th...

Hospes Lancaster

The Hospes Lancaster is Paris’ most sophisticated gem: small and flawless without dazzle. Since this 1889 mansion was converted by hotelier Emile Wolf in the 1930’s, it has played host to the more refined of the celebrity set — Marlene Dietrich, Noël Coward, Grace Kelly. And even today...

One By The Five

It had to come to this, didn’t it? Ever since luxury hotels began to shrink, emphasizing the privacy and exclusivity that only a small hotel can offer, this day was coming: the dawn of the one-room hotel. And it’s only fitting that it would come to Paris, a city that’s almost comically short on h...

Park Hyatt Paris - Vendome

Leave the tourists to gawk at the ostentatious facade of the Hôtel Ritz on the Place Vendôme. The smart money is on (and presumably in) the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, just steps away, a row of discreetly converted Haussmann-style office blocks with only a small sign to mark the way. Her...

Pershing Hall

Pershing Hall is named for the American general John Pershing, who used this nineteenth-century mansion as his headquarters during the First World War. But anyone expecting this place to be some sort of museum, or a throwback to 1917 and before, will be in for a shock: the hotel as we know it tod...

Radisson Blu Le Dokhan’S Hotel, Paris Trocadero

In the crowded and often ostentatious world of Paris hotels, the Radisson SAS Dokhans sets itself apart—the feeling is less grand hotel, more private mansion, one impeccably designed by the noted decorator Frédéric Méchiche, whose antique selection and keen eye for color make hospitable order fro...

Relais Christine

A 16th-century abbey converted into a small and charmingly traditional boutique hotel would be special enough, were it located somewhere far out in the French countryside; in the heart of Paris’s Latin Quarter, however, it’s truly extraordinary. This is the Relais Christine, hidden aw...

Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg

Le Faubourg comprises two landmark buildings on rue Boissy d’Anglas, close to the Place de la Concorde. One of them was previously the headquarters of the Marie Claire magazines, the other the former Hotel St. Honoré. The location is fantastic, adjacent to the US embassy and quite near the ...

Standard Design Hotel Paris

The budget boutique has come to Paris. As improbable as it may seem in a city where high prices and high opulence rule the day, the Standard Design Hotel is a pared-down contemporary-design boutique hotel — in fact it’s reminiscent in terms of aesthetics and atmosphere of the similarly-named (but...

The Five Hotel

It’s never easy to let go of a comfortable old idea. We’ve gone on and on in these pages over the years about what a conservative lot Paris’s hotels are. The point was beginning to stretch a bit already, but now, on the occasion of the opening of the Five Hotel, it’s time ...

The Hotel Fouquet's Barriere

New hotels open all the time; new boutiques, new design hotels, new chain hotels. It’s not every day, though, that the curtain goes up on a new grand dame. It’s a lofty goal, to be sure, but that’s exactly what the Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière aspires to be. The Fou...
