Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Paris.

Saint James, Paris

“The elegant, primarily residential 16th arrondissement is a fitting location for Saint James Paris, the city’s only officially designated château-hotel. Set in a neoclassical former private residence and surrounded by a sizable structural garden, the property intentionally keeps a low profile.”

Hotel Lutetia, Paris

“Determined to honor Lutetia’s glamour, architect Wilmotte cut the room count down to 184 and enlarged the 47 suites, adding Hermès silk throw pillows, Art Deco-style pieces by Poltrona Frau and Statuario marble in the bathrooms; the bigger rooms have balconies with views of the Eiffel Tower.”

Hotel Brach, Paris

“After a four-year renovation overseen by designer Philippe Starck, the resulting hotel is as much about a lifestyle as it is a place to crash. For one thing, the buzzing restaurant draws fashionable locals from breakfast until the early hours with its patisserie, plates to share, and potent drinks.”

Le Citizen Hotel, Paris

“This alluring 12-room boutique hotel on the banks of Canal St-Martin was the first to bring iPads, filtered water and a warm minimalist design to this once-edgy part of town.”

“Hôtel Parister is more reasonably priced than some of Paris’s other stays, and it’s a bargain considering your relative proximity to big-budget landmarks like Palais Garnier. If you’re a design nerd, and get a high off those Mod/mid-century vibes, this is totally and unabashedly right for you.”

Hotel de Crillon – A Rosewood Hotel, Paris

Hostel Les Piaules, Paris
