Hotel Information: Behind a 19th-century façade, the hotel’s atrium-lit lobby has a 1930s style with polished black-marble floors, lacquered hardwood furnishings, statues, and textured earth-toned fabrics with touches of red. The central location near the Tuileries Gardens, Rue St-Honoré’s fashion boutiques, and the Paris financial district attracts business travelers and vacationers.

Amenity highlights: The hotel focuses on small luxuries as well as modern necessities. The fitness center’s swimming pool, steam room, and sauna are made with black slate and exotic woods, and provide a separate relaxation area and fitness room. The library off the main lobby, equipped with wireless Internet access (surcharge), has a wood-burning fireplace, tweed-covered sofas, and a selection of attractive coffee-table books.

Insider tip: An outdoor food market is held at the Place du Marché St-Honoré, two blocks from the hotel, every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning. A typical Parisian market, it’s the perfect place to buy cheeses, meats, and fruits for a picnic in the Tuileries Gardens.
