This boutique hotel is nestled in a quieter, more residential part of the neighborhood around the Eiffel Tower, close to the Rue Cler market area and the grandiose Invalides. Travelers who want to stay near the big sights but want a more local feel will appreciate the location. Meanwhile, the 4-star hotel itself is elegant and warm, blending old-fashioned Parisian charm with distinctively contemporary touches. And with two gourmet restaurants right on the premises, it's a big drawcard for travelers with curious palates.
The cozy, whimsically decorated rooms and suites here are ideal for style and design fans, featuring Art-Deco style wallpaper, warm industrial-style lamps, leopard-print throws, in-room sound system, iPad, art books, and prints. Unfortunately, there's no elevator, which makes the hotel inaccessible for certain visitors with limited mobility. Downstairs, try a decadent and copious brunch at the Brasserie Thoumieux, a historic Parisian dining room that's been restored to all its former glory. The brunch? It's the only one in France to boast a Michelin star. Or book a Michelin-starred dinner at the adjoining Restaurant Sylvestre Wahid, whose chef of the same name earned two Michelin stars for his creative, beautiful dishes.
