"A small, late-19th-century hotel on rue de Rivoli facing the Tuileries Gardens with 62 rooms and a strong sense of history—mosaic floor tiles and original marble columns recall its origins serving British Grand Tour travelers. Although compact and without a restaurant or spa, the antique-filled junior suites and suites at the front offer glorious garden views; the property is part of an Esprit de France collection that emphasizes French heritage and provides insider guides for guests." - Mary Winston Nicklin
