"A Roaring Twenties–inspired art-deco landmark on the corner of Boulevard Raspail and Rue du Bac that reopened after a head-to-toe 2024 renovation, featuring antique mirrors, embroidered fabrics, crystal chandeliers and a sky-frescoed original staircase. The all-day Annette restaurant showcases a brasserie menu overseen by Bruno Brangea (pâté en croûte, œufs mimosa, beef tartare), while the Officine Bac cocktail den offers botanically inspired drinks by Oscar Blackstone; amenities include a gym, a refresh room for red-eye arrivals, and suites with all-inclusive minibars and Eiffel Tower views. One suite functions as a rotating showroom of 20th- and 21st-century furniture and decorative arts available for purchase." - Mary Winston Nicklin
