The Best Independent and French-Owned Hotels in Paris Now - AFAR

"Set behind a stone-gated driveway and landscaped gardens in the 16th arrondissement, this family-owned château-hotel feels like a bucolic private estate with just 50 rooms (renovated in 2021 by Laura Gonzalez to resemble a collector’s home), a Guerlain spa and pool, a wood-paneled library bar with seasonally sourced cocktails, and a Michelin-starred Bellefeuille restaurant whose chef, Grégory Garimbay, emphasizes seasonal organic ingredients grown in the hotel’s Fontainebleau vegetable garden—an offering that underlines the property’s Old World vibe, sustainability focus and joie de vivre on the plate." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta
