These Are the 14 Best 4-Star Hotels in Paris - AFAR
"When it opened nearly 10 years ago, Hotel Providence quickly became a hangout for Parisians. This bijou 18-room retreat is the first hotel for Pierre Moussié, a restaurateur behind trendy addresses like the Brasserie Barbès and the Bouillon République. He teamed up with his wife, Elodie Moussié, and friend Sophie Richard to transform a Haussmannian townhouse on a quiet cobblestone street in the 10th arrondissement. Public spaces are thrumming with energy, from the breakfast café crème on the leafy terrace to the nightcap at the bar. A design tour de force, the hotel has vibrant colors and antiques. The playful House of Hackney wallpaper lends an air of the English country house. Each room is done in a different wallpaper, like the bird print in the Deluxe (the most requested room), and the green foliage in suite no. 62, the largest room at 484 square feet. From the spacious bathroom, you can see the gleaming white dome of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. In-room amenities include a cocktail bar and a fridge stocked with local Demory beer and cans of wine. The staff go the extra mile—there’s even a dedicated concierge (Pauline) who helps guests experience the city’s unique facets by arranging such activities as guided street art tours." - Mary Winston Nicklin
