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

"Opened in 2019 by the Evok Collection as a private pied-à-terre on Place des Vosges, this 12-room conversion of the former Hôtel de Montbrun balances 17th-century character and contemporary edge—oversize windows, hand-painted beams and terra-cotta tiles sit alongside contemporary four-poster beds and stainless-steel walls; suites add kitchenettes, breakfast is served in-room only, and guests can retreat to an intimate Roman-style bath or the ground-floor tearoom, Brach La Pâtisserie, while sunny terrace seats offer classic people-watching beneath the arcades and Yann Brys’s award-winning pastries." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta
