"A 20-room property near Place de la Concorde/Tuileries tucked behind a teal carriage entrance on rue Cambon that evokes the feel of a private Parisian pied-à-terre; historically the 19th-century residence of Stendhal, it later hosted figures such as Serge Gainsbourg and Nina Simone. Reception sits on the sixth floor under the eaves in a chic salon with a marble fireplace and velvet seating, while the guest rooms resemble small apartments with parquet floors, decorative moldings and custom furniture spread across the top floors, offering views over Paris rooftops. The hotel is part of the Esprit de France collection and emphasizes elegant, apartment-like interiors." - Mary Winston Nicklin
