Where to Stay on the Left Bank, According to Paris Insiders - AFAR

"Opened in December 2023 on Rue de Buci, Villa-des-Prés is a compact, art-rich hotel that feels like a younger, luxe sister to Hôtel d’Aubusson; I noticed contemporary French artworks from the nearby Amélie Maison d’Art throughout its 34 rooms and suites. Designer Bruno Borrione customized elements such as leather headboards and multi-shelved side tables, the top-floor apartments offer panoramic city views, and all rooms feature red-accented bathrooms with intricate mosaic tiles, marble sinks and Diptyque bath products. The hotel also restored stained-glass windows with Ateliers Duchemin, a studio involved in Notre-Dame’s window restorations." - Lindsey Tramuta, Mary Winston Nicklin
