"Far from Paris tourist zones, the village-like Batignolles quarter has upped its cool cred recently with trendy bistros and bars packed with local bobos. Bold and beau, the design-forward Hotel L’Eldorado debuted in 2023. Eye-catching wallpaper and a melange of antiques create the ambience of a Parisian home—with a lovely garden. The hotel’s restaurant draws a fashionable crowd for the well-executed French fare and the atmosphere: Chinoiserie-inspired wallpaper, walls of porcelain plates, and a working fireplace in winter. The 26 guest rooms also showcase boldly patterned wallpaper; the palette in no. 5 (the Suite Eldorado) reflects the hotel’s garden greenery, and the balcony offers Eiffel Tower views. The Garden Deluxe (no. 30), with floral wallpaper, has a bathroom in green marble. Despite its small size, the L’Eldorado has a dedicated concierge to help you discover the neighborhood; Montmartre and the famous Puces de Saint-Ouen flea market are within walking distance." - Mary Winston Nicklin
