Hôtel Monte Cristo

The 14 Best 4-Star Hotels in Paris - AFAR

"A 50-room, literature-inspired property that channels The Count of Monte Cristo with a cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetic—exotic stuffed birds, an apothecary-style reception desk and globally sourced objets d’art—and offers immersive themed suites (for example, the Haydée junior suite referencing Ottoman motifs). Extensive renovations before its 2018 opening added two floors and created an underground 55-foot pool and sauna; Bar 1802 evokes a tropical rum bar atmosphere and is noted as one of France’s largest rum bars with rare bottles, while upper-floor boudoir rooms provide private balconies overlooking rooftops and close walking access to rue Mouffetard and other Latin Quarter attractions." - Mary Winston Nicklin
