The 52 Best Hotels in Paris
"On a quiet backstreet of Paris’s bustling Little India, where the heavenly aroma of curries simmering in restaurant kitchens hangs in the air, a six-story limestone corner building glints in the daylight near one of the city's oldest subterranean train stations as well as the Gare du Nord (hence the name). The first hotel designed by rising star Luke Edward Hall, Les Deux Gares has Hall’s playful optimism splashed all over the bold-hued rooms. The property effortlessly flits between styles and patterns to create a color-splashed world that’s theatrical, yet welcoming. Rates are a bargain by Paris standards, where a room with the slightest design flair will usually set you back double the prices here (at least)—the same also applies to the wonderful Café Les Deux Gares. The location is a more local spin on Paris, yet still within a 10-minute walk to the city’s trendiest areas." - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta
