The 52 Best Hotels in Paris
"This cheery, recently opened four-star hotel near the Opera is both a fun hangout spot with live events and a comfortable place in which to relax (especially thanks to your private hot tub). Just blocks from the Palais Garnier and other historic performance arts venues, as well as the iconic Galeries Lafayette department store, Chouchou does it all with a food hall-style restaurant and breezy bar centered around a rotating roster of live music and other stage events. On the visitor front, the crowd represents both business and leisure visitors who value a sense of place and want to be close to all the action. You’ve got your choice of fun in the 9th arrondissement, too, from a selection of smaller museums to notable shopping and the restaurants of South Pigalle. With a base here, you’re also close to the luxury stores of the 8th, the Montmartre area (including Sacre-Coeur), and even—if you head south towards the river—the Louvre." - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta
