"Built as the Marquis de Sers’s private residence in 1880, I found this hotel retains Haussmann-era elegance with a gallery of 19th-century oil portraits, a sweeping staircase, and a bar anchored by an original white-marble fireplace. Its 52 rooms pair plush contemporary touches—chrome-and-oak furniture, plum and pearl-gray velvets, and marble bathrooms with Japanese-style sliding doors—with top-notch service (24-hour room service, a superb staff) and a pleasant gym that includes a sauna and a steam room; the rooms were redone in spring 2025, so the place feels fresh and chic." - Matt Ortile
