"Facing the Place des Vosges, I found this family-owned hotel’s ivy-covered 17th-century façade and private garden courtyard to be a fairytale come to life when lit up; inside, Didier Benderli’s interiors blend original antiques, marble fireplace mantels, and richly colored oil portraits with contemporary furnishings for a vibe that’s both plush and unfussy. The 56 rooms and suites each have a different style and decor, so I’d advise asking in advance whether you prefer antique or modern." - Matt Ortile
