"Over in Paris's tony eighth arrondissement, the Art Deco-style L'Hôtel du Collectionneur is a welcome departure from some of the city's softer, more obvious Belle Epoque lodgings—just take a glance at the gold leaf and black marble fanning the lobby, or the sumptuous purple velvet chairs lining its restaurant, for confirmation of the difference. The theme extends to the 478 rooms and suites, too—think Art Deco prints tacked up on the walls, and swirling, patterned bedskirts (bonus: a fraction of rooms also feature private terraces, and the occasional view of the Eiffel Tower). But best of all, visitors can amble around Parc Monceau, just across the street. It may not be as famous as its cousins, the Tuileries, or Jardin du Luxembourg, but it's equally beautiful—and far less crowded." - CNT Editors
