"Tucked down a quiet cobblestoned street behind an unmarked gate, I experienced this transformed 19th-century mansion as the ultimate private hideaway—once home to names like Rothschild and Hermès and overhauled by Pierre Lacroix in 2022 into five radically different suites (from serene nature-scene wallpaper to ruby-red lacquered walls, ceiling mirrors, and leopard-print pieces). Given there are only five suites it can be tough to score a room, but the downstairs restaurant and bar are open to an in-the-know public and attract Parisians from fashion, media, and celeb circles in the evenings." - Matt Ortile
