The Best Hotels in Paris | Vogue

"Situated a few blocks from its fellow grande dames in the 8th and tucked on one of the boulevards radiating from the Arc de Triomphe, this haven is within walking distance of major sights while feeling removed from the tourist chaos. Step inside to Philippe Starck’s late-’00s refurbishment that leans toward his more subdued side, recalling the 1930s heyday and emphasizing creativity—from a pioneering art concierge offering private guided museum and gallery visits to custom pieces in light, breezy rooms whose desks are inlaid with a Starck-designed map of Paris. Culinary options are second to none: the first Nobu Matsuhisa in Paris serves Japanese‑Peruvian dishes in a colossal, dramatically lit dining room, while Michelin‑starred Il Carpaccio—created with Da Vittorio—offers decadent riffs on Italian classics; don’t miss the signature paccheri made with three types of tomatoes. No surprise it’s as popular with Parisians on a Friday night as with its jet‑set clientele." - Vogue
