The Best Hotels in Paris | Vogue

"The rich and illustrious history here is mindboggling: with sweeping views over the Tuileries Gardens and origins dating back over two centuries, the hotel has hosted everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to Mata Hari, with Salvador Dalí spending a month here annually for three decades; Émile Zola, Andy Warhol, and Bob Dylan roaming its corridors; and Picasso hosting his wedding reception. That creative spirit still courses through its playful, iconoclastic interiors—from the surreal sculpture in the lobby to the breathtaking dining-room ceiling painting by Ara Starck—while the 160 rooms and suites deliver classic grand-hotel stylings in creams and powder blues with delicately marbled bathrooms, and a flagship two-Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse restaurant whose whimsical fine dining matches the hotel’s character." - Vogue
