BOUTIQUE HOTELS
Le Royal Monceau Hotel
An extravagant two-year Philippe Starck facelift later, Paris’ most palatial hotel has reopened. The glitterati bolthole is now one arty - and pricey - boutique.
Hôtel du Petit Moulin
Christian Lacroix’s joyous property, hidden behind the sobering façade of Paris’ oldest bakery embodies baroque, sci-fi, playful pop and orientalist Zen.
Ascott Arc de Triomphe
Super modern, Japanese minimalism in a glass house set around a Zen central garden.
Hôtel Daniel
Orientalism and a Wunderkammer collector’s mentality, locked up in 18th century France – minimalist it aint.
Le Placide
A home away from home in a cosy townhouse, with contemporary, light filled rooms and an olive tree filled courtyard.
Hotel Sezz
Strong red and black interiors, exposed grey stone walls and ultra-modern furniture practically sizzle with raw, masculine sex appeal.
