Paris is a city with a rich cultural heritage, adored by art lovers. And how better to enjoy your stay in the country than by staying in a luxury boutique hotel in the heart of the city?
Boutique hotels differ from regular hotels in that they’re not the regular chains – they’re something special and a little different. Our selection of boutique hotels in Paris include hotels like the Ampere Hotel – an extraordinary four-star hotel with a secret garden at it’s heart, beside it’s restaurant Le Jardin d’Ampere which offers some of the finest seafood in France. Les Jardins du Marais is a similarly luxurious boutique hotel, surrounding a magnificent courtyard seconds from the delightful Bastille area of France. Les Jardins du Marais is perfect for a calm, relaxing visit to Paris, housing beautiful private gardens and terraces, and is just a brief stroll from the Musée Picasso and the Place des Vosges.
Paris is a city renowned for luxury and it has some of the world’s best boutique hotels. Arguably the four best boutique hotels in Paris are One by the Five, Four Seasons George V, Hotel Le Bristol and The Hotel Fouquet’s Barriere. Each of these boutique hotels epitomises the level of splendour on offer for those looking to splash out on luxury accommodation on their Paris city break.
The One by the Five
The One by the Five in Paris’ Latin Quarter is a cutting edge boutique hotel. The reason for its unusual name is simple; it is a one-room hotel. This is because Paris is notoriously short on centrally based hotel space and so all that is available is quickly capitalised on. It is also situated across the road from The Five Hotel which owns and operates The One. This is an unusual set up and The One is essentially the main suite of The Five.
Residents in this luxury suite have to ring across the road for anything they desire such as room service however, service is speedy and the feeling of separation between its parent hotel is only a gratifying one. The room itself is plentiful on space and the interior is bold and inspiring. The One by The Five is the perfect retreat if browsing Paris’ Latin Quarter is high on the agenda.
The Four Seasons George V
If you are looking for a more palatial experience, The Four Seasons George V and its two hundred and forty five rooms make it the largest boutique hotel in Paris. Opened in 1928 and situated off the Champs-Elysées, the Four Seasons George V has become a main stay of the world’s top wealthy and famous people including Greta Garbo, JP Morgan, Marlene Dietrich and The Beatles.
As soon as you enter the Four Seasons George V, you’re instantly overcome with just how “French” everything is. The housekeepers in lacy caps and aprons, silk damask curtains and a bar for sipping on martini shamelessly flaunt the clichés of Parisian hotel luxury.
The Hotel Bristol
The Hotel Bristol is known to be the most well-mannered of the Paris boutique hotels and is named after an English lord and a bishop. It is indeed rather English in its restrained nature. It is also well known as the most romantic hotel in Paris, especially in spring when its window boxes are in full bloom. The Hotel Bristol also has an in-house Anne Semonin spa where guests can receive world renowned jet-lag facials.
Situated on the Champs-Elysées, The Hotel Bristol boasts the largest bathrooms in Paris along with what is said to be the best staff in the industry. Its individual style is a favourite with the fashion industry and during Paris’ fashion week is fully booked with all of its top names.
Located on the Champs-Elysées/Madelaine the Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière is a contemporary classic boutique hotel with aspirations to be the best in Paris. The Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière is a 21st-century palace hotel and more than pulls its weight when compared to the likes of classic five-star hotels such as Le Crillon and the Plaza Athenée. Its rooms are designed by Jacques Garcia and are the epitomy of modern luxury reminiscent of the styling of the late nineteenth century.
The Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière
The Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière has a one hundred year old restaurant that rivals the finest in all of Paris and as breakfast is included in the price of a room, guests can start the day with real Parisian luxury.
