One of Paris's more accessibly priced design hotels, this grand 18th-century hôtel particulier in the 2nd arrondissement was once home to a counsellor to Louis XIV, now reimagined as a lively, modern-bohemian bolthole by Ennismore. Rooms designed by Humbert & Poyet nod to mid-century French design icons through chevron floors, cornicing, and bold feature walls, while two cobblestoned inner courtyards anchor a buzzy social scene. Three distinct drinking and dining spots include Rivié, an all-day French brasserie, Jacques' cocktail bar tucked up a spiral staircase, and Planche, a biodynamic wine bar. Stylish, attainable, and plugged into the neighbourhood.
