Throughout the winter months, guests can relax in front of a roaring fire in the lounge, which opens onto a pretty cobbled terrace and has a well-stocked honesty bar and free snacks. Despite the lack of an on-site restaurant, the hotel's relaxed atmosphere, fantastic location, and free parking make it a top pick in this area of the city.

This boutique hotel, located in the 16th arrondissement in a former private mansion, is a great pick for those who are fans of lush decor and period furnishings. The lilac-hued lounge, which features an ornate marble fireplace with a gilt-framed mirror on the mantelpiece, is no exception. Pull up one of the elegant striped chairs and enjoy the crackling flames and cozy-yet-classical atmosphere. It's the to the hotel's rather fabulous Champagne bar.
