Where to Find Style-Savvy Sleeping in France

Strasbourg is renowned for its quaint beauty and architectural splendour, and the Regent Petite France and Spa Hotel -- situated in the Bas-Rhin area of Alsace -- rivals its surroundings in beauty and elegance. Facing outward the hotel has some of the most breath-taking views imaginable, and inside doesn’t disappoint either. The hotel lobby looks as though it should be a designer showroom, with perfectly pruned Japanese style trees and modern furnishings throughout. The spa is equally as luxurious and has wood-panelled walls and marble fittings.

Nothing says opulence like a chandelier in the bedroom and a mounted stag's head in the meeting rooms. Hotel Le Bouclier d'Or has its own spa, which is resemblant of underground caves, a breakfast room with as many antique furnishings as croissants, and Superior Rooms as large (but far more decadent) than a one-bedroom flat!

The real talking point of the Best Western Monopole Metropole is the bar. Complete with a beautiful domed atrium-style ceiling, the bar perfectly combines the antiquated with modern. Almost futuristic in its design, the whole room curves around the focal point -- which is a large polished wood bar in the centre.

Nothing says exclusivity and style like a hotel situated on a 27-hole golf course complete with spectacular views of the sea. Lounge chairs and parasols bedeck the outside area which also has a heated pool, restaurant, and three tennis courts… Grandiose doesn’t even come close to describing the kind of luxury that can be found at Hotel Du Gold Barriere.

If you’re searching for that quintessential French countryside chic feel, look no further than La Maison Du Parc. The hotel itself is an 18th-century country townhouse set in an expanse of manicured gardens and lawns.

Hotel Westminster is full of old-school French style. Overlooking the Mediterranean, the hotel has a private beach area, is situated within walking distance of Old Town Nice, and is home to a whole host of grand staircases and sumptuous finishings.

This hotel, for all intents and purposes, is the ultimate bachelor-pad-meets-man-cave. The spa and fitness centre, with all the latest mod-cons, is dimly lit with dark furnishings -- giving the space a masculine vibe. In the bedroom, the theme continues with deep purple draped curtains adding to the mysterious and sensual atmosphere. Illuminated by a red light, the bar is lit up -- but the seating area remains shrouded in dim light and dark mahogany furnishings.

The extravagance of this hotel is best illustrated by the amazing pool overlooked by the imposing French mountainside. Just in case that’s not extravagant enough for you, the bar has a grand piano in it and the hotel has an incredible spa and dining area.
