Le Derby Alma is an upscale, 33-room boutique hotel in a quiet neighborhood within a seven-minute walk of the Eiffel Tower and a four-minute walk to the Seine. The hotel has a small but stylish lobby bar and lounge and a small breakfast room that serves a daily buffet (though it's a little pricey), but there is no full restaurant or gym. Rooms are modern, clean, and fairly spacious for a central Paris hotel, and they include minibars with free soft drinks, iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi. Room service is available in the evening. Travelers could also consider Hotel La Bourdonnais, a comparable property even closer to the Eiffel Tower with a more classic look.
