This cathedral-facing hotel with a glamorous exterior is convenient and central, with 29 rooms that come in three categories. The attached restaurants, the splendid La Grande Salle (menus €30 to €45), housed in a glorious Second Empire salon, and the more affordable Brasserie Le 9e (menus €13 to €23), are some of the best in town.
Hint: angle for one of the renovated Privilege rooms, which are more enticing and better value.
