Cour des Vosges

Top choice in Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville

LoginSave

Painted ceiling beams, period terracotta and a mesmerising collection of art, books and curiosities only adds to the exceeding charm of this five-star boutique pied à terre, hidden in a 17th-century hôtel particulier (mansion) on Paris' most beautiful square. Twelve rooms and suites are a sharp mix of new and old, and all gaze romantically out across place des Vosges.

The vaulted cellar squirrels away a pampering Roman bath with toasty whirlpool, and the hotel's chic salon de thé (tea room) – with a terrace beneath place des Vosges' signature arcades – serves pâtisserie (cakes) like jewels.
