Grand Hôtel Pigalle

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Created by the cocktail-loving Experimental group, this is a sophisticated lifestyle hotel in south Pigalle (aka 'SoPi') with cocktail 'minibars' in its 37 beautifully crafted rooms and a fabulous restaurant–wine bar with a superb international wine list. Sunday brunch (€32) in the ground-floor lounge is well worth the advance reservation.
