Hôtel Henriette

Top choice in Paris


Interior designer Vanessa Scoffier scoured Paris' flea markets to source Platner chairs, 1950s lighting and other unique vintage pieces for the 32 rooms at bohemian Henriette – one of the Left Bank's most stunning boutique addresses. Guests can mingle in the light-flooded glass atrium and adjoining plant-filled patio with wrought-iron furniture. Prices vary a lot depending on demand and season – check the website.

Afternoon tea and cake and an early-evening aperitif with savoury tasting board is an intrinsic part of any stay. Breakfast €14.
