Hôtel du Jeu de Paume

Top choice in Paris


Romantically set in a courtyard off Île St-Louis' main street, this contemporary four-star hotel occupies a 17th-century royal tennis court. Its 30 rooms are each inspired by a different modern artist. Panton chairs add a design edge to the historic beamed and exposed-stone-walled house, and its leafy patio garden is divine. Facilities include a wellness centre. Breakfast is €18.
