1.Hôtel Madame Rêve

Located within a historic Haussmannian building that served as the city’s first and only 24-hour post office, the Hôtel Madame Rêve is a new hotel for a new kind of Paris. Founded by French entrepreneur Laurent Taieb, the hotel is inspired by the building’s past and current inhabitants – it pays tribute to the former post office with bespoke carpets woven with stamp and telegram motifs and a collection of 800 pieces of mail art bought from a private collector hung throughout the rooms.

It’s a smart, stylish spot with 82 rooms and two restaurants, including a rooftop terrace with romantic city views. It’s also an ideal base for a trip to the Louvre, new Pinault Collection in the Samaritaine premium shopping center or the colonnaded Palais-Royale.

The hotel’s wellness floor is more like a private home, with two treatment rooms and a sauna for top-notch pumellings (although the caramel leather furniture is more Mad Men than Haussmann Paris). 400 solar panels provide half of the hot water on the roof, and there’s a high-tech thermal and acoustic insulation system.

2.La Réserve Paris

Built in 1854 as a townhouse for Napoleon III’s half-brother, this Paris hotel is one of the city’s most charming and refined boutique hideaways. Designed by Michel Reybier, this bijoux Haussmanian hotel is set down a leafy boulevard and lined with century-old trees.

It’s a calm and discreet atmosphere, with service that doesn’t feel stuffy at all. The staff are there just when you need them, giving you a warm welcome without imposing on you or making you feel rushed.

The rooms themselves are small and cozy, with silk walls and velvet drapes. They’re all well-appointed and spacious, featuring a range of amenities from Nescens anti-aging products to a flat-screen television.

The hotel’s two restaurants, Le Gabriel and La Pagode de Cos, both by acclaimed chef Jerome Banctel, offer contemporary French gastronomy that’s as innovative as it is delicious. Whether you’re dining alone or with a group, the experience is unforgettable.

3.Le Bristol Paris

Le Bristol is also a great choice for families because of its pet-friendly policies.

Having undergone a 27-month $450 million renovation, the Ritz still oozes opulence and glamour. Rooms are filled with discreet old-world French neoclassical and Grand Siecle style, featuring gilded mirrors and artworks, marble fireplaces and ornate draperies.

While some of the 142 rooms have modern technology (TVs are hidden inside gilt-framed mirrors, remote controls in leather boxes) it is subtly integrated so that the technology seems to fit into the decor rather than be the centre of attention. Those wanting to relax after a long day in the city should book one of the Suites, where the bathrooms are still clad in Italian marble with golden swan taps and peach-coloured bathrobes – M Ritz’s colour for highlighting a woman’s complexion.

The Suite Vendome reflects the history of the hotel, with a spacious bedroom and two salons. Seldom-seen photographs of Hemingway are a fitting tribute and the suite is home to a carefully stocked library.
