$$$$, Louvre/Tuileries
Fodor's Review:
Hiding behind a classic 19th-century facade is a fresh, contemporary hotel with subtle 1930s influences. Under a huge atrium skylight, the lobby's polished black marble floors, lacquered hardwood furnishings, neutral fabrics, and decadent antiques set the mood. The small library has free wireless Internet and a wood-burning fireplace, while the intimate Bar Chinois is decorated with elaborate Chinese wallpaper. Imported woods and black slate accent the hotel's sauna, steam room, and countercurrent swimming pool. Rooms have flannel fabrics and fluffy white comforters, with such modern amenities as flat-screen TVs, CD and DVD players, and free high-speed Internet. The marble bathrooms feature Bulgari toiletries and heated towel racks. Contemporary French and Basque-style cuisines are served in the hotel's Pinxo Restaurant.
