Discreet, contemporary elegance, just steps from the hustle-and-bustle of the Champs-Elysées is what you'll find at this gracious, thoroughly welcoming seventh-floor town house. No detail has been overlooked, from sumptuous fabrics in plums, browns, and grays—Marie-Antoinette would have lusted after these silks for her dresses—to Hermès toiletries, fresh flowers, and jazz on the in-room stereo. Rooms and bathrooms are more than spacious, and higher floors have lovely views of the city. Great care has been taken to make the gym, hammam, and sauna areas fresh and welcoming with plants and mirrors, and spaces that aren't claustrophobic. Pros: extremely comfortable spaces; attentive service; central location. Cons: neighborhood is too chichi to have much character; small (but charming) elevator.
