Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Lancaster
7 rue de Berri, Paris, Île-de-France, 75008, France
Once a Spanish nobleman's town house, this luxurious retreat dating from 1889 dazzles with its elegant decor, lush courtyard, and acclaimed restaurant. Rooms reflect l'art de vivre, with classic French styling, crisp linens, ambient lighting, and the latest technology. There are more than a thousand antiques and 18th-century paintings throughout the hotel, as well as the original wood parquet floors, yet you'll also find Bose speakers, and double-paned soundproof windows. The Marlene Dietrich Suite (No. 401), where the actress once lived, has its own grand piano and DVDs of her films.
