Fodor's Expert Review Paramount Hotel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Classic 1930s American movies seem to have been the inspiration for the interior of this medium-size hotel in the heart of Temple Bar—dark woods, leather, and subtle colors decorate the bedrooms, continuing the sleek, elegant look. The Paramount's classy Victorian facade gives way to the flashy wooden entrance, which looks more New York than London. The foyer strikes an elegant note with comfortable leather couches, bleached-blond-oak floors, and burgundy curtains. The Turks Head Bar has some nice Art Deco details.
