Need a reasonable hotel in paris with nice bar
Too lonely for a solo traveler to stay in a hotel room all night, so I want to try a nice reasonable hotel, with a full service lounge or bar to sit in at night and just relax with a drink.
Open to suggestions.
Not into walking all over at night especially in November when I return again.
Single, divorced lady...on the sophisticated side.

When I go to Paris I usually rent a an apartment instead of an hotel room. I found it much nicer and you can rent the apartment for the same price of an hotel room.
The company I have used has very interesting apartments in Montmartre one of them is called Million Dollar Views, it is in Montmartre and in the street below it there are fantastic brasseries and a lot of life till very late at night.
Here is the link to the site of the company: http://www.paris-apartment-rent.com/.../abbesses.html. They have other apartments in the 5th district or 8th district. In Paris it will be very difficult not to find a nice bar in every street you go.
Otherwise, if you want something really sophisticated with a very good lounge and very good restaurant too there is nothing better in Paris then the Four Seasons Hotel George V, here is the link http://www.fourseasons.com/paris/
This hotel is used by may Americans.

At the Le Meridien Montparnasse, they have a piano bar, and lots of interesting people wandering in and out (African dignitaries in African garb, Hasidic diamond dealers, Japanese tourists, British families, etc.). You might do well with a large, business-oriented hotel like that, as the lounge and bar will definitely be full-service and have lots of people. I think Le Meridien Etoile has a well-known jazz bar.

I think there are a lot of good ideas here, except for the one about renting an apt. (anywhere, let alone Montmartre, which I think is a bad idea in your situation). Single travelers need more interaction with people, I think, and get it in a hotel, especially if you don't know the language or city. I travel alone a lot and actually often prefer a nice hotel to an apt. And for solo travelers, apts are often more expensive than a nice hotel, at least for the same level of comfort.
I was going to recommend the Aubusson, also, as they do have a good jazz bar, and the location is very central so will be good for your purposes. Also in St Germain, the hotel Lenox St Germain has a popular bar. I think a large business-y hotel like the Meridien would also be a good idea, as in a lot of smaller hotels, even if they have a bar, it isn't really the kind of place you want to hang out for hours and not many people frequent it. It's often just a few chairs and small.
