Fodor's Expert Review L'Hôtel

13 rue des Beaux-Arts, Paris, Île-de-France, 75006, France

There's something just a bit playful in the air at this sumptuously beautiful boutique hotel, thanks to its history as an 18th-century pavillon d'amour (inn for trysts) and as the place where Oscar Wilde died in 1900 (Room 16, to be exact). Today, the intimate bar allows you to mingle with the Parisian beau monde, and an exposed stone grotto holds a countercurrent pool and steam room. 

PROS

  • interesting history
  • elegant bar
  • romantic swimming pool in the basement

CONS

  • some rooms are on the small side
