Fodor's Expert Review Saint James Paris
43 av. Bugeaud, Paris, Île-de-France, 75116, France
This renovated, 19th-century mansion with a stone gateway and beautiful fountain feels like a countryside château nestled in the heart of the busy metropolis. A sybaritic spa, exercise room, and what is probably the city's most glorious hotel staircase forge a loyal following of guests who enjoy a clubby, upscale atmosphere day and night (it is also a private club). Belonging to the Relais & Châteaux collection of premium lodgings, the hotel is decorated in sumptuous fabrics, genteel antiques, and period furnishings. A quick 20-minute walk gets you to L'Arc de Triomphe.
