A stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe, Maison Elle revolves around the three principles that guide the international magazine that is its namesake: "the French art of living" (seen in the crisp black, white, and chrome decor littered with Parisian fashion shots); "smiling beauty" (its wellness area, yoga classes, and organic Dr. Hauschka toiletries and beauty products); and a feminine-centric spirit, inspired by the nearby Parisian fashion addresses beloved by stylish women. They could've added "coziness," as the hotel's 25 rooms range from small to minuscule. Still, its style, friendliness, top-notch amenities, in-hotel shop, and undeniable charm make it a good choice in a neighborhood short on chic and (comparatively) affordable lodging.

On a quiet side street a quick jaunt from the Champs-Élysées, this handsome newcomer channels a stylish mid-century aesthetic right out of Mad Men.

Sleek, earth-toned guest rooms offer designer furnishings in leather, nubby wool, and velvet, and chic original artworks provide jewel-toned accents. The hotel's intimate size, only 37 rooms, enhances a clubby atmosphere that’s most fitting in this posh-but-welcoming boutique hotel.
