A hotel search in Paris can be overwhelming. There are far more options than you can ever check into.
I prefer to stay in boutique hotels in Paris France over large chain hotels.
A small, stylish hotel, usually located away from the main touristy areas of a city. Where the focus is on the details. From the personalized service to the cocktail hour and most definitely the décor. Those highly stylized spaces often themed, are ahead of the curve on design trends.
One of the best Paris luxury boutique hotels I’ve stayed in was Pavillon de la Reine, and other favourite Parisian boutique hotels I’ve stayed at include Adele & Jules, Hotel Paradis and Le General Hotel Paris.
