Hotel Fouquet’s Barrière *****


46 Avenue George V  map
Bar, Bedroom, Restaurant, Swimming pool, Steam room, Sauna, Gym, Spa, Free Wi-Fi   Updated: 03-13-2013


There are many who would say that Fouquet’s is the best luxury boutique hotel in Paris.  They have a strong argument. The hotel’s location, just off Champs Élysées, is undeniably excellent.  The spacious guestrooms and suites, styled by Jacques Garcia, the internationally renowned French interior designer, are beautifully refined and superbly equipped – even the bathrooms have LCD TV’s.

But the real claim to fame can be attributed to the fabulous service.  You are pampered from check-in to checkout.

Fouquet’s has its own spa, featuring one of the largest indoor pools in Paris, a fitness room, sauna and steam room. WiFi is freely available throughout the hotel.  Dining options include Le Fouquet’s – a destination in its own right  for the rich and famous.  Gay scene-wise, the bars & clubs in Le Marais can be reached in 10 minutes by taxi or metro.  Metro – George V

Real WOW factor!

W Paris Opera Hotel

W Paris – Opéra *****


4 Rue Meyerbeer  map
Bar, Bedroom, Cafe, Restaurant, Internet Access, Gym   Updated: 03-13-2013


This hotel, the very first ‘W’ in France, opened its doors earlier in 2012.  Many were wondering how the W concept would translate within an elegant 1870s Haussmann-era building located in one of the most historical and exclusive areas of the French capital.  Was the W high-energy concept going to be toned down?

No, not really.

The hotel offers 91 rooms and suites that management believe are best described as ‘Wonderful’,  ’Spectacular’, ‘Fantastic’, ‘WOW’ and ‘Extreme WOW’.  These rooms types are largely differentiated by size and view.  They offer a swirl of the classical and vivid, cutting-edge design and all the high tech stuff that we’ve come to expect from this brand.  The signature W bed is undeniably one of the best in the trade, the Munchie Box is too tempting, and we love the Bliss bathroom products.  WiFi is available for a fee.

Hôtel Plaza Athénée Paris
