Editorial Review

Lodged in a Haussmann-style mansion, this address offers a stunning combination of Victorian-era class and contemporary aesthetics. Thomas Vidalenc’s design harmoniously juxtaposes old and new throughout the public spaces: mid-cent-mod wingbacks sit beneath patinated portraits in the gallery hall, while red and gold Louis XIV armchairs offer counterpoint to the strict rectilinear reception desk. Bedrooms feature adjustable lighting, rosewood and steel furnishings and white marble bathrooms. The panoramic suites are stunning, with views even from the double-backed clawfoot tubs. The Zen-cool patio with young catalpa trees is a great summer retreat. €480–€650 for non-suite stays.
