The theme of this intimate hotel is the work of former next-door neighbor Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, supplier of military aid to American revolutionaries and author of The Marriage of Figaro. First-edition copies of his books adorn the public spaces, and the salons reflect the taste of 18th-century French nobility -- down to the wallpaper and 1792 pianoforte. Richly decorated with floral fabrics and period furnishings, the rooms have original beams, hand-painted bathroom tiles, and gilt mirrors. Rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV and wireless Internet.
