$$$$, St-Germain-des-Prés
Fodor's Review:
The staff greets you warmly at this 17th-century town house and former literary salon. The showpiece is the stunning salon spanned by massive beams and headed by a gigantic fireplace. Decked out in rich burgundies, greens, or blues, the bedrooms are filled with Louis XV-and Regency-style antiques and Hermès toiletries; even the smallest rooms are a generous size by Paris standards. Behind the paved courtyard, where breakfast or predinner drinks are served, there's a second structure with three apartments, which are ideal for families. The hotel's Café Laurent hosts jazz three times per week. All returning guests (and new guests who book at least four nights) get special VIP treatment such as champagne and flowers on arrival.
