There's something just a bit playful in the air at this sumptuously beautiful boutique hotel, thanks to its history as an 18th-century pavillon d'amour (inn for trysts) and as the place where Oscar Wilde died in 1900 (Room 16, to be exact).

Set in a 1930s former France Telecom exchange, the Art Deco–era building's streamlined contours create the ideal setting for spaces that mix modern elegance with high-tech advances, while making the most of some very Parisian views of nearby Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower a few blocks away.
