A rare gem set in a quiet street filled with art galleries, L'Hotel is a dramatic expression of Parisian panache with excitingly decadent decor, a Michelin-starred restaurant, a romantic small pool and sauna in the cellars, and original works of art by Jean Cocteau, set in the heart of St-Germain-des-Pres. An impressive spiral staircase leads to six floors of opulent individually-styled rooms and suites, each a cocoon of wonderfully lavish rich fabrics with original works of art and indulgent bathrooms. Once the home of an impoverished Oscar Wilde, who rented a room here, handwritten notes by the writer are displayed in the lobby lounge. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the restaurant terrace and then take the short walk to Boulevard St. Germain. Return after a day s shopping or sightseeing to dine at the hotel s piece de resistance, Le Restaurant, where superb French cuisine created by chef, Philippe Belissent, is enjoyed from deeply comfortable armchairs or sofas set around the tables. L'Hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
