A family-run Auvergne-themed hotel in a quiet area
Not all the avenues in Paris are as wide as one may expect, and Avenue Villemain is actually a short, narrow deserted street which begins at Rue d'Alesia. Generally speaking, the area between Rue Didot and Plaisance underground station is not the most lively of areas, but luckily if you walk up rue Raymond Losserand you will soon be in amongst it all in the district of Pernety. Failing that, the brasseries and cinema at the crossroads of Alesia are only a ten-minute walk away.
The twenty-five rooms are all different, which explains why the Vidal family turns away groups, to avoid any jealousies. Simplicity is the name of the game. The floors are carpeted (except in the corridors, where the old parquet has been kept), the walls covered in turquoise wallpaper, and there is a wicker box and a desk... and that's your lot! The advantage of the rooms overlooking the street is their sunny aspect. The bathroom is a pleasant surprise too: it is nice and spacious and clean, and still has a bidet.
The ageing façade of the Fred does not look too tempting a prospect, and the rather dark entrance hall decorated with Harley Davidson posters does little to help. It is therefore quite a surprise to find the breakfast room is brand new, and decorated with pictures of Blesle, a village in the Auvergne. Behind this decor is the story of a family which began when the grandfather founded the hotel in 1925. Since then, it has passed into the hands of his children and grandchildren, who continue to welcome back loyal guests.
Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

This is a hotel full of French style in which no copies or reproductions will be tolerated. The Bristol is one of the few luxury hotels in Paris that belongs to a European family (German) rather than one of the great families of Asia or the United Arab Emirates. Stylish, classy and refined, the Bristol holds great importance in the quality and authenticity of its features and materials. Its gourmet restaurant attracts a demanding clientele that is fond of excellent cuisine.
The George V is one of the most prestigious Parisian palaces in the city. You barely have to cross the threshold before realising you are entering a hotel in which luxury, perfection and indulgence are the name of the game. Boasting rooms fit for a princess, impressive lounges and a Michelin-starred restaurant, the George V ticks all the boxes when it comes to satisfying even the most demanding of guests. The interior designer Pierre Yves Rochon oversaw the complete refurbishment of the building in 1997, and has since then continued to make improvements to the decor in the 18th Century style.
The latest Parisian palace to open its doors on 1 August 2014. The French chic and sophistication goes perfectly with the Asian elegance in the magnificent building dating from 1908. This is the Peninsula Group's first hotel to open in France but also in Europe.
The latest Parisian luxury hotel, the Shangri-La will seduce a demanding clientele that will know how to appreciate the richly ornate Empire style of this particular hotel. Nothing more can be said about the lengths taken to find the materials, designs, and other accessories that contribute to recreating the atmosphere of the 19th century, while at the same time offering the comfort and modernity of the 21st century. This extremely shiny and ornate Empire style may scare away some potential guests, however, it is still a real privilege to stay in this residence previously owned by a prince, the great nephew of Napoleon.
It took five Haussmanian buildings to bring the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme into existence, and it is the first luxury hotel in Paris to be designed in a contemporary fashion. Comfort, style and impeccable service all come together here in a younger, more modern setting.
Inaugurated on 28 February 2012, the W Paris - Opera has finally opened in the City of Light. The Starwood brand linked to fashion and trends thus has its own prestigious establishment in Paris.
Nestled in a 19th century building, the hotel is in a great location. Design and modernity, with a conceptual touch, all come together here. Its designer is in the best position to explain why, since we're not sure it's really clear otherwise, but the W Paris-Opera is centred around the theme The Spark. The establishment thus defines itself as a "spark", creating a fictitious connection between the very first W hotel in New York and its newest sibling in Paris.
At the heart of the Opera district, the W can already rely on its guests who are fans of the brand and hopes that word of mouth will make it the place to be in the area; not just for its rooms but for its restaurant and bar as well.
Confidentiality is the order of the day at this very upmarket establishment, perfect for VIPs looking for a little discretion, and private events are also held here.
The Meurice is one of Paris's best addresses. With its contemporary yet quintessentially Parisian décor realised by great names such as Stark and his daughter. The Meurice is an exclusive haunt. the hotel's main restaurant, Le Meurice, is headed by 3 Michelin star Chef Yannick Alléno which is, needless to say, one of the highlights of a stay at the hotel. In a fantastic location right opposite the Jardin des Tuileries, the rooms are tastefully decorated and the service is impeccable.
