1. Hôtel Molitor Paris (16th Arr.)

The "Piscine Molitor," a swimming facility born in the 1920s, was a notable Art Deco architectural gem and a minor sensation in Paris at the time. After closing in 1989, it lay abandoned for over 20 years before reopening last year. "Hôtel Molitor," part of the facility, is a trendy new spot designed by architect Jean-Philippe Nuel.

2. Hôtel de Nell (9th Arr.)

Hôtel de Nell achieves a masterful balance that could be described as a textbook example of minimalism in hotel design. It exudes a calm, serene warmth and a profound sense of texture that emphasizes simplicity. The restaurant is the third outpost of "La Régalade," helmed by rising star chef Bruno Doucet, a favorite among discerning locals.

3. Hôtel Vernet (8th Arr.)

Hôtel Vernet, with over a century of history, was reborn last year under new French ownership and the direction of François Champsaur. While retaining its beautiful Haussmannian architecture and the glass dome illuminating the lounge, it boasts an elegant and contemporary design befitting its iconic location just off the Champs-Élysées, near the Arc de Triomphe.

4. Les Dames du Panthéon (5th Arr.)

The female owner of this hotel, located right next to the Panthéon, felt compelled to pay homage to Marie Curie, the only woman interred among France's great figures in the Panthéon. With the theme of "free and independent women," each floor features tributes to figures like Édith Piaf and Marguerite Duras, creating a stylish and sophisticated space that defines the hotel's unique character.

5. Les Bains Paris (3rd Arr.)

Les Bains, which opened this year, once boasted a glamorous past as a legendary nightclub, rivaling New York's Studio 54. After closing, it served as a street art exhibition space before recently reopening as a hotel. Retaining some of the interior design by a young Philippe Starck, it has been transformed into a space brimming with creative flair, incorporating Baroque and Bohemian elements.
