Finding things do when visiting Paris is not a hard thing to do. The Eifel Tower, The Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral – all these places people know about without even consulting their guide books. But what about later in the evening when you need a nice place to relax at before the evening and night ahead? When in Paris, you of course have to take a nap together with a nice Calvados to wash the days of walking away. In later years, many very nice hotels have popped up to put the larger chains of hotels to shame when it comes to interior design and decoration. In this article I will give you a list of some of my favorite hotels in Paris.

The Five Hotel can be considered more of a hotel of happening rather than a hotel of design. You not only get to choose what room color fits you the best – such as green, purple, black - you also have to decide on what type of smell you want to be greeted with once you enter it. The hotel’s broadloom carpets are absolutely drenched in colors – an optical noise of great magnitude. The hotel is located in the middle of the Latin quarters which gives you quite a cultural clash of two worlds; traditional on the outside and hyper modern on the inside. Their address is 3 Rue Flatters, Arrondissement Five.

I can only describe Hotel Amour as one of the coolest hotels in Paris, hands down. This is located in a former brothel that has been spruced up by one of the Costes brothers – famous restaurateurs in Paris. You will not find and TVs, air conditioning or Wi-Fi here. On the other hand you could always plug in you IPod, enjoying the totally freaked out furnishing – different designers have been used for all of the hotel’s rooms. Go for a decent meal in the back garden as well, there are often release parties happening on the terrace. Beware; sometimes your lunch may be interrupted by quite audible moans coming from one of the rooms, which may also be rented for only an afternoon for that matter. The address is 8 Rue de Navarin in Arrondissement Nine.

Christian Lacroix was given free reins here at Hotel Bellechasse, and because he is not one of those strict Yves Saint Laurent types of people, the colors in all of the thirty four rooms completely explode. This is as far away from grey and mundane minimalism as you probably can get. Instead, all the rooms sport different tailor made designs. They all have sort of a bourgeois eighteen hundreds kind of feel to them though. In other words, it all resembles the chique -ness of the left beach that you can view from your window; very chique, very French. Hotel Bellechasse’s address is 8 Rue de Bellechasse.

Hotel Particulier Montmartre is for those who can afford to get a room at the Ritz, but have the good taste to instead choose a super luxury bed and breakfast. A very bourgeois building with a garden on the hill of Montmartres, re-built into five separate suites. The Finn Mats Haglund has picked out all of the interior furnishing and design. This place is a pure gallery of modern design in itself. You will find items here by artist ranging from Arne Jacobsen to Mies van der Roohe. Private dinners – or Chambre Separe – can also be arranged. The hotel is located at 23 Avenue Junot in the eighteenth Arrondissement.
