"After three years of renovations, the former Grand Hotel Bachaumont—which checked out its last guests in the ’70s—has been transformed into a local-loved, Art Deco dream. Designed by Dorothée Meilichzon, the breezy spaces are accented by black-and-white geometric tiles, marble floors, and sculptural furniture. Swap Instagram follows with a young, buzzy crowd of foodies, trendy Parisians, and travelers in search of the "real" Paris. The intimate Bar Chaumont is the place for creative cocktails and tapas, while the daily breakfast and Sunday brunch get laid out in the eponymous restaurant or on the terrace. Though the smaller rooms may seem like a splurge given their size, the excellent location in the Montorgueil neighborhood is surrounded by an array of foodie favorites and indie shops for instant local cred." - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta
