Maison Souquet

"How did it strike you on arrival?For many travelers, this is peak Paris. Ideally located for exploring the Left Bank, this boutique four-star was owned until 2022 by celebrity chef Yves Camdeborde—whose much-lauded Le Comptoir sits on the ground floor—has earned loyalists with its warm service, quirky charm, and high-quality in-house eats. Perhaps as a nod to the nearby Sorbonne, literature is the main theme, with shared spaces filled with books, and lots of clubby nooks in which to read them. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Leave the kids, and computer, at home: this place is made for romance, so you'll likely be among other privacy-seeking couples. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.The 20 rooms and suites are each named after a famous courtesan, and have been designed in one of five styles: Indian, Chinese, Japanese, 18th-century, or Napoleon III. All have been crafted to feel like a decadent love nest, with stuffed headboards, fabric-covered walls, velvet chairs, and low-lighting courtesy of heart-shaped, fringe-topped lamps. Close to 2,200 yards of 120 different silks were painstakingly selected to create these cocoons—a testament to Garcia’s attention to detail. Junior Suites offer even more opulence and space to spread out, while the two-bedroom suites include two distinct living areas. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?Amid all the patterns and textures, the beds are kept simple: fresh white linens, no other distractions. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Bathrooms have either tubs or walk-in showers in which to use the Hermès products. There's even some Hermès perfume for a little pre-bedtime spritz. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wi-Fi is complimentary. Room service: Worth it?Room service is available around-the-clock (unusual for a small hotel), and features ingredients sourced from area producers and artisans. Breakfast can be served in-room, as well. Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?Every room is attended to by a butler, many of whom trained at the city's top hotels, and can help craft the perfect city experiences. They're also discreet, and will be as attentive—or invisible—as you like. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.Indulge at Le Comptoir for gourmet bistro menus crafted with fresh local products, paired with incredible vintages. At L’Avant Comptoir, a separate space a few doors down for casual pre-dinner or late-night drinks, you’ll find charcuterie, cheese, and other shared bites. Spa services are available in-room upon request, via an outside provider. Bottom line: worth it, and why?If these rooms don't inspire a sexy lost weekend, nothing will." - Sandra Ramani
