"Tuileries Garden There are plenty of stylish touches for kids at this Parisian grande dame of a hotel, starting with the fact that the hotel’s high chairs are designed by none other than Philippe Starck. You’ll find the designer's touch throughout the property, including in the whimsical Le Dali restaurant, where the ceiling is painted with ethereal clouds—Salvador Dali used to spend a month at the hotel every year. Taking a leaf out of the surrealist artist’s book, the emphasis here is firmly on the fun—the staff will set up treasure hunts around the hotel with their in-house mascot, Pistache, on rainy days, and when the sun shines you can pack the kids off to the Jardin des Tuileries across the road. There, the hotel can organize carousel rides and custom-made toy wooden boats to sail on the boat pond. And when the grown-ups want to treat themselves to a night in the hotel’s Versailles-esque restaurant, helmed by three Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse, the concierge will hook you up with one of the city’s finest babysitters." - Luciana Bellini
