But Maison Souquet, an authentic 'pleasure house' in the Pigalle that’s been turned into a top-tier hotel by designer Jacques Garcia, makes quite a few of them look like cold showers by comparison. Here, just across from the Moulin Rouge, he’s created a fantasy that’s opulent, mysterious and just slightly unreal." - The MICHELIN Guide
