Le Pavillon de la Reine

"A regal hotel in a 17th-century mansion on Place des Vosges, offering opulent decor and a gastronomic restaurant." - Lane Nieset

"The Marais neighborhood’s Place de Vosges has often been called one of the most beautiful squares in the world, so it’s a good thing that this family-owned hotel’s ivy-covered, 17th-century façade fits right in. The insides are pretty photo-worthy, too: past the extensive private garden courtyard—a fairytale come to life when all lit up—the interiors by Didier Benderli of Kérylos Interiors mix Old World touches like original antiques, marble fireplace mantles, and richly-colored oil portraits of aristocratic faces with contemporary-styled furnishings and clean lines, resulting in a vibe that’s both plush and un-fussy. Take note: The 56 rooms and suites each feature a different style and décor, so be sure to ask in advance if you prefer antique over modern, or vice-versa." - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta

"Four bikes are available and the concierge offers tips for which bike routes in the city to try."

"Constructed on the orders of Henry IV, this building was intended as a royal residence, and though this purpose was never realised, it became a gathering place for high society. The historic chateau atmosphere today pervades every aspect of your stay at the Pavillon. Breakfast is served in a vaulted cellar, the reception is dominated by a stone fireplace and carpets cover a flagstone floor." - The MICHELIN Guide
