Hôtel l'Antoine

Top choice in Paris


A showcase for stunning contemporary decor by Christian Lacroix, the 38-room Antoine's five floors reflect a different aspect of the Bastille – the 1950s, nightlife at the Balajo ballroom, romance, technology – where the French designer once lived. Suites have fold-out sofas and can sleep up to four people. Superb amenities include a basement sauna and fitness room, and an honesty bar.

If you love shocking pink, ask for a 2nd-floor art-gallery-inspired room.
