Close to the Eiffel Tower, this elegant hotel takes its inspiration from travel and adventures of Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais (1699-1753), a naval officer with the French East India Company after whom the street was named. Gold-framed paintings, vintage globes, a gramophone and so on fill public areas, while rooms are contemporary and uncluttered.
Don't miss a browse in the Library of Curiosities or a cocktail in the hotel bar, Le Gloster with a line-up of different rums to sample.
