Hôtel Voltaire Opéra

Rich gold, chocolate and beige palettes adorn compact rooms at this appealing 40-room hotel near the opera. If you don't fancy dragging your suitcase up a flight of stairs, avoid the attic rooms that have no lift. Crisp white and taupe bathrooms are up-to-the-minute, and staff are delightfully welcoming. Breakfast (€12) includes homemade jams and artisan honey.
