Hôtel Paris Bastille Boutet

Top choice in Paris


A joinery workshop and later a chocolate factory, the Boutet retains its original 1926 mosaic-tiled façade and art deco canopy, and acknowledges its industrial heritage in its timber-panelled hallways. Ten of its 80 rooms and suites have spectacular terraces. There's a hammam, a gym and two beauty treatment rooms, but the biggest bonus is the sky-lit swimming pool with a counter current.
