Paris is notorious for its matchbox-sized hotels, and it can be hard to rival the city’s grand dames, but Château Voltaire has already firmly claimed its place in the city’s hotel scene. The clients match the timelessly beautiful and tasteful interiors. It ticks a lot on our list too – the location (central, next to the Tuileries), the cool factor (a big part played by the design duo Festen) and the comfort (it feels like our French home from home). We’re also major suckers for all the details: the stationary, the merch, the seashell sconces. Find regulars picking at pastries on silver trays in the morning while at night, they’ll be in the discreet La Coquille d’Or bar creating late-night secrets with their friends.
