Hotel Lutetia
The recently renovated five-star "Hotel Lutetia" is a polished gem located on the Left Bank in the upscale Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood.

Stroll through the pedestrian-friendly streets to visit art deco cafés and bistros where creative luminaries like Pablo Picasso and Josephine Baker once gathered. With subtle, elegant touches like Murano glass lights, heated marble floors, and private rooftop terraces, this boutique-style hotel has 184 rooms but still exudes intimacy and romance.
