Hôtel Grand Powers

An institution for well-appointed travelers since the 20’s, the Hotel Grand Powers reopened its doors with a total redesign in January 2019, nearly a century after it first opened. Thankfully, they’ve kept many of the hotel’s historic features, but they are now contrasted with modern furnishings that walk the line between classic and cutting edge. Location: Located in Paris’ Golden Triangle in the 8th arrondissement, this 5-star boutique hotel is truly at the center of it all: just one block south of the Champs Elysees and minutes from the Lido de Paris. Interior: The headboards fold out like a tryptic and are adorned in rich colors like slate blue and blushing burgundy. Bespoke, geometric side tables, asymmetrical-colored rugs, and curvy sitting chairs infuse the rooms with a contemporary flair. High ceilings and windows flood the space with endless light. There are also brassy finishes, floor-to-ceiling drapes, and decorative ceiling moldings that fill you with pride. Cost per night: Starting €418/$471 Things you should know: One third of the Hotel Grand Powers’ 50 rooms face the Eiffel tower, so keep that in mind while booking if you’re willing to splash out a little extra cash for a room with the view.
