Hôtel des Grands Boulevards

It’s easy to see why the Hotel des Grands Boulevards has become Insta-famous since it opened its doors in 2018. This chic, 50-room boutique hotel is home to a secret garden, glass-enclosed cocktail bar, and uses only locally sourced, organic and fair-trade cleaning supplies, products, and ingredients. Location: Located in the historic (and central) 2nd, the Hotel des Grands Boulevards is a quick stroll from the Louvre, the Seine and the Tuileries Gardens. Interior: The Hotel des Grands Boulevards’ design heavily relies on its revolution-era 18th century building, but has been infused with delicate modern touches and rustic charm. Each room features one of these romantic, plush headboards flanked by canopy drapes. Who wouldn’t want to wake up feeling like Parisian royalty, right? The rest of the room is decidedly down-to-earth. Featuring simple, bench-like side tables and veined-marble accents, the design is rich and punchy with jewel-toned color, yet makes you feel like you’ve been whisked to the French countryside. Cost per night: Starting €157.80/$177.98 Things you should know: The building was erected shortly before the French Revolution and built on the foundation of an old garden, which is now a secret garden only reached by private passageway. And if you’re digging that garden countryside vibe, the hotel’s glass-enclosed restaurant features a French-Italian fusion menu with ingredients that are locally and ethically sourced.
