La Reserve Hotel

Paris

Once home to Pierre Cardin, this boutique hotel is ideally located down a boulevard just far enough from the crowds of the Champs Elysées. No expense seems to have been spared decking out its 40 rooms. Expect silk wallpaper, thick velvet drapes, ornate ceilings and chaises longues in black, ruby and emerald. Not-so-mini bars are stocked with top-end wines and liqueurs in crystal decanters, while Restaurant Le Gabriel, with chef Jérôme Banctel at its helm, has joined the circle of two-star Michelin establishments in the city.

Doubles from £960.
