Paris is known as the world's most romantic city. Whether you travel with a partner or fly solo, the charms of this city are irresistible. You can live the romance (at least for a night or two) by staying at one of Paris' many enchanting boutique hotels. At the top end of the boutique hotel scale is the unique Hôtel du Petit Moulin, designed by Christian Lacroix and located in the fashionable Haut-Marais neighborhood. The 17th century building is the site of an ancient bakery which has been completely renovated. Each of the 17 rooms are completely different in design, mixing Scandinavian modern, Baroque and sci-fi styles. Providing all of the services that you would expect from a hotel of it's caliber (24 hour reception, private parking, wifi internet access, bar, laundry service), Hôtel du Petit Moulin also allows small pets to stay. For all its elegance, this hotel is above all else a welcoming retreat in busy Paris. Located nearby Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés and just a few feet from the Luxembourg gardens, Hôtel Danemark is an unbeatable mid-range boutique hotel. It's location in the heart of the left bank (famous fashion boutiques, cafés, restaurants and art galleries) provides a stay that you won't easily forget. The hotel's 15 discerningly furnished rooms contrast beautifully with ancient stone walls and are exceptionally well soundproofed for a mid-range hotel in this area. Each room has the expected modern amenities; a mini bar, safe satellite TV and direct dial telephone. The bathrooms are a special feature, with Italian marble, ceramic tiles and Jacuzzi tubs in several bathrooms.
The combination of charming architectural details and gracious staff make this a remarkably pleasant place to stay. Budget travelers need not give up on the boutique experience, thanks to Hôtel Résidence Henri IV, a lovely late 19th-century hotel located near the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral. Importantly, this boutique hotel provides fully-equipped kitchenettes in each of its eight rooms and five apartments. This hotel has achieved the "home away from home" feeling, topping the list as a boutique hotel for the budget conscious. Unsurprisingly, the city famous for its boutique shops and businesses provides perfectly for travelers looking for an intimate and luxurious hotel experience.
