In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All 20 theatrical rooms have been individually decorated, and are inspired by a famous visitor to the hotel. We particularly love the art deco Mistinguette Room, which features the music-hall legend’s own bed and dressing table, and the Oscar Wilde Suite, where demands for payment of his hotel bill have been framed on the walls. His last words – ‘either that wallpaper goes, or I do’ – have, you’ll be glad to know, been heeded.
- Packing tips
- Bring a notebook in which to jot down your existential musings as you take coffee at nearby Café de Flore or Les Deux Magots.
- Also
- L’Hôtel wears its arty heritage on its paint-stained sleeve; original Jean Cocteau drawings hang in the lobby.

Paris, France[view map]
- Style
- Lavish Left Bank boudoir
- Setting
- Arty St Germain
It may be the place where Oscar Wilde quipped his last, but opulent boutique hotel L’Hôtel, on Paris’ arty Left Bank, is so much more than a fin-de-siècle relic. With a glamorous underground pool, a Michelin-starred restaurant and a bar beloved of the French capital’s style set, it is as much of a destination stay as ever.
