Renaissance Paris Vendome Hotel

There are those rare hoteliers that get it just right. Because getting it just right in the hospitality industry is an art. It starts with the location and extends to the finest details like fresh flowers and a welcoming hello. This little 97-room hotel gets things right. Just off the fashion runway-like rue St. Honoré and a hop-skip away from the Jardins des Tuileries and Place Vendôme, you are in the sweet spot of Paris. Add to this the upbeat Renaissance vibe, the Bar Chinois, a sauna/steamroom/swimming pool in the natural-lit basement and things just keep getting better. Most rooms here are quite spacious, with a few master-bedroom/adjoining sitting-room suites. Local artists are invited, on a rotating basis, to decorate these suites with their artworks, lending a curated personal touch. Bulgari luxury amenities and full American breakfast complete the picture for this friendly, upbeat Paris home away from home.
