This hotel is the Left Bank's little secret. It has been the favorite spot of not just literary giants like Oscar Wilde fleeing his torrid past, but also fullfledged rock stars like Mick Jagger and rockstar-like film icons such as Johnny Depp. They seem to be attracted to the opulent vibe laced with that hint of daring. The Oscar Wilde suite is the one that comes with a sizeable terrace, every inch private. The Mata Hari room is just as you would envision, all damask silk wall-covering and fringed lamp shades. The bar serves as a chic, if pricey, watering hole for the resident artists, writers and celebrities who call Saint-Germain home. Just underneath, there is a private pool that is reserved for guests only. Le Restaurant serves both lunch and dinner and the newly ordained Michelin-starred chef is all too ready to serve up his light as air creations.

Her name might not be famous yet across the Atlantic but interior designer Sarah Lavoine has gotten off to an impressive start with this, her first hotel design. The midnight-blue that greets you in the lobby opens up into a naturally-lit dining room that has already become popular with the acting and recording-artist crowd. The rooms feature equally bold color schemes that harmonize under the measured touch of the designer's eye. Surprising details such as a glass fourth wall connecting the bathroom to the bedroom that can be shuttered with wooden panels, or left open, lend themselves to this at once both demure, buttoned-up hotel that oozes sultry secrets. One of those secrets is the generous-sized pool in their spa area where you'll find a cascading wall-waterfall. Behind the wall of water, cave-like, is the steam room. The central neighborhood is exceedingly safe with the Tuilerie Gardens at your doorstep.

Known as the very particular 'hotel particulier' this rambling 19th c. mansion tucked away along a private gated pathway toward the top of the Butte Montmartre transports you to some secluded hillside in Transylvania the instant you're ushered behind the tall, locked, iron gate. The handful of rooms are spacious and upholstered in that style we Californians call shabby chic. Meaning, the staff will readily point out that the slightly worn feel to the silk wall coverings and chaise longues is all a studied affair. The fairly new bar on the downstairs garden level, Le Tr????s Particulier, is a superb place for enjoying a creative cocktail, generously poured. The restaurant, which is just off the lobby entrance, is the kind of intimate dining experience that made Montmartre famous in its heyday.
