Over 40 million visitors a year make Paris the most visited of all the European capital cities. The city is awash with iconic monuments.

The smell of croissants and coffee at breakfast time. A glass of French Chardonnay on the terrace of a small café, as you do a little people-watching. Gourmet dining in the chic bistros and restaurants, and elegant evenings at the theatre or opera. Taxis to Pigalle, South Pigalle and SoPi for those wishing to party into the early hours. With an alluring atmosphere you can almost taste, Paris has it all. Why not find out for yourself, and treat yourself to a short break in a luxurious Parisian hotel?

(5 stars)In the 16th arrondissement, this property has Eiffel views. Le Metropolitan is cosy and quiet, with an almost museum-like feel and 19th-century architecture designed by François Champsaur. The decor is simple and calming; true Parisian chic. The super comfy beds are the kind you sink into after a long day’s sightseeing — some are housed in uber-contemporary minimalist four-posters and bathrooms have been crafted using Capri marble and Zimbabwe granite as feature materials. The hotel’s restaurant is seductive and alluring, displaying understated luxury, while the bar (open all day for morning coffee through to late-night cocktails – is entered via two works of art.
