What it is

An quietly elegant hotel in a coveted location

What it isn't

A textbook Parisian palace.

What we think

The Park Hyatt occupies five 19th-century buildings between the Place Vendôme and the Opéra Garnier. But the old-world exterior conceals a much more contemporary vibe within. Designed by Ed Tuttle, famous for his work with Amanresorts, the interiors are crisp and minimalist, an orderly mix of limestone, mahogany and marble in all shades of beige. The 153 rooms, adorned in silk, wood and bronze, have a sensual ambiance that’s romantic in a contemporary way (as opposed to the Rococo fantasies of some of its rivals). There’s a spa and well-equipped workout facility, plus four restaurants, including Pur, a Michelin' starred fine dining restaurant with an open kitchen. Though the prime shopping of the Rue de la Paix is right outside the front door, guests also have access to 10 Vendôme, a luxury consulting company whose personal shoppers will bring you clothes to try on in-suite. In short, the Park Hyatt is less traditional than the other top choices in Paris, but no less luxurious.

You're here because
