The Peninsula Paris

If you're after quintessential Parisian digs with modern amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi access, tablets and dual-voltage electrical outlets, consider staying in one of The Peninsula Paris' accommodations. All 200 guest rooms and suites combine traditional details like spacious marble bathrooms and white crown molding with contemporary features like dark wood headboards and chrome light fixtures. Additionally, each space comes with one-of-a-kind amenities like a LED touch-screen wall panel programmed in 11 languages, a nail dryer and a hidden valet box for laundry. But it's not just the hotel's guest rooms and suites that set this property apart. The Peninsula Paris, which is housed within a 19th-century Haussmannian building, is where George Gershwin wrote "An American in Paris" and where the Paris Peace Accords (the treaty that ended the Vietnam War) was signed. Plus, the property sits within walking distance of the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, and you'll find a metro station less than a block away to get you to other parts of Paris. When you're famished, previous visitors recommend returning to the hotel for Cantonese-style bites at LiLi or traditional Parisian meals with an Eiffel Tower view at L'Oiseau Blanc. However, recent patrons cautioned that the dishes served on-site are pricey.
