Paris

From Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower, Paris holds some of the world's most famous sights and these highlights should be top of the list for any first-time visitor. With the exception of the overtly modern Pompidou Centre, they have been landmarks of this elegant and romantic capital for centuries and remain awe-inspiring sights, no matter how often you visit the city.

  • Hôtel de Villeroy

    Built in 1724 for Charlotte Desmarnes, an actress at the Comédie-Française, it is now the Ministry of Agriculture.

  • A good choice for families on a budget, with triple rooms and cots available. The hotel is in one of Paris’s passages.

  • To stay on one of the Seine islands is a treat, and to do it in this hotel is a double treat. The bedrooms may be small, due to the building’s 17th-century origins, but the cheerful decor, the intimacy (only 17 rooms) and the hidden patio with its flowers and fountain more than compensate.

  • Hôtel des Grandes Écoles

    A secret hideaway in a lovely part of Paris, the two buildings that make up this 51-room hotel are set around a garden. The rooms are attractively decorated and the location is perfect for exploring the Latin Quarter.

  • Great views of the Panthéon from this intimate 32-room family hotel in an 18th-century house. The rooms are reasonably sized.

  • Walk into the centre of the courtyard to fully appreciate this magnificent set of buildings.

  • The glowing golden dome of the Hôtel des Invalides church is unmistakable across the rooftops of Paris.

  • In the Pigalle area but well away from the sleazy side. Some rooms are small, but the higher they go, the better the view.
