5-star service for boutique hotel prices? You’ll find it at Hôtel Madame Rěve in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement. The journey starts by entering the inconspicuous entrance, where the spirited attentive staff will await to greet you. For maximum space, comfort and views, make sure to book a ‘Deluxe Room Paris View – Atelier’, where you’ll find yourself overlooking a handful of Parisian-style buildings and if you’re lucky, even a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower. Before heading out to your dinner plans, have a drink on the Roof with 180° views of the city. And, if you’re looking to stay local, have dinner at La Plume; Japanese-inspired cuisine by chef Benjamin Six.

As far as city hotels go, this one hits close to a 10/10 from us.
