Bel Ami Hotel is a very fashionable boutique property in Paris' very fashionable Saint-Germain-des-Pres neighborhood. A sleek nautical-inspired look is found in the common areas and 108 rooms and suites, which come with minibars, modern bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Wellness facilities come in the form of a decent-sized (for Paris) fitness center and a two-treatment-room spa that uses Carita beauty products. The hotel's lobby bar is a stylish space for wine or Champagne cocktails, and the restaurant serves breakfast daily and a elaborate brunch buffet on the weekends that's as expensive as it is famous. The restaurant doesn't serve lunch or dinner, but 24-hour room service is available, the bar serves full meals throughout the day, and the neighborhood is crawling with places to eat. For a Saint-Germain-des-Pres hotel with historic interiors, look into Hotel d'Aubusson, in a stately home from the 17th century.
