An impressive property just off the Champs Elysees, Hotel Ekta is an excellent choice for those shopping for a stylish mid-range option. This 25-room boutique is impressively decorated with '60s inspired decor and funky Paris artwork throughout. Rooms are a bit on the small side, but they offer up thoughtful amenities like Nespresso machines and multi-country electrical outlets. There’s no on-site restaurant or gym, but continental breakfast is available every morning (for a fee) and the hotel has a private underground parking garage (rare for a Parisian boutique). Plus, Wi-Fi is free for all guests. Travelers looking for an equally trendy property with a few more amenities might prefer the pricier Hotel Pershing Hall, which has an on-site restaurant, spa, and fitness center but is farther from the Champs Elysees.
