Bottom Line
Hotel Residence Foch is a boutique hotel set in the swanky and relatively quiet surrounds of the 16th arrondissement in northwestern Paris. The location isn't ideal for exploring the capital, though a few sights, such as the Arc de Triomphe, are within walking distance. Interiors are pleasantly finished -- decor is a contemporary homage to 18th-century France -- and the property as a whole has a certain Parisian charm. Rates seem to fluctuate more than at most venues, but prices can often be competitive, as long as you don't mind being away from the center of things.

Quintessentially Parisian facade with interior decor that's a modern celebration of classical France
With its simple Haussmannian facade, Hotel Residence Foch is a quintessentially Parisian construction on the outside, and is surrounded by other iterations of this charming architectural style. Interiors, however, fuse colorful, modern decor with numerous artistic references to classical French culture, from gilt-framed 18th-century etchings to stained-glass windows to trompe-l'oeil library-print wallpaper. There are also contemporary takes on period furniture and chandeliers. The mood is hushed and traditional, yet relaxed, especially in the secluded, rear courtyard decorated with potted palms and scented with honeysuckle. Clientele consists of a mix of business travelers and diplomats -- taking advantage of the hotel's location -- and the slightly older tourist who appreciates a peaceful retreat away from the bustle of central Paris.
Location
Set in Paris' upmarket Embassy Quarter in the 16th arrondissement
The hotel is found in the very desirable Embassy Quarter of the 16th arrondissement, in the northwest of Paris. The Residence Foch’s location on a quiet road just inside the capital's Boulevard Périphérique ring road means very easy access by car, while there are three metro stations nearby as well. The iconic Arc de Triomphe is about 15 minutes east on foot, and guests can also walk to the start of the famous shopping avenues of the Champs-Élysées. The close proximity of Boulogne wood also provides an excellent spot for a jog or boating during the day, while Paris' famed exhibition hall, the Palais des Congrès, is another short jaunt away. Charles de Gaulle Airport is about a 30-minute drive northeast while getting to Orly Airport to the south is about the same amount of time.
Rooms
Modern styling with 18th-century references and 21st-century amenities
Decor in the Residence Foch’s 25 rooms continue the hotel's interior design styling of modern schemes with motifs and artworks referencing classical 18th-century France -- some focusing on the doomed Dauphine Marie-Antoinette. The 21st-century amenities include free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs as well as minibars and tea and coffee facilities. Bathrooms are modern and clean with wall-mounted hairdryers and quality toiletries. Some of the rooms open to balconies overlooking the street or courtyard, while one unit -- number 62 – affords guests a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.
Features
A 24-hour bar and secluded rear courtyard, along with free Wi-Fi
Amenities are limited at the Residence Foch, though what’s available highlights the property’s emphasis on understated quality. The hotel serves an American-style breakfast buffet in its small dining area, or a continental can be delivered to the room, though neither are included in room rates. A tiny bar is licensed to serve drinks around the clock, which can also be enjoyed in the secluded rear courtyard. Wi-Fi is available free of charge throughout the venue, and there’s also a computer terminal available for guests' use.
