Just a stone's throw from the bustling Place de la Concorde, but nestled in the discreet Rue Boissy-d'Anglas, this prestigious address is also one of the liveliest in the district. Credit for this goes to the Bar du Faubourg, where travelers and locals alike meet to sip cocktails in the beautiful Art Deco room with its club armchairs and fireplace. Just as popular, Anaïs Foray's Blossom restaurant offers tasty, natural cuisine, served from the first fine days in the garden cooled by beautiful fountains. A rendezvous for the fashion world during fashion weeks, the Sofitel houses 148 rooms and suites with the couture spirit of designer Didier Gomez. Add to this a spa, an extensive fitness area and the possibility of running in the Tuileries alleys just a stone's throw away, and you have one of the capital's chicest, but above all coolest 5-star hotels.
