t’s been an instant fashion-world favorite, for obvious reasons, but the appeal needn’t end there — if you’re the sort of person who loves what’s good about a good hotel, and hates what’s bad about a bad one, then you’ll no doubt be charmed by the Hôtel Thoumieux. That might be oversimplifying things just a bit, but not by much — on a scenic Parisian street facing the Eiffel Tower, in an intimate little fifteen-room boutique bearing the inimitable stamp of hotelier Thierry Costes and designer India Mahdavi, there’s precious little to find fault with.

There’s the décor, instantly, recognizably rooted in historical Parisian design yet always with a light, witty touch. There’s the hospitality, offering the personal connection that only the smallest hotels can provide. And there’s the restaurant, serving classic and contemporary French fare alongside a fine assortment of vintages.

The rooms dispense with minimalism entirely, turning the volume on the prints and patterns up to eleven — and augmenting them with some well-chosen comforts, from the in-room iPads to the Aesop bath products to the breakfast service, with housemade yogurt and preserves.
