Facing the Garnier Opera House, a short walk to the Louvre and Comédie Française, surrounded by the gardens of the Palais Royal and those of the Tuileries, the Hôtel du Louvre (164 rooms, 57 suites) has reopened its doors following two years of renovation. More evident than ever, its Second Empire style blends elegantly with touches of modernity. Its Brasserie managed by Maison Bocuse will undoubtedly become a must address in the 1st arrondissement. Hôtel du Louvre, place André Malraux, Paris 1 (01 73 11 12 34).
