The Best Hotel in Challiot and Ternes, Paris

The rough-hewn wood facade heralds the eco-friendly theme of this under-the-radar boutique hotel a block from the Arc de Triomphe, and the interior follows through with handcrafted glass, wood, stone, and ceramic decor. Chic rooms overlook a quiet street, have open-plan bathrooms in black slate and marble, and feature organic Coco-Mat bed mattresses topped with pure linen sheets. Friendly and professional down-to-earth service, cozy-and-cool first-floor sitting areas, and a health-oriented breakfast buffet have given this hotel a loyal following of hip, young design and media types looking for something original.
