Though right next to the Four Seasons, the two hotels could not be more different: Prince de Galles is decidedly 1920s, with art-deco mosaics and Années Folles fashion photography. It’s a tasteful nod to a prominent era in Paris, and a refreshing departure from much of the competition. The bedrooms are as luxurious, and the bathrooms as marble-heavy, as the best of Paris, but you’re coming here for a more modern design and less of a “scene.” Don’t forget to try the Michelin-starred La Scène, led by one of the few award-winning female chefs in the city.
