The only grand hotel on Paris's Left Bank — a 1910 Art Nouveau landmark in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, now managed by Mandarin Oriental after a €200 million renovation. 184 rooms include the Joséphine Baker Suite and an Eiffel Tower terrace suite. Brasserie Lutetia is helmed by Michelin-starred Gérald Passedat; the Akasha Spa has a 17-meter pool. Former guests include Hemingway, Matisse, Picasso, and Joyce, who wrote part of Ulysses here. The definitive Left Bank alternative to the Right Bank palaces.
