With just 11 rooms stacked neatly into a 19th-century townhouse, this luxury boutique hotel in Paris has the feel of an exclusive members' club. Bright minimalist interiors with colour accents and walnut veneers maximise natural light – Le Placide's designer Bruno Borrione certainly knows how to pretty up a hotel room. Add a chic address in Saint-Germain, and you've got the perfect place to base a whirlwind city break.
