Hôtel Clos Médicis, Paris

This pleasant three-star hotel, which is situated just off the bustling boulevard St. Michel, was extensively renovated in 1994. The reception area is spacious and comfortable, with large armchairs gathered around a fireplace where a fire always burns in winter. The rooms, all of which are named after a famous wine (clos is the French word for vineyard), are decorated in a modern, elegant style. All rooms have double-glazing.
