Paris Marriott Hôtel Champs-Élysées, Paris

Within its seven kilmeters (four miles), this hotel's luxury is neither ostentatious nor eye-catching: the decor is contemporary and highlights the clean lines and dominant beige and pastel colors. The bedrooms feel calm in contrast to the bustle of the surrounding neighborhood. For further relaxation, just go to the piano bar whose atrium lets in rays daylight. The Pavilion Restaurant is a haven of peace because it has a large window from which you can appreciate a flowery courtyard while enjoying traditional cuisine. Breakfast costs approximately EUR22.
