A Left Bank landmark, Hôtel Lutetia has been dazzling the people of Paris since 1910, including Pablo Picasso, Charles de Gaulle and Josephine Baker, who have all checked in over the years. James Joyce even dropped by to write a bit of Ulysses in these evidently inspirational surroundings. It’s so grand that it’s officially the only Rive Gauche residence with Palace status, and the Saint-Germain-des-Prés setting is one of the best addresses in the city.
