The Peninsula

19 ave Kléber, 16th / M: Kléber / 58 12 28 88 / paris.peninsula.com

Once a palais for an exiled queen, now this Haussmanian belle is restored with subtle Asian motifs and iPad-driven mod cons, plus rooftop showstopper L'Oiseau Blanc, Canto LiLi, Kléber Bar, terrace and sigh-worthy spa.
