Hôtel Jules

Curvaceous sensuality is the prime element in the 95 rooms and six junior suites in the four-star Hotel Jules in the Bohemian Faubourg Montmartre neighborhood in the Ninth Arrondissement. Visual design from the 1950's through the 1970's is emphasized—from the high-backed, Cadillac-inspired wall seat in the lobby to the Kubrick-esque Internet capsules. Hotel Jules is surrounded by a young, vibrant neighborhood full of clubs, cafes, and theater, and the energy makes it a hive of activity, but not necessarily a tranquil getaway, although the windows are double-paned.
