HotelChatter

It's had a major interior design makeover and the hotel now thinks the lounge is "an ultra-chic and quintessentially Parisian venue". Who are we to judge--fancy chandeliers, crystal light-decorated columns, a multi-colored carpet and velvet sofas sure sound a fair way on the Parisian chic side to us.

Whether you're stopping in for coffee and cake or having a meal, the La Galerie des Gobelins always has gentle harp music playing (we're presuming it's live. We hope so). You can start there for breakfast at 8am but the harpist should still be playing when they close up at around half past one in the morning.
