Paris Gets Another Radisson Blu

Where: 10 Place de Mexico, Paris, France, 75116

You may recall that the first totally-fly Radisson Blu to open in Paris was the Radisson Blu Le Dokhan's — where we giggled about the opportunity to get drunk on champagne and high on Louis Vuitton (mmmm) — and now the new boutique brand has opened a second chic boutique property in the City of Lights with unreal views of the Eiffel Tower: Radisson Blu Le Metropolitan, Paris Eiffel in the 16th arrondissement.

The 48-room property boasts interiors by Francois Champsaur (which are super modern; which looks cool up against the 19th century former private residence that houses the hotel) as well as "unrestricted Eiffel Tower views" — yeah, the place pretty much faces the landmark.

The hotel's Metropolitan restaurant features cuisine by an Alain Ducasse-trained chef, and you can take tea in the tea room from The O Dor (a Parisian "luxury brand") or opt for a more boozey alternative (if the views don't make you woozey — ha, see what we did there?) at the Metropolitan Bar. The hotel's got a spa and indoor pool, too, if you want to detox the ol' skin or swim some laps to work off a couple of those fancy cocktails.

Oh, yeah: and free WiFi all over the hotel. Which certainly doesn't make us Blu. Rates start at 225 Euros (around $309).
