Hôtel Adèle & Jules
Distinguished double act
Grand Boulevards ’hood
Hôtel Adèle & Jules is as sweet as mille-feuille, with almost as many layers: each level of the hotel is bedecked with a different gem-bright colour scheme; rooms are set across two identical 19th-century buildings (one is ‘Adèle’, the other is ‘Jules’). French interior-design maven Stéphane Poux is responsible for the chocolate-box-pretty patterns and prints, the eclectic artworks and the covetable flea-market finds. The hotel’s setting is equally tasty: a peaceful patch of the ninth arrondissement, a short stroll away from the Grand Boulevards…

Our Favourite Rooms
We’re still crushing on the warm-hued Parisian Superior rooms, and the Boulevard Club rooms have a soothing grey-green colour scheme – almost oceanic – and boast big windows overlooking a quiet private street. Both bedroom and bathroom are deliciously spacious; if you’re prone to bringing too many clothes and shoes, there’s certainly room for them.
Packing Tips
Come armed with an empty case if you can – then fill it with Marais-and-Montmartre finds.
Also
Acclaimed architect Artefak – Bastie & Behzadi designed the two-part property; red-hot-talent Stéphane Poux is responsible for the colour-pop interiors.

Dress Code
Take a cue from the black-clad staff and wear an LBD, black cashmere, blush-inducing black underwear or a dash of Black Orchid by Tom Ford.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Walk around Montmartre village, one of Paris’ most intriguing 'hoods; use the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur as your lodestar while you navigate the tangle of streets. There are plenty of surprises, but we're especially fond of the Clos Montmartre Vineyard, which was cultivated to protect the land from development and add a welcome shot of green; find it along the Rue des Saules, and to try the wine visit during October's Fête des Vendanges when bottles are auctioned off. Some of the city’s biggest calling cards are just a short walk away from the hotel: Opera Garnier, Galeries Lafayette, Champs-Élysées, Le Marais, Notre-Dame and other Parisian must-sees. Marvel at the opulence of the Jacquemart-Andre Museum, an eye-poppingly extravagant Haussmann mansion that has aged utterly gracefully. Swap secular art for religious art at Sainte-Chapelle, the royal, Gothic-style chapel housed within the Palais de la Cité. Sometimes, classical concerts are hosted here. And, closer to home, you can see elaborate edible sculptures and take a few taste tests in the Musée du Chocolat or meet lifelike waxworks at the Musée Grévin.
