Hotel Amour
Located on a slender corridor that feels more St.-Georges than Quartier Pigalle, the hotel is the brainchild of three nightlife aficionados who know their target audience well (think iPhone-toting media types) and chose their amenities accordingly. You’ll find cheeky framed photographs in the restaurant, rooms with toys from Kidrobot, and even a foosball table in the basement. Want more proof that the area is ready for travelers? Rue des Martyrs, around the corner from the hotel, has become the spot to shop for fine cheeses and groceries. The hotel’s restaurant, bar, and lush terrace serve as the Paris headquarters for many of the hottest names on the fashion and art scenes. The bar itself is somewhat spare, but details like the X-rated purple plastic Mickey Mouse that graces the reception desk set the tone. Faces are beautiful and the service can be sketchy, but hey, it’s not about you. Whether you dress up or down, you stand the best chance of mingling with the locals if you show up by 9 and just keep ordering drinks until the scene gets under way around 11 p.m.
