Frommer's "A charmer among Left Bank boutique hotels... Some rooms are small, but all the beds are exceedingly comfortable." Full review
Oyster3.0
"This hotel gets its name because it is literally one guestroom. Clearly designed to set a romantic mood for guests, the room offers scent choices... and a common area dubbed "the dance floor"." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located in the Latin Quarter near the small cafés and open-air market of busy Rue Mouffetard, the Five Hotel aims to cater to every sense." Full review
Time Out "The rooms in this stunning boutique hotel may be small, but they're all exquisitely designed, with Chinese lacquer and velvety fabrics." Full review
Gayot "Conceived as a love nest, the One By The Five is not your usual hotel. This single-suite property contains six rooms spread over 45 square meters."
BlackBook "Boutique design hotel with a different personality (and matching aroma) in each room. Fiber optic lights in the rooms create a "rain of stars" effect, and there's Chinese lacquer everywhere."
Fodor's "Small is beautiful at this design hotel on a quiet street near the Rue Mouffetard market and the Latin Quarter." Full review
Lonely Planet "Choose from one of five perfumes to fragrance your room at this contemporary romantic sanctum." Full review

Rough Guide "Palatial opulence in the style of Louis XVI, with unsurpassed vistas over Paris and superlative en suites."
Frommer's "This landmark lies between the place de la Concorde and the Grand Louvre, facing the Tuileries Gardens." Full review
Concierge "Le Meurice still has a vaguely decadent and artistic tone that sets it apart from other high-priced Parisian gilt trips."
Fodor's "Since 1835, the Meurice has welcomed royalty and celebrities... and Paris' first palace hotel continues to please with service, style, and views." Full review
Insight Guides "Elegant, 18th-century-style salons and a Michelin-starred restaurant are among the many assets of this historic grand hôtel."
DK Eyewitness "The Meurice is a perfect example of successful restoration, with excellent replicas of the original plasterwork and furnishings."
Time Out "With its extravagant Louis XVI decor, mosaic tiled floors and modish restyling by Philippe Starck, Le Meurice is looking grander than ever." Full review
Star Service "Reviled by some, beloved by others, this lavish wedding-cake-of-a-place is colored up with an ungodly amount of icing, its extravagant baroque sensibility teasing the best duds out of your luggage. " Full review
Gayot "Part of the prestigious Dorchester group, Le Meurice is one of Europe's most highly regarded hotels."
BlackBook "Reminiscent of a palace, offers spacious suites in the style of Louis XVI. Pricey amenities are worth every penny."
