Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Banke
20 rue LaFayette, Paris, Île-de-France, 75009, France
This interesting hotel with tasteful, elegant rooms is in a stately, early-20th-century bank building in the heart of the Opéra district, which is full of shops and theaters. The imposing domed lobby hosts an eclectic restaurant and tapas bar on either side. Each room has parquet floors, custom furniture, leather-weave headboards, and marble or green mosaic tiles in the bathrooms. The Spanish-owned hotel doubles as a museum, with the owner's jewelry collection on display on each floor.
