Le Meurice
1er Arr. (Musée du Louvre/Les Halles)Le Meurice has hosted a long list of luminaries since its 1845 opening, and today it's no less prestigious. Bar 228 is a draw in its own right, a place for craft cocktails and seasonal antipasti in deep leather chairs – in a former library redesigned by Philippe Stark.

2nd Arr. (La Bourse)Walk through an 18th century spiral staircase at the Hoxton and you'll reach Jacques' Bar, an intimate cocktail hideaway bursting with Moroccan-inspired character, and peppered with moody floral wallpaper, cosy armchairs and plush ottomans. In a particularly hip corner of the 2nd arrondissement, the hotel itself is a chic, modern and relatively affordable boutique hotel in the signature modern-bohemian Hoxton style.

Hôtel des Grands Boulevards
2nd Arr. (La Bourse)This is the second hotel in Paris by the creative team behind the groundbreaking Experimental Cocktail Club, and it comes with not one but two destination bars. The Shed, on their rooftop in the city centre, and the Shell, featuring a giant plaster shell and a few brass shell sconces as a tribute to the design preference of Marie-Antoinette (the building dates to just before the revolution).

Shangri-La Hôtel, Paris
16ème Arr. (Trocadéro)Though it’s a recent restoration, the Shangri-La plays the part of grande dame to a tee. There’s an outstanding Cantonese restaurant, and the Shangri-La’s two French restaurants serve upscale cuisine in theatrical settings, from the dining room at L’Abeille to the grand glass cupola of La Bauhinia. There’s a subtle Asian influence in the cocktail bar, too, as the bartenders in this Empire-style lounge are only too happy to pour a Pékin Express.

Saint James Paris
16th Arr. (Trocadéro)It's incredibly rare to find a country-style château in Paris itself, but the Saint James is exactly that – a freestanding house surrounded by a wall and garden. The bar within capitalises on the sophistication of the setting with Le Bar Bibliothèque, a chic space filled with plush couches and deep armchairs and framed by the leather-bound books that give it its name.

Amastan
8th Arr. (Champs-Élysées/Madeleine)Amastan Paris may be a luxury hotel, but it leaves the large-scale pomp and grandeur to the city’s established palace hotels, opting instead for an upscale residential vibe. That modus operandi extends to Amouk, the hotel's cocktail lounge that spills out into an insulated interior garden just a street or two away from the Champs-Elysées.

10ème Arr. (Gare de Nord/Gare de l'Est)On the fringes of Paris’s traditional tourist centres, the designers here felt free to ignore Parisian hotel conventions and go all in on Asian and African styling, both in the colour schemes and in the artworks. Thus the Sape Bar sports extravagant and flamboyant colours behind the bar, an eye-catching complement to the dark flooring and leather armchairs.
