Strictly Konfidentiel and clearly kitsch should be the full name of this newly opened hotel establishment. It seems to be somewhat of a pale knockoff of other popular boutique hotels like the Costes or Lacroix. Thematic rooms are evidently still the rage. Here the six suites take the spirit of historic French figures. Marie Antoinette wallpaper, red carpets, and chandeliers make it seem like the perfect hotel for the kind of traveler who is rich, but tasteless, and who unabashedly engages in souvenir shopping. If your idea of spending time in Paris is basking in replicas of parisian clichés, then you're in for a treat. Just don't forget your Eiffel Tower snow globe on the way home. On the bright side, the hotel is situated in a 15th-century building off the Rue de Rivoli. You'd be only steps away from the Louvre, Rue St Honoré, Place de la Concorde and many other attractions. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available in public areas, and also, breakfast is delivered to your room. A little bit of kitsch never hurt anyone.
Hotel Konfidentiel, 64 Rue de l'Arbre Sec, 1st arrondissement (00 33 1 55 34 40 40).
from about $330 - $500.
