About this Stay
I stayed for three nights at the five-star Hotel Bel Ami in Paris. When people think of Parisian hotels, they often imagine glamorous interiors with chandeliers and heavy curtains, but Hotel Bel Ami features a modern and functional style.
Even so, the lobby sofas come in a variety of designs, creating a rich and comfortable atmosphere. The hotel is also ideally located, close to the Seine River and just a 10-minute walk from the Louvre Museum.
I enjoyed a delicious French breakfast three times in the buffet-style dining area, featuring croissants, a variety of cheeses, prosciutto, and cultured butter.
