What to expect: The quiet, friendly atmosphere makes the France Eiffel ideal for families or couples, while the wireless Internet access is a boon for business travelers. Down a quiet side street, the hotel's comfortable lounge, richly carpeted corridors, and warmly decorated rooms insulate guests from the outside world.
Amenity highlights: The hotel's peaceful, Oriental-themed lounge is dotted with deep, burgundy leather couches, Chinese chests, and carved wooden screens. A Krups coffeemaker is provided, with tiny, jungle-animal-themed porcelain espresso cups, and guests can choose from American, English, French, and German newspapers. In the sheltered, walled courtyard, wrought-iron chairs sit between potted flowers and birch trees.
Insider tip: While the hotel doesn't have its own bar, the concierge will happily provide all the mixings you need to make your own pre-dinner martini in the lounge.
