Oscar Wilde died here in 1900, when it was the Hotel Alsace pension house. Now known simply as L’Hotel, this sumptuous, 20-room jewel box of a hotel would be a delightful place to stay during a quick visit to the City of Light. Steps from the Seine, L’Hotel is surrounded by the myriad charms of Paris’ left bank, and a short jaunt to the Jardin du Luxembourg. Yes, this is a dream trip I could definitely embark on right this moment. I’d take my husband, or maybe my mom, or a girlfriend. Who will be joining you?
