Pulitzer Paris

A Spanish hotel group opening a boutique hotel in Paris is the kind of move that shouldn't work but does. The Pulitzer sits in the 9th, near the Opéra, and mixes early 20th-century glamour with contemporary design at a scale that stays both lively and intimate. Rooms are compact in the Parisian way, with the attic "Petite Mansarde" rooms leaning into it rather than apologizing. A lobby bar, a breakfast room, and a garden-like patio for cocktails and tapas round things out. It holds a Michelin Key.
