Priced right, set in the best locations, these hotels don’t come with state-of-the-art bells and whistles, but have kept their charm and offer top notch service.

For multimillionaires I have one added suggestion if you’re willing to wait until August: Peninsula Paris, 19 Avenue Kieber. Set in a century-old Beaux-Arts building, it will offer five restaurants and bars include an upscale Chinese restaurant and cigar lounge, 1,700-square-meter subterranean spa with an indoor pool with LED mood lighting, herbal steam rooms and ice fountains. Price: astronomical.

Staying at any one of these establishments gives you out-the-door entrée for walks with your No Worries Paris guidebook. Make 2014 the year you finally make that trip to this romantic city.
