Hôtel Du Louvre, a Hyatt Hotel

The hotel, built in 1855, is a brand itself enough for Hyatt to take second place to it. The hotel is actually a cornerstone for the Unbound Collection, a new Hyatt sub-brand created for legendary properties, many of which pre-date the Hyatt chain itself. It is literally next to the Louvre and keeps the ''belle epoque'' charm alive throughout the property, albeit remaining contemporary and not pretentious. The Brasserie, where in. al. breakfasts are served, has a terrace with a splendid direct view of the Louvre.
