From the quaint cafes dotting Haussmannian city blocks to the breathtaking centuries-old monuments, the infallible allure of the City of Lights often begins with its architecture. While the majesty of the Eiffel Tower or the intricate decadence of the Arc de Triomphe are obvious draws, a new crop of suites on the Right Bank espouse the grandiose vision of their surroundings. Herewith, a closer look at the newest suites saluting the adage that Paris is always a good idea.

Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet’s – Arc de Triomphe Signature Suite

Recognizing the importance of a name, the family-owned Barrière group purchased the 120-year-old landmark Le Fouquet’s brasserie and chose to encircle it with a luxury hotel. The result is the 100-room Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet. Overlooking the Champs-Élysées, the property returned to interior designer Jacques Garcia, the godfather of Parisian hotel design, to decorate 19 new rooms, including the fourth-floor Arc de Triomphe Signature Suite.

Marble fireplaces, herringbone parquet flooring, original crown molding, and uninterrupted views over its namesake monument greet guests. Offering a 1,500-square-foot space that suggests more apartment than hotel (think well-read books filling the bookshelves and a realistic number of hangers in the closet), the suite is both intimate and entertainment-friendly. The sole bedroom features a four-poster king-size bed with a white marble bathroom and soaking tub. The full dining room seats eight and flows into the living room, which serves as both a workspace, with a beautifully appointed desk, as well as a lounge.

Four-times-glazed windows leave the Parisian bustle on the avenue below, and should any guests require additional space, a connecting room is easily incorporated. hotelsbarriere.com; from $16,464 per night.

Four Seasons George V – Eiffel Tower Suite

From the dome of Les Invalides across the Parisian skyline, French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon perfectly framed Gustave Eiffel’s creation. Rightly branded, the suite invites the cityscape onto the wrought-iron terrace and in through the sun-flooded bow window. Should guests turn their backs, a four-sided mirrored pillar in the center of the living room provides a myriad of reflections.

Parroting the colors of the sun and sky, the suite’s contemporary decor relies on soft cream and ivory tones with occasional pops of mellowed yellows. A brass engraving by Nantes based multimedia artist Valérie Boy offsets the Italian Carrara marble of the bathroom, which also showcases antique mirrors and historical engravings of the hotel.

At 1,500 square feet, the Eiffel Tower suite offers ample space for an in-room spa treatment like the Japanese facial massage Kobido that focuses on the muscles of the face to restore radiance and tonicity, or in-room dining, which includes an in-room bread-toasting service. fourseasons.com; from $16,520 per night.

Le Meurice – Belle Etoile Penthouse Suite

Built in 1835 and coined the Hotel of Kings, thanks to Queen Victoria and a parade of royals who’ve stayed at Le Meurice, the hotel runs alongside the Tuileries Gardens and features 29 newly restored rooms and suites inspired by Versailles.

Positing the seventh floor as a modern-day palace, the Belle Etoile Penthouse Suite boasts 360-degree views of Montmartre from the mansard roof. French landscape artist Pierre Alexandre Risser designed the private rooftop terrace to mirror the gardens below. Inside, the four-bedroom duplex suite highlights a newly restored design by Charles Jouffre and Lally & Berger. Bronze and gold tones echo throughout the master bedroom and its adjoining marble bathroom, where personalized bathrobes and a circular whirlpool bath await its occupants, as do views of the Sacré-Cœur basilica.

Parisian lighting studio Maison Lucien Gau created its chandeliers while French artist Carole Benzaken painted original art for the space. The dining room and hidden bar seats 10, should there be a desire to entertain. dorchestercollection.com; from $27,500 per night.

Mandarin Oriental – The Parisian Apartment

The largest full-floor suite offering throughout the city, the Parisian Apartment enjoys 4,630 square feet consisting of an expansive reception area and foyer, bright dining room, and fully equipped kitchen. Should guests prefer a more private layout, its four bedrooms and bathrooms can be divided into two connecting two-bedroom suites. Designed by French agency Gilles & Boissier, the apartment is an exploration of themes and textures. Herringbone blonde parquet floors play off leather-covered pivot doors. Custom designed Patrick Gilles furnishings made from wood and silky fabrics offset the Art Deco feel of the 1900s molding.

An additional 2,475-square-foot private garden created by landscape designers Christophe Gautrand & Associates includes a Brazilian walnut terrace overflowing with magnolia and Japanese maple trees, climbing hydrangea as well as fern and star jasmine.

Facing the Rue Saint-Honoré, the suite incorporates a dedicated butler as well as the Mandarin Oriental’s legendary Coeur de Paris tea. An oolong-forward tea with rose petals from the Paris region, it’s blended exclusively for the Parisian Apartment. mandarinoriental.com; from $35,300 per night.
