Castille Paris – Starhotels Collezione

Our take

Rue Cambon runs past the front door — Chanel's original atelier is essentially a neighbour. That detail alone tells you everything about who belongs here: the fashion-obsessed, the quietly wealthy, the ones who book Paris around a fitting. Bring the dog; they'll take it. Skip Castille if you need a spa circuit or a pool to justify the rate — this is a 1st arrondissement address doing what a 1st arrondissement address should, nothing more, nothing less.
