The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Bachaumont

"Meanwhile, the light-filled ground floor restaurant Bauchaumont– the latest addition to the Experimental Cocktail Club’s empire of bars and eateries – is a clash of brightly printed fabrics and backgammon-inspired dining tables, enhanced by subtle brass and black marble details, which lends a contemporary touch to a space that evokes the bygone glamour of the traditional French brasserie"

"Now the ground-floor brasserie and bar, which open onto a pedestrian street, are crowded with stylists and other plugged-in people, but the rooms upstairs are not too haughty for a vacationer"

"After dinner, stop for a cocktail at Night Flight bar next door, a cozy wood-paneled den inspired by the novel Vol de Nuit by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry"
