"Andersen, named after Danish tale teller Hans Christian, is under the eaves on the sixth floor and has gorgeous city views, including a perfect snapshot of the Eiffel Tower."

The hotel offers three room categories, but be sure to ask for one facing the Eiffel Tower for an exceptional view from your balcony, where you have more elbow room to pen some of your finest work.

"This is an interesting choice, especially for the literary- minded, and its chic retro-1920s and limited public facilities blend nicely in a much-prized location."

"A panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower to one side and the Arc de Triomphe on the other doesn’t come cheap; Le Raphael is on of the most luxurious terrace bars in Paris."
