Saint James Paris
Paris, France
Normally staying in a quasi-palace requires finding accommodations far from any city center — which is what makes the Saint James so unique. Located in close proximity to the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, this 19th century mansion features 48 rooms and suites that are quite large by Parisian standards, offering posh decor and incredible common areas that include a grand double staircase, terrace, gourmet restaurant, and library bar. True, the rates can be steep, but you didn't think staying in a chateau would be cheap, did you?
