Take a look inside the best hotel in Europe, a boutique hotel in the heart of Paris with personal butlers, a hidden smoking room, and views of the Eiffel Tower

La Réserve Paris is located in a renovated mansion in the heart of France's capital city.

In the 8th arrondissement, one of Paris' most prominent neighborhoods, the hotel sits in a prime location.

La Réserve Paris is walking distance from Jardins des Champs-Élysées ...

... a short, 10-minute drive from the Arc De Triomphe on the infamous Champs-Élysées ...

... and just across the River Seine from the iconic Eiffel Tower.

Though barely four years old, La Réserve Paris has worked hard to quickly establish its status as a grand hotel.

When guests first enter the hotel, they are greeted by the Louis XV lounge ...

... which is located near the library, or bibliotheque.

La Réserve Paris boasts a beautiful stairway with black-and-white tiled floors, royal purple carpeting, and carefully curated art along the hallway walls.

The spiral structure makes for especially artful photographs ...

... as you climb the stairs to your room.

There, televisions are hidden in mirrors to maintain a polished, antique look. Aside from using keys instead of keycards for entry, rooms are up-to-date with modern amenities.

Every room includes an antique desk ...

... and many offer beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower from their private terraces.

Paris' top tourist attraction is also visible from many suite bathrooms ...

... which are built from Carrara and Turquin blue marble. Linens are monogrammed with guests' initials.

Suites, no matter the style, include glamorous, velvet-covered lounges ...

... or living rooms for larger accommodations.

Still others offer fireplaces for cozy gatherings ...

... along with bars for entertaining guests or enjoying a nightcap.

The hotel, while small, still includes a pool. Other spa amenities include three treatment rooms and a fitness area with a sports coach.

La Réserve Paris boasts two restaurants. La Pagode De Cos offers more intimate seating with silk-upholstered armchairs ...

... while Restaurant Le Gabriel features more traditional dining seating. Chef Jérome Banctel oversees both restaurants, and other services include tea time, a full-service bar, and a wine cellar with over 1,500 choices.

After sampling wine from the hotel's collection, guests have the option to fly by private helicopter or plane for a 24-hour stay at La Reserve's sister property, Château Cos d’Estournel in Bordeaux.

Back in Paris, guests can order a la carte from their personal butler. Along with dining assistance, butlers can also leave a book by your favorite author on your nightstand or secure tickets to a sold-out show.

In warm weather, outdoor seating is available, and breakfast is served on the patio in the summer months.

While undeniably luxurious, a stay at La Réserve Paris doesn't come cheap: Prices for the hotel range from $1,200 per night for a starting room rate to almost $8,000 per night for a presidential suite.
