Boutique hotel around the corner from  the Ritz.   Decorated like an upscale bordello and a common choice for romantic weekends.    Plenty of on site extras like a pool, fitness center,  Costes beauty products, a chef-manned restaurant and bar, but the staff, even the concierge (!),  is considered by most to be terribly aloof, unhelpful and on the make for tips.  Good for jetset celebrity-spotting.    LG
