Tucked along a picturesque Paris street, the new hotel La Fantaisie is a jewel-box hideaway perfect for both design connoisseurs and eager epicureans. The 73-room boutique property in the heart of Faubourg-Montmartre tantalizes all the senses with a whimsical interior design by Martin Brudnizki, a Galerie Creative Mind, who enveloped the spaces in robust floral patterns that echo the hotel’s wonderland-like garden.

But perhaps La Fantaisie’s greatest draw isn’t its charming suites or the Holidermie spa; it’s the Golden Poppy, where famed Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn is marking her return to the city. The restaurant delights with such mouthwatering offerings as turbot ceviche with spiced parsnip milk and leche de tigre—an exquisite precursor to an after-dinner cocktail at the rooftop bar.
