Several incarnations of the storied Majestic hotel in Paris have appeared since its opening in 1907. But the latest may fit the name best. The reconstructed and re-envisioned Villa & Hôtel Majestic just opened in the swanky 16th arrondissement. Run by the same family behind the sophisticated Hotel Raphael, the Majestic is a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe.

The Majestic now offers 25 guest rooms and 27 longer-stay “villas,” each with a unique design that includes a mix of period antiques and contemporary artwork. Many rooms even have landscaped terraces. A blend of modern and traditional also composes the Maj Club, the hotel’s wellness center, with a hammam and an infrared sauna. Treatments are based on Chinese medicine — though acupuncture is performed here with gold needles.
