Kube Hotel
Located less than a half mile from the Thalys train station, the Kube Hotel is a great choice if you are looking for a luxury boutique hotel with a contemporary twist. Home to Paris' only ice bar, a vodka bar where all items--chairs, bar, glasses, etc.--are carved out of ice, the 40 rooms are designed with an icy, glass theme. Beds are covered in white linens, with fur comforters and wall hangings, with seats and tables made of cut glass. The glass cubed headboard behind the bed doubles as a wall for an in-room rainfall shower. Each room is equipped with Internet access and a TV and CD/DVD entertainment system. For a workout, climb the long flights of stairs in Montmartre to the Sacre Cour Cathedral, rent a bike and ride to the Eiffel Tower or jog in the nearby Parc de Buttes Charmont. If you don't wish to walk 15 minutes to the train station, the hotel will drive you in its Lexus hybrid SUV.
