The Hidden is one of the Champs-Élysées' best secrets. It's serene, stylish, reasonably spa-
cious, and it even sports green credentials: the earth-coloured tones are the result of natural
pigments (no paint), and all rooms feature handmade wooden furniture, stone basins, and
linen curtains surrounding the beds. The queen-size Emotion rooms are among the most
popular.
