$ Hôtel de Nice**, on the Marais' busy main drag, features a turquoise-and-fuchsia
“Marie-Antoinette-does-tie-dye” decor. Its narrow halls are littered with paintings and
layered with carpets, and its 23 Old World rooms have thoughtful touches and tight bath-
rooms. Twin rooms, which cost the same as doubles, are larger and on the street side—but
have effective double-paned windows (Sb-€80-130, Db-€110-160, Tb-€135-170, reception
