The Paris Hotel: The Paris hotel list is so carefully arranged that you need only ask your budget how much you can afford and then choose. Just below the super-de luxe class are such places as the Grand, the Continental, the California and the Lotti, and another step lower, but still very good, the Ambassador, the Commodore, the Chatham and, on the Left Bank, the Pont Royal.
Paris is one city and France is one country where you can do a lot for yourself in hotel choosing—if you will. Times beyond counting I have left my luggage in a railway consigne (check room) and have roamed the streets of the city or town looking for suitable accommodations at a suitable price.
BUDVA: Hotel Avala (best located) or the larger Hotel Romania KOTOR: Hotel Slavia, rather simple, but well located on the shore HERCEGOVNI: Hotel Boka, with pleasant seaside terrace DUBROVNIK: Hotel Villa Argentina and Hotel Excelsior, both splendidly situated on the edge of the sea, or Hotel Splendide, on a wooded peninsula a few hundred yards along the coast northwest of the town, consisting of a main hotel, a restaurant and a dozen or so villas. More economical: Hotel Imperial, the largest place in Dubrovnik HVAR: Hotel Park, simple RAB: Hotel Imperial and Hotel Park OPATIJA: Hotel Kvarner, a big luxury place with park and every attraction; Slavija, a runner-up to the impressive Kvarner. Slightly more economical, yet of good caliber: the Central; the Kristal; the Belveder and the Zagreb.
Its bars and public rooms help set a hob status in the community—which the isil quickly senses. Fashionable inhabitants of M drid have been packing the bar of the Pala Hotel in the Spanish capital for years; ai French journalists stopped carping about tl Paris Hilton when chic Parisians started gathe ing in its Le Western bar. Another factor in hotel's rating is its location; in a city hotel coi venience and fashionable neighborhood are di sirable; in a resort hotel, a sea or mountai situation and view.
