The Hotel Dadou Paris is a 4-star hotel on Rue Troyon, in the 17th arrondissement, a step from the Arc de Triomphe. Its most striking feature is La Nouvelle Vague, a pool with short films projected and a hammam. It is a good fit if you want to sleep near the Champs-Élysées and have something to do at the hotel at the end of the day.
