Boutique hotels often hold much mystery and stories of famous visitors, but not perhaps as famous as this visit to L'Hotel in Paris. 'My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go' Oscar Wilde quoted this famously in this hotel room just before his death in 1900. The hotel is now a very extravagant five star hotel, which is slightly ironic considering Wilde was completely broke during his own stay. In the lobby of the hotel you can find proof of Wilde's stay, including letters asking for him to pay his bill. At 1,000 dollars a night this room is an extravagant treat to say the least.
