Jacuzzi Suite Recommendations

First time traveler to Paris. I was thinking it would be nice after a couple of hopefully unreal and romantic days in Paris, we could close out the evenings with reflection and relaxation in a nice jacuzzi. Any recommendations on good hotels with nice jacuzzi%26#39;s rooms is much appreciated.

While I%26#39;m certain many larger Parisian hotels offer Jacuzzis in their suites...one little Left Bank 4-star that comes readily to mind to check out as a first-rate choice is--





RELAIS HÔTEL du VIEUX PARIS (4-star)--9 rue Gît-le-Coeur (btwn: Quai des Grands Augustins %26amp; rue Saint André des Arts..just %26#39;round the corner from Place Saint Michel) 75006, Metro: Saint Michel--

For what it%26#39;s worth, this address used to be the old %26#39;..beat hotel..%26#39; (the lowest of the low in the old rating system) and a favourite haunt of the %26#39;Beat%26#39; poets and writers (Ginsberg, Burroughs, Corso, et al) of the %26#39;50%26#39;s. In 1999-2000 the building was %26#39;gutted%26#39;--from foundations-to-roof rafters and completely renovated within an inch of its life (pretty much all that remains are foundations, exterior walls and facade) and converted into a completely modern 4-star establishment.





It%26#39;s a hotel with a %26#39;past%26#39;...entirely proletariat roots--turned thoroughly bourgeois--with en-suite bathrooms with modern plumbing and hot water equipped with Jacuzzis...instaed of %26#39;turkish toilets%26#39; on every floor. Ginzberg%26#39;s %26#39;..HOWL..%26#39; might have been written with this in mind. Not sure what to make of Burrough%26#39;s %26#39;NAKED LUNCH%26#39; ??

Thanks for the info, I will look into this one.
