PARIS has a new boutique five-star hotel in the Opera district.  Derby Hotels, well established with a number of quality products in Barcelona and Madrid, and the four-star Caesar near Marble Arch in London, has opened the 93-guestroom Hotel Banke.  Previously an HSBC outlet it features a classic exterior with ‘Eiffel-style’ architecture and an elegant interior design.  The sound-proofed guestrooms offer flat-screen LCD TVs, wireless internet access, laptop safes, mini bars and polished marble bathrooms.  The hotel's 17 luxury suites offer 650sq ft of space.  Room service is available 24 hours.  The hotel offers two full-service restaurants.  One specializes in haute Mediterranean cuisine and the other is a more private space reserved for group functions and special events.  There is a fitness centre.  A trendy cocktail lounge, called The Klub, will open later this summer. www.derbyhotels.com/page.php?id=1206
