Hotel Plaza Athénée
Best for…The Old School Romantics
It’s impossible not to feel a little like Carrie from Sex & The City when sweeping through the Plaza Athénée’s revolving doors.
The legendary Parisian ‘palace’ on the very smart Avenue Montaigne, just off the Champs Élysees is a parallel universe where the wealthy and well dressed roam.The rooms are gloriously plush, with elegant furnishings, beautiful period details and Parisian views aplenty.The top floor Suite Eiffel, with its own roof terrace is jaw-droppingly beautiful: a pristine Art Deco apartment complete with Eiffel tower views from the bathtub. Bliss!
The famous Relais Plaza restaurant is one of the city’s institutions. In a world where hotels and restaurants are constantly trying to be the next big thing, it’s a real breath of fresh air to be transported back in time amidst the authentic Art Deco glamour. Oozing ‘Old World Old School’ chic, it’s no wonder Yves Saint Laurent lunched here every day in the 80s!
After a continuous stream of power brokers, ladies who lunch and well-heeled families in the Galerie des Gobelins, the hotel’s bar turns into one of Paris’ hippest nightspots where a young crowd of beautiful people congregate at night … just the place to be. €670 per night.
