Celebrating the City of Light
by Darren DunneWhether one spends a weekend or a lifetime in the City of Light, it’s hard not to fall in love. No other city offers such an alluring mix of culture, warmth and romance (not to mention the fashion and sights). In honor of one of our favorite destinations, we present eight hotels that celebrate the best of Paris.
Celebrating the City of Light
Buddha Bar’s range of boutique hotels are renowned for their Neo-Asian look and playful interiors, something that’s proudly on show at Buddha Bar Hotel Paris. Built in 1734, the site was a hotel particulier (grand townhouse) for two centuries before a distinctive makeover transformed it into one of Paris’ most trendy hotels. The hotel is nestled inside Paris’ 8th Arrondissement with Grand Palais, the Louvre and Tuileries Gardens all close at hand, making it an ideal perch for those in town to see the sights.

A short stroll from the Arc de Triomphe one can find a modern, luxury hotel designed by the legendary Pierre Yves Rochon, and that is Hotel Keppler. Expect a visual feast upon crossing the threshold of this 39-room gem, as splashy decor and wild animal prints are just some of the design hallmarks. Breakfast is served daily in the hotel’s charming dining room; while an on-site health club is open 24-hours a day to helps guests work off all that legendary French cooking.

At Hôtel du Collectionneur, this heritage is celebrated through the stylish period interiors and unique artworks that have been carefully hand-selected from around the world.

Paris is renowned as one of the world’s culinary capitals and at Le Burgundy, guests can sample Michelin Star fare at the in-house Le Baudelaire Restaurant. Head Chef Pierre Rigothier has earned his Star with a classically French menu that celebrates colors and flavors. The end result is a destination dining experience in a city where competition is high. Outside the restaurant, Le Burgundy provides an artful Parisian luxury hotel with 59 refined rooms and suites, a large spa and indoor swimming pool.

Whimsical interiors and dramatic illusions mark La Maison Champs Élysées as the hotel of choice for those in search of a magical Parisian hotel experience. Charting its origins back to Haussmann’s renovation of Paris in the 19th century, the building recently underwent a staggering upgrade with interiors by quirky fashion designer Martin Margiela. The result is one of the most unique design hotels in the city.

Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris
Napoleonic Paris lives on at Four Seasons Hotel George V, a high point for sophistication and elegance in a city famed for both. Built in 1928, this eight-storey city landmark is home to luxurious guest rooms, lovingly restored 18th century tapestries and an exquisite art collection. Then there’s the presence of the twice Michelin-starred Le Cinq restaurant. Here, classic French culinary techniques and the freshest regional ingredients create a dining experience to remember.
