Parisian Splendor:our Top 10 picks!

Top 10 Paris Hotels 

Embark on a journey through the dazzling array of accommodations in the City of Light, where each hotel tells its own unique story. From opulent palace retreats to charming boutique hideaways, here are our handpicked Top 10 Paris Hotels, each offering a distinctively memorable experience. 

  1. Cheval Blanc: If there is any hotel in Paris that combines location (in the heart of the city) design, understated elegance, and refinement into one breathtaking hotel, this is it. And our choice for the best rooftop bar in Paris is also here, Celeste.
  2. Hotel Plaza Athenee: Some historic hotels can feel a bit stuffy, formal, and bloated. Others feel overdesigned and overbranded, so you’re not quite sure what city you’re in. That’s not the case here. The Hotel Plaza Athenee has not only maintained its Parisian vibe but elevates the experience to new levels.
  3. Maison Souquet: Considered by some to be the most romantic hotel in Paris, this is one of our absolute favorite boutique hotels anywhere in the world. 20 rooms designed by the inspired Jacques Garcia, you’ll have your choice of Chinese, Indian, Japanese or Napoleon III styles. This hotel is an absolute jewel box not to be missed.
  4. Maison Albar: The only collection of hotels to make the list, we love their concept of “casually luxurious.” With 5, family run properties in Paris; Champs Elysees, Pont Neuf, Vendome (our fave) and Le Diamond, the hotels feel more like your home away from home than a hotel.
  5. Ritz Paris: Enough has been said and written about Paris to fill a small library. And there’s good reason. Since its opening in 1898, the Ritz Paris has been the world’s standard for luxury travel. If your travel doesn’t include a stay here, you owe it to yourself to visit for a cocktail at Bar Hemingway or tea in the Salon Proust.
  6. Hotel Pont Royal: This gem of a hotel, located in St. Germain des Pres is a once in a lifetime moment for most of us. Intimate, historic not many hotels can boast 5 star accommodations, a incredible bar and a Michelin starred restaurant, L’Atelier Joel Robuchon. We absolutely love the hotel’s Left Bank vibe, and the Panoramic Terrace Suite is one of the best spaces in the city.
  7. L’Hotel: The last home of legendary Oscar Wilde, L’Hotel is one of the most exciting hotels in the city. Great accommodation and service are in order, but it’s at night when the hotel comes to life. Jazz music, cocktails at Wilde’s Lounge and a great crowd make this much more than a hotel.
  8. Monsieur Georges: This sophisticated hotel prides itself on feeling more like your Paris pied a terre than a hotel, and it’s true. The vibe here is private club residence, glamour and you get the feeling that only those in the know, know.
  9. Maison FL: Just across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, this lovely, 4 star hotel is an elegant property with 64 thoughtfully designed rooms. One of our favorite features here, is the availability to reserve a day room, perfect for those who have a long stopover but still want to explore the city.
  10. Hotel Chopin: We simply can’t get enough of this place! If you’re looking for a truly Parisian experience, and don’t want to break the bank, the Hotel Chopin is an awesome choice. Charming, well located and situated in one of Paris’ secret gems, the Passage Joufroy, a stay here will help you discover your inner Parisian.

Cities On The Danube

Cities On The Danube

Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited Greece, literally more times than I can count. And like most travelers who feel they really know a destination, I was sure I knew the best way to experience “the real Greece” and avoid the tourists.

Boy, was I wrong. To start with, I know enough to avoid the traps; book early, travel in the late spring/early summer, spend more than one night in Athens, fly rather…
