Think of Paris, and you’ll picture the majestic Eiffel Tower, buttery croissants and drinking wine in grand courtyards. While you’ll be keen to experience the City of Love itself, there are a few hotels that are in themselves worthy of a trip.
In fact, there’s one particularly special hotel where you’ll get Eiffel Tower views, amazing food and a garden courtyard all-in-one.
This place we’re talking about? The picture-perfect Hôtel Plaza Athénée.
Where is Hôtel Plaza Athénée?
Plaza Athénée stands on the most sophisticated avenue in Paris, Avenue Montaigne. Surrounded by designer stores such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chloé, Céline and Prada, this is one of the most glamourous streets in all of Paris.
You’ll be within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.
What’s so special about this hotel?
Where do we begin? With a view of the Eiffel Tower at one end, and the Champs-Elysées at the other, this is no ordinary hotel.
1,900 red geraniums adorn the hotel façade, which were inspired by a love story, creating a fairytale setting for romantic moments. Hands down, Hôtel Plaza Athénée is one of the most romantic hotels in the world.
You can also book a special Instagrammers package, where you’ll have a three-hour photo shoot with a photographer who is a social media expert and exclusive access to iconic parts of the hotel.
Pose on balconies with a view of the Eiffel Tower, the green oasis Cour Jardin courtyard, breathtaking staircases or the majestic breakfast room and its 10,000 crystal chandelier drops…
Waking up to a Parisian breakfast on your balcony here is an unforgettable experience.
How much does it cost to stay?
Rates are to be expected for a five-star hotel, smack bang in the centre of Paris that looks as beautiful as this. Did we mention it has a three-star Michelin restaurant?
Guests at Plaza Athénée dine on vegetables and fruit grown exclusively for them in the Queen’s Garden at Versailles.
Oh, there’s also a Dior spa to add an bigger dash of luxury.
