drifting into a romantic dream of times past. Opened in 1911, its polished
opulence is French chic at its best. It boasts a long line of celebrated guests
that any Hotel would be proud of, with the likes of Grace Kelly, Mata Hari,
Jackie Kennedy and many a royal gracing its elegant luxury.
Located near the Champs Elysées and the Eiffel
Tower, it is in the heart of the designer shopping area. With wonderful views
of Paris and classic dining at La Cour Jardin, it’s a splurge anyone visiting
Paris should indulge in at least once in a lifetime.

- Another once in a
lifetime must do: Le Train Bleu

remains popular with well - heeled travellers and celebrities who go to enjoy
the Belle Époque décor, savour the cuisine and exchange tales of the era of the
grand tour in trains like the Orient Express.
