THIS MONTH´S DEALS

Last December I had the privilege to spend a few days in Paris and experiencing the epitome of Parisian luxury embodied by Hôtel Lutetia and Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet’s.

Hôtel Lutetia, a Left Bank icon, is the only grand hotel in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The suites are a masterpiece of design, blending refined furnishings with modern amenities. Expansive windows frame breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower or the charming Parisian streets below. The Lutetia’s spa, Akasha Holistic Wellbeing, provides a serene escape, while the legendary Bar Joséphine invites you to savor exquisite cocktails in an ambiance reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties.

On the illustrious Champs-Élysées, Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet’s is a beacon of Parisian  glamour. A stay in one of its suites is nothing short of extraordinary. The impeccable service makes you feel like royalty, with personalized touches catering to your every need. Dining at Fouquet’s, the hotel’s iconic brasserie, is a must, offering an exquisite taste of French gastronomy in an atmosphere steeped in cinematic history.

Both hotels redefine luxury, offering not just a place to stay, but an immersive experience of Parisian refinement. Whether indulging in a spa retreat, savoring gourmet delicacies, or simply admiring the beauty of Paris from a private suite, a stay at Lutetia or Le Fouquet’s is nothing less than magical.

To get a good visual of the hotel look & feel please visit my Instagram account and check out the December reels as I videoed my suites for those days.
