Since I began touring the world about 10 years in the past, there was this ONE lodge I all the time longed to go to – none aside from probably the most iconic, historic, beautiful, elegant and all-time traditional lodge of the world: the luxurious Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris. A lodge which additionally occurs to have probably the most idyllic view to the Eiffel Tower.
 

Located on the coronary heart of Paris, on the celebrated Avenue Montaigne, proper subsequent to the well-known Avenue des Champs-Elysées inside strolling distance from the Eiffel Tower, the lodge has way more to supply than its superb location.
 

One of many oldest eating places within the metropolis, the legendary Le Relais, provided such a tremendous eating expertise that it even satisfied Christian Dior, who used to lunch on the restaurant, to maneuver its well-known boutique to Avenue Montaigne – proper throughout the road from his favourite restaurant – so he wouldn’t must miss a meal. Le Relais has hosted a plethora of different famous personalities like TV and film stars, actors, musicians, politicians in addition to royal households and distinguished households from all around the world. It’s a tremendous Artwork Deco Brasserie, welcoming each lodge visitors and guests – featuting its personal non-public entrance for that function. 
 

Holding three Michelin stars, Alain Ducasse fastidiously designed the menu of the Restaurant Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée. There, Alain Ducasse tells a private story, impressed by nature and the fish-vegetables-cereals trilogy, making a meat-free Menu that respects the Planet, in the end delivering a inventive interpretation of Haute Delicacies that seduces the senses in Alain Ducasse’s distinctive manner.

The lodge options 5 eating places together with the well-known Le Bar on the bottom ground the place Thierry Hernandez works its mixologist magic. Seize a cocktail and benefit from the environment!

My chocolate affair started on the foyer the place I had a conventional scorching chocolate from the well-known Alain Ducasse. It was a bucket record expertise because it has acquired numerous optimistic suggestions and there I used to be eventually: on the Plaza Athénée Hallway. My cup of chocolate was fairly robust which was odd since I particularly requested the well-trained waiter for a lightweight one. Although it was a tad bitter too, its texture and scent had been glorious; it was one of the crucial wonderful cups of chocolate I’ve ever had in a lodge’s Foyer/Hallway.
 

Inside seconds you’ll realise and acknowledge the extent of luxurious and uniqueness that characterizes the hallway. To not point out the infallible, exceptional, exemplary stage of customer support supplied – customer support at its perfect.
 

That alone is motive sufficient to go to the lodge – do you have to admire luxurious and glorious service and have an eye fixed for element.

What a greater technique to finish this publish than this DREAM suite?!
 

My authentic plan to start with, was to go to the Eiffel Suite – you already know, the suite the place Carrie Bradshaw lived when she moved to Paris following Alexander Petrovsky (in case you are a Intercourse & the Metropolis woman fan, you will know…). Because the airing of the episode the suite is continually absolutely booked and I ended up visiting the Status Suite – which is definitely even higher.
 

There aren’t many lodges in Paris providing that form of wonderful view in direction of the town. The road between actuality and fantasy is blurry when trying outdoors the window: is it a window body or an avant-garde masterpiece of the Eiffel Tower? Exhausting to inform. Providing a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower and Avenue Montaigne, the Status Suite certainly deserves each award.
 

With its environment oozing old-time Parisian romance, the Suite is a advantageous instance of luxurious: velvet sofas, advantageous gold detailing and glorious high quality marbles. All of the luxuries!
