Hôtel Plaza Athénée
Paris, France
Wander the tree-lined Avenue Montaigne and when you glimpse the flash of red awnings framing a show of pretty geraniums, you’ll know you’re in the right spot. It’s an iconic visual announcing a five-star refuge for luxury travellers and high-rolling fashionistas, well pitched among the boulevard’s high-end fashion houses, with the Champs-Élysées and Musée Yves Saint Laurent within striking distance. Hôtel Plaza Athénée has long been delivering excellence. Opened in 1913, consider it the city’s undeniably stylish grand dame. The association with haute couture goes back to when Christian Dior named one of his collections in honour of the hotel. Guests have included Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Rudolph Valentino, Jackie Kennedy et al. And you might recognise it from scenes in The Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City. Delivering dreamy decadence, interiors are a story of old and new, merging Versailles-level opulence with deco touches and a clean, contemporary finish. Striking Eiffel Tower views frame rooms serving every creature comfort you could want for. Local gastronomes flock for its fabulous fine diner – Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée – while fashion editors and designers come for its luxuriant Dior Spa and champagne at Le Bar. You owe it to the address to dress your best.
