No life is complete
   without spending at least 1-day in Paris

Dubbed the City of Light (la Ville Lumière) and Capital of Fashion, it is home to some of the world’s finest and most luxurious fashion designers and cosmetics, such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Guerlain, Lancôme, L’Oréal, and Clarins. A large part of the city, including the banks of the Seine, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city has the second highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world (after Tokyo, which is much larger) and contains numerous iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame de Paris, the Louvre, the Moulin Rouge and the Basilique du Sacré Cœur, making it one of the most popular international tourist destinations in the world, with around 14 million tourists annually.

LA RÉSERVE PARIS HOTEL AND SPA

8th arrondissement

Interior design by Jacques Garcia.

The City of Light sparkles a little brighter at La Réserve Paris Hotel and Spa. Minutes from the Grand Palais and the Champs-Élysées, this 19th-century urban mansion is the very essence of French refinement. The hotel provides a private-club atmosphere – only guests may access the library, smoking lounge, pool, and fitness center. Accommodations feature silk walls, velvet drapes, and brocade taffeta. Expect ultra-personalized service, including tailored experiences that reveal exclusive sides of Paris. Gastronomic offerings surprise and delight at the two-Michelin-starred Le Gabriel, winner of Virtuoso’s 2019 Best Dining Experience.

J.K. PLACE PARIS

Rive Gauche

My current favorite on the Left Bank. Cruise the Seine in the hotel’s 131-foot boat, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen, a movie theater, and room for 50 of your closest friends.

The folks at J.K. Place Paris know a thing or two about effortless Parisian style. Here, guests are treated to accommodations with plush furnishings, parquet floors, and spacious marble-clad bathrooms. Craft cocktails and curated bites like Prosecco-marinated pineapple, quail egg canapés, and squid-ink risotto. And a subterranean spa specializing in anti-aging and anti-inflammatory treatments born from the work of aesthetics expert Dr. Barbara Sturm. Reserve one of the 29 rooms and suites, or book them all for the ultimate private escape.
