Hotel de Crillon in Paris

Paris offers an endless number of places ideally suited to the tastes and expectations of the rich and famous. Hotel de Crillon, overlooking the Place de la Concorde, was once a palace, a real one, and it still feels as if you could bump into a duchess in the corridor. As indeed you might.  F&T was lucky enough to stay there once and the staff really do treat all their guests like royalty. There is also one of the finest views in Paris from here, looking across the Place and towards the Champs Elysees.

Although the rooms have been maintained in the original Louis XV style, now decadent comfort comes with the latest in information technology as well. With postcard views of Paris at night, you can easily wander to nearby top boutiques by day, as well as the Champs Elysées, the Louvre, or the Tuileries Gardens. C’est si bon!

Psst! Watch out for celebs and even world royalty here.
