25 Av. Montaigne, 75008 Paris, france
You are not at a loss for five-star hotels in Paris, but the Hôtel Plaza Athénée really radiates world-class luxury and splendour. Exquisitely presented rooms, with views of the Eiffel Tower or of the charming courtyard bursting with red geraniums (which is converted into an ice-skating rink during the winter months!), an absolutely divine Dior spa and gym, exceptional food, and flawless service make this one of the most extraordinary hotels in one of the chicest cities in the world.
