My favourite hotel in Paris has always been the very stylish Hotel Lancaster. Interestingly, at the moment, two of the most iconic and glamorous hotels in Paris, The Ritz and Hotel de Crillon, are closed for renovation.

The Hotel Lancaster is all about pared back elegance ..

a sophisticated, muted colour palette ..

its artwork, chandeliers and Louis XV and XVI furniture ..

and of course .. has something for everyone.

Beautiful hotels in Paris, particularly at this time of the year, are for slipping into for a hot chocolate and luxuriating.  If you are checking in .. all the better.  I can’t wait for the grand openings of The Ritz and Hotel de Crillon.
