Château des Fleurs, France Hotel

France

There’s something about Paris, especially if it includes a dreamy stay in a boutique hotel. Enter Château des Fleurs, a sophisticated abode in Paris’s best-known district. Housed in a 1910 building just off the Arc de Triomphe, it’s the ideal jumping-off point to explore the city. Whether you’re planning to shop the Champs-Elysées, spend afternoons sipping wine in trendy Montmartre or tour museums and galleries, Château des Fleurs makes a warming base. Masterminded by Quintana Partners, the interiors

are just as golden as the location. With just 37 rooms and suites, elegance and romance go hand-in- hand here. Open doors to uncover lavish velvet chairs, a burnt umber palette and original features. It’s Belle Époque but still feels fresh. After a stroll along the Seine, head to the marble bar for a signature Flower Spritz cocktail, then savour classic French cuisine in the lounge. All of which helped to secured a Michelin key earlier this year.

Doubles from £227.
