Three-Key Hotels
Paris, FranceDestinations in themselves, the Three-Key hotels are so exceptional they're standalone reasons to hop over to Paris. Spend a night at the sumptuous Saint James, credited with being Paris’ only chateau-hotel, and spend the evening perched on a high stool in the library bar, an Old-Fashioned in hand, surrounded by years of literary history. Speaking of history, you can’t do better than the Ritz, with its regal rooms and sprawling bouncy, beds where staff will have your initials embroidered on every pillow, even just for a night. Another standout is the Cheval Blanc, which has enough to tempt you to never set foot outside, from its dazzling pool to the rooftop restaurants with some of the most enchanting views of Paris.
