Hôtel Plaza Athénée — Haute Couture’s Grandest Neighbour

Few addresses symbolize Parisian glamour quite like Hôtel Plaza Athénée, perched proudly on Avenue Montaigne — one of the most iconic fashion streets in the world. Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel’s haute couture salon, and dozens of legendary fashion houses that define Parisian luxury. Fashion lovers adore this hotel not only for its enviable location but for its unmistakable identity: Plaza Athénée is couture in hotel form.

Inside, the palace blends refined Haussmann elegance with subtle modern accents. The rooms feel like an invitation to slow down and savour a life embroidered with beauty. Silks, velvets and soft golds drape the interiors, creating an atmosphere that feels more atelier than accommodation. Many suites even offer Eiffel Tower views — a theatrical backdrop for morning coffee or late-night conversations.

The hotel’s concierge team are well-versed in fashion. From arranging private shopping appointments to securing invitations to showroom previews, they ensure guests feel connected to the heartbeat of couture. If travel is an art, Plaza Athénée is the gallery where style resides.

A short walk from Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré — arguably the finest luxury shopping street in Paris — Le Bristol Paris embodies the effortless grace so many designers strive to capture. It’s a sanctuary for travellers who want refined elegance without theatrics. With more than 100 years of heritage, Le Bristol has seen its fair share of style icons, from Hollywood stars to global fashion editors.

Interiors echo the charm of a Parisian apartment — picture soft neutral tones, regal furnishings and signature flourishes that whisper sophistication rather than shout it. The suites are particularly special for fashion lovers: their generous wardrobes, plush dressing areas and natural light are perfect for outfit planning before a night at the Opéra Garnier or a runway presentation.

Fashion Week regulars adore the hotel for its calm, polished atmosphere. While the city buzzes with photographers, models and stylists, Le Bristol offers a serene refuge where you can unwind with a spa treatment, sip a glass of champagne in the lush courtyard garden or dine at Epicure — a three-Michelin-star experience.

Its proximity to Hermès, Lanvin, Chanel, Balenciaga and countless boutiques means you can drift effortlessly between browsing, styling and indulging. For anyone who loves fashion, this neighbourhood becomes an extension of the hotel — a walkable world of iconic craftsmanship.

The Ritz Paris — Where Fashion Legends Feel at Home

The Ritz Paris is more than a hotel; it’s a chapter in the history of fashion itself.

For lovers of style, checking into the Ritz feels like stepping into a world shaped by elegance, innovation and artistic legacy.

Located on Place Vendôme — home to some of the most iconic jewellery maisons and a short walk from Rue Saint-Honoré — the Ritz is perfect for travellers who want to be immersed in refinement. Its interiors are unapologetically grand: crystal chandeliers, marble bathrooms, gold accents and plush upholstery that softens every edge. The Ritz doesn’t follow fashion; it sets the stage for it.

Coco Chanel lived here for 34 years, and her spirit still dances through the corridors. Her eponymous suite remains one of the most sought-after in Paris, adorned with lacquered furniture, monochrome palettes and the understated glamour she adored. Fashion lovers can’t help but imagine her sketching designs in the very rooms that still welcome guests today.

Beyond its legacy, the Ritz appeals to modern fashion enthusiasts with its beauty offerings, private shopping experiences and easy access to Paris Fashion Week venues. After exploring the city’s ateliers, many guests unwind in the legendary Ritz Club & Spa — an oasis where elegance is second nature.
