The Westin Paris-Vendôme
Location is everything in Paris, and The Westin Paris-Vendôme’s is hard to beat. Set across from the Tuileries Gardens, the 428-room hotel is a fashion favorite and often plays host to catwalks à la Saint Laurent and Christian Lacroix. Rooms are simple but elegant in design, especially the suites, which are decorated in rich fabrics and beautiful moldings. Top-tier suites like the presidential, royal, and junior suites also overlook the city’s most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower. The stunning restaurant, swathed in shades of regal purple and gold, is the work of one of France’s famous interior designers, Jacques Garcia, who is also behind landmark eateries like Fouquet’s on the Champs-Élysées.
