Belle Époque

Paris The newly opened La Réserve Paris exemplifies old-world luxury at the heart of the city of romance. Comprising 26 suites and 14 rooms with picturesque views, the hotel’s opulent design bespeaks 19th-century Parisian chic— plenty of oak, velvet and antique furniture— without skimping on the best of modern-day amenities. Highlights of the property are the 16-metre indoor pool, wine cellars in the suites, and a smoking lounge and library. Le Gabriel, the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant, serves up contemporary French dishes that reflect the changing seasons. lareserve-paris.com
