The largest suite in the city of light

The Royal Suite, Hotel Plaza Athenee WHEN Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw flew to Paris in Sex And The City, the Hotel Plaza Athenee was the obvious choice to film her scenes — thanks to its direct view of the Eiffel Tower and ultrachic decor.

At 4,843sqft, the Royal Suite is the largest hotel suite in the French capital. It includes four bathrooms, two lounges, an office and kitchen, and is filled with furniture dating back to the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods.

The bathrooms are stocked with Guerlain toiletries and lined with Italian marble. There’s also a steam room and jacuzzi.

With security a priority, there’s no plastic key card — only a James Bond-style fingerprint entry system.

So as not to spoil the classic Parisian elegance, the nine flat-screen televisions are concealed inside mirrors.

On arrival, guests get a complimentary bottle of Krug champagne and a ‘pillow menu’, with a choice of de-stressing, ‘beautifying’, horsehair, osteopathic or synthetic pillows.
