A thousand feet below, an intensely blue Caribbean Sea dashes against the volcanic Piton Mountains. Faintly scented tropical breezes cool your skin. Your private plunge pool beckons. There are only 9 villas and 23 suites in this ultimate rainforest open-air hideaway. Each offers fine linens, luxurious amenities and four-poster beds made of polished tropical hardwood. And each, deliberately without a fourth wall, invites the spectacular sunsets and astonishing views right inside, to be a part of your very private, very special retreat.

Renowned for its exquisite French garden, Hotel Le Bristol is ideally located on the rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, famous for its fashion boutiques and art galleries, only steps away from the Champs-Elysées, Place de la Concorde, Louvre and Orsay museums. Filled with soft hues, refined woodwork and sumptuous fabrics, the spacious rooms and suites are further enhanced by 18th century furniture and original paintings, combined with ultra modern comfort such as air conditioning and high speed Internet connection. The terraces that adjoin some of the rooms and suites overlook the garden or other views of the most amazing sights of Paris. Generous white Carrara marble bathrooms with separate showers. The Bristol’s restaurant, recently awarded three Michelin stars, will allow you to discover Eric Frechon’s exceptional and innovative food, an unforgettable dining experience in one of our two elegant surroundings: the “Winter Restaurant” features the warmth of oak woodwork, while the “Summer Restaurant” faces the splendid French garden. The lobby bar proposes informal lunches and dinners, as well as afternoon tea; from May to September the clientele is served in the garden. 24-hour room service. Made of teak and glass, the swimming pool opens onto a vast solarium taking in all of Paris.

Delicately poised where the rue Duphot meets the rue Saint-Honorй, in the wings of the Champs-Elysees-Madeleine-Opera "Golden Triangle", this quietly chic hotel brings a light dimension to Parisian life. The architect and decorator have produced a restful setting, blending contemporary furniture and luxurious cloths while favouring space and light. The owner's passion for art is expressed in the ground floor's black-marble Guy de Rougemont puzzle, through which runs a brass thread. Paintings, lithographs and black-and-white photographs bring a personal touch to the decor. Our rooms promote a modern, refined luxury, blending soft armchairs, full-lead crystal lamps, and contemporary half-glassed, half-chromium desks. Ambiances change to suit your pleasure: the walls' beige tones are set off by textured materials in which blue, green, fuschia, bronze or a flowery pattern predominate. The bathrooms also foster a sense of quiet luxury by wedding light-coloured stone, black marble and chrome plumbing. If our bar – with its congenial comfort reminiscent of the English club – is known as “The Baudelaire”, it is because its ceiling bears a monumental fresco by Marco del Re, bringing the verses of the “Flowers of Evil” to life. There, our head bartender awaits you to lead you into the discovery of his equally creative cocktails. You can taste the creations of our pastry chef in the Winter Garden, accompanying them with a large selection of the best teas. An inventive selection of snacks is also available at any time. Le Baudelaire has been awarded a star at the Michelin red guide 2011. Opening onto a quiet patio, the restaurant is your rendezvous with French-style good taste, where people come to enjoy innovative dishes that delve into Parisian tradition while finding their inspiration in the merger of meridians. The kitchens have been entrusted to Pierre Rigothier. A Snacks menu is available around the clock at the Winter Garden. For those who wish to enjoy some refreshment in the intimacy of their room, the Baudelaire's room service is available 24/24. A Zen retreat, in a setting barely hinted at, entirely devoted to your wellbeing. You will find nothing quite relaxes you after a hard day like the time spent in an intimate hammam, a relaxing massage, or a few laps in the beautiful pool's inviting aqua waters.
