In 1852, the Emperor Napoléon III commissioned Georges Haussmann to transform Paris, a quiet medieval city, into a modern and bustling capital which would enjoy world-wide recognition. During this period, many unique hotels were built which have today become symbols of traditional French style. In 1911, at 25 Avenue Montaigne, the Plaza Athénée opened at the same time as the nearby Theatre des Champs Elysées: the hotel soon became the gathering place for the most prominent composers and performers of the day. By 1936, the hotel had achieved international fame. The Galerie des Gobelins and the restaurant, its salons and apartments hosted many great personalities of this period including Joséphine Baker, Rudolph Valentino and Maurice Chevalier. When Christian Dior opened on Avenue Montaigne in close proximity to the Plaza Athénée, a new era began. Avenue Montaigne quickly turned into the avenue of ‘haute couture’, and the Plaza Athénée became Paris’ focus for fashion and the arts. In the past, the Plaza Athénée has hosted such famous guests as Grace Kelly, Gary Cooper, Jackie Kennedy and the Ford family. The Plaza Athénée has now become a landmark. Since the beginning of year 2000, the complete refurbishment of the Plaza Athénée has combined its traditional classical style with the most modern technology, further enhancing its already legendary reputation as one of the great hotels of the world. Recently renovated and scented with the unique fragrance of amber, the hotel's 146 spacious rooms and 45 suites are a showcase of French taste at its very best.

Amansara, the former guesthouse of King Sihanouk, is situated on the edge of Siem Reap just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site. It derives its name from the twinning of two Sanskrit words – aman (peace) and apsara (the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu mythology). Set in a garden compound, the 24-suite resort has the ambience of a private home and is the ideal base for travellers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majestic ruins of Angkor. A variety of temple tours and cultural walks is available as part of the guest experience.

Rising to breathtaking heights where the air is tangibly crisp, resides an intimate alpine retreat, Le Mélézin, in the French Alps. Standing four storeys high under a distinctive black slate roof it provides an après-ski home set in a mesmeric wonderland of groomed slopes - both nursery and couloirs – framed by snow caressed conifer forests under a piercingly blue midday sky. Ideally situated on the Bellecôte ski slope, the hotel is a lively home of glowing warmth, a stroll from the epicentre of one of Europe’s most fashionable and exclusive resorts, Courchevel 1850, with access to some of the most exceptional skiing in Europe…directly from the front door. Le Mélézin’s history dates back to 1956, when it was opened as Le Savoy. The village of Courchevel was little more than an alpine pasture, a summer gateway for hikers and mountain climbers. The Trois Vallées region that embraces Courchevel today is acknowledged for its beautifully groomed slopes, superb infrastructure and some of the consistently best skiing conditions in the world. Situated right on the Bellecôte piste allows ski in and ski out access to the resort. Watch skiers slalom from the comfort of Le Mélézin’s Salon. Enjoy spectacular mountain views throughout the resort from wall-sized windows in the lounges, bedrooms and bathrooms, catching the alpine sun, forests of pine and larch and the skiers themselves. The scenic vistas from Courchevel 1850 open all the way from the French to the Swiss Alps. The four-storey, slate-roof of Le Mélézin is imbued with the comforts and intimacy of a manor house. Reflective spot lighting lends a patina of warmth throughout. The classically patterned parquet flooring and panelling of the Lobby and Bar feature 200 year old oak beams, adding a weathered touch to the updated surroundings. On the ground floor, bronze sculptures of wild birds add a rural French flavour. Its classic ambience and hammam steam room, gym and pool, offer the ultimate in après-ski. The winter season runs from mid-December to mid-April. Cuisine The Dining Room offers traditional French cuisine adapted to the lighter demands of the modern diner, as well as an authentic Thai menu. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in an elegant manor-house setting, amidst old oak beams and engravings. The Bar is decorated in oak panelling and has a classically patterned parquet floor. Weather permitting, the outdoor Terrace serves lunch, refreshments and afternoon tea.

A selection of books and magazines, along with DVDs and CDs, are available in English and French. Sundeck This area is designed for private sunbathing, with deck chairs for reading and lounging. Spa The Spa offers treatments in two massage rooms, one massage/facial/treatment room and one Thai/Shiatsu room. Hammam and gym The classic and convivial hammam (steam room) with its capri-stone walls and vaulted ceiling is a popular spot for winding down. A massage or facial is a natural complement to the steam soak. The adjacent gym has a variety of exercise equipment. Swimming pool Set between stone columns, the cosy indoor pool basks in natural light which filters down through a glass-pyramid skylight. There is one jacuzzi at either side. Ski room The ski room opens directly onto the Bellecôte ski slope and offers racks for storing skis and snowboards, as well as heated racks for boots. Bellboys lay out the skis on the snow every morning, ready for guests to start their day on the slopes. Le Mélézin can arrange for a personal ski instructor, mountain guides and ski passes.
