No need to kid yourself or say “I’m in a back-to-school mood, goodbye holidays”: we haven’t moved on! That said, we all dread the fateful moment of recovery. Ciao das dolce Idleness, the chilled attitude and the luxury of doing nothing with one exception: lounging around in the hotel like a princess. And precisely because we want to keep the holiday spirit very close to us, we do not hesitate to go to intimate and charming hotels during the weekends of September. Three buzzwords: Strolling, chilling and always in the holiday mood…
Les Plumes
In the heart of the 9th arrondissement of Paris, we enter a universe full of literature and poetry signed by Les Plumes. Right at 10 rue Lamartine, Victor Hugo’s writings and Verlaine’s poems rock us all weekend long. A charming hotel that invites us to take a break in the present moment. Like a modern guest house, we love the patio that welcomes the most beautiful rays of Paris reflected in the large windows. And we fell in love with the Prestige room. No need to argue: a round bed, an old-fashioned bathtub and a romantic aesthetic enhanced by the rustic charm of the wooden beams, what else… An address that bets on intimacy and secret charm. The little extras we love? The room service that gives French gastronomy letters of nobility and its ultra-modern bar that turns our heads with its boldest cocktail creations…
Hotel Particulier Montmartre
Or the smallest and most secret Parisian hotel. We slide open the wrought-iron gate and in front of us, a building of the chicest and most elegant kind imposes itself. In the heart of the 18th century, this former private home of the Hermès family welcomes you with open arms and hearts. The appointment will not be missed as it feels like home. We love the garden room by the Nile (do you have the reference?) with its thick burgundy velvet curtains, its wallpaper walls projecting a lush tropical garden, it’s gilding, its pristine white bathroom and its furniture, sometimes in marble, sometimes in rattan, that we love transferred to an exotic location. The lucky ones can sleep in the Les Folies du Ciel suite with a breathtaking view of the Iron Lady. The little extra? Enjoy sophisticated cocktails at Très Particulier, the ultra-chic and sensual bar of this private hotel. Between golden jewellery and plant atmosphere, clinging is sure.
