Paris

Paris is stunning, Parisians are (mostly) welcoming, taking a private Seine cruise is worth it, and seeing the Eiffel Tower in person is even better than you’d imagine (when you plan ahead and skip the line). When we visit, we repeat a lot of first-timer things, like going to the Louvre or Musee d’Orsay and eating Berthillon ice cream after visiting Notre Dame. But let’s face it: my favorite things to do in Paris are buying designer goods for sometimes less, shopping in general, and eating all the eclairs, croissants, and macarons. One must put a stay in a Parisian palace hotel on your life bucket list. Two of our favorite hotels in Paris are the Mandarin Oriental Paris and Four Seasons Paris George V. You can access our VIP benefits at over 30 Paris hotels. Request rates.
