Rendez-vous à Paris

I love L’Hotel in Saint Germain des Pres.  I love its rich colors, dim lighting, and its old-world charm meets modern elegance feel.  Plus, it was the home to Oscar Wilde during his final days in Paris (although given his financial debt at the time, I doubt L’Hotel was a small luxury hotel when he lived there).  Just having a cocktail in the small bar nestled amongst the bookcases is an experience to be had.  So, when I think of a romantic Valentine’s treat, I think of L’Hotel.

L’Hotel is offering a special “Valentine’s Weekend” (February 14 and 15) which includes a two-night stay in a Bijoux room, breakfast in Le Restaurant and champagne upon arrival for €590.

Or, if you live in Paris (and your place already resembles a boudoir) take your Valentine to Le Restaurant (L’Hotel’s one Michelin star restaurant). Enjoy the romantic atmosphere amongst the deep purple velevt drapes and mood lighting for €170 per person, including a glass of champane. Not to mention that the special Valentine’s menu sounds delicious. Or go for the €210 menu, which includes 4 selected glasses of wine for each course. An excellent gift for your foodie love.

But what I would go for, because what fun is Valentine’s without a little decadence, is the “Eat and Treat”. Enjoy a lovely lunch at Le Restauarnt followed by a private couple’s massage next to the underground pool. You will feel like Cleopatra and Ceasar relishing in pure indulgence, all for just €130 per person.

L’Hotel offers gift vouchers if you are unsure of the date. After all, who needs February 14…when you are in love, every day is Valentine’s, right? (read: I don’t need an excuse for diamonds and chocolate!).
