Hotel Plaza Athénée in Paris


I recently discovered this gem from one of my twitter comrades and I fell in love. Of course, I immediately thought this would make such a perfect post for Valentine’s day since one can’t miss the beautiful red with the splashes of white.  The Hotel Plaza Athénée  offers an unforgettable experience  where one is surrounded by luxury, Parisian elegance and charm. It’s also ideally located between the Avenue des Champs Elyse’es and the Eiffel Tower.


Awww…, wouldn’t this be the perfect spot to celebrate Valentine’s Day?


What a view!

Such intricate architectural features –this room exudes luxury and elegance. I also love how that beautiful mirror perched perfectly on the mantle mimics the architectural gold frames in the room.

perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun…

There she is, the Magnificent Eiffel Tower! The perfect backdrop to a romantic dinner

Pink and gold never looked so pretty


So, anyone off to Paris? Happy Tuesday to all! XX

    Wouldn't it be a dream come true to stay here? I am really loving all the ivy climbing up the walls in the courtyard and the bright red awnings! Gorgeous! Definitely on my bucket list!

    Love all the reds too! I just wanted a glass of wine and corner to sit in to take it all in.

    Pink and gold will NEVER get old! I've got to dig out my photos of when I was in Paris....years ago. It was the old snap and click, 12-24-36 rolls of film :) Those were the days, but the love lives on 4ever XOXO

    One of the hotels on my Paris bucket list. I have stayed at the one in NYC and the service is impeccable. Of course Paris has that fabulous location and views going for it. Beautiful shots - even a non-pink girl like me has to love that gorgeous pink and gold room!
