L'hôtel Lutetia

The 110 year old Hôtel Lutetia has undergone a complete restoration. This last trip we took a little tour. Here in the  Salon Saint-Germain, the glass ceiling by artist Fabrice Hyber, was probably my favorite.

Hôtel Verlaine

Located in Butte aux Cailles, the bare trees are a lovely accessory.

If you're searching for a hotel in Paris that's a bit on the wild side, look no further. The Hôtel Original is certainly that. I took this shot looking up the spiral staircase.

Tromp l'oeil

The elegant Hôtel de Crillon at Place de la Concorde, has been undergoing extensive renovations. Built in 1758, it has been a luxury hotel since 1909. It closed it's doors in 2013 for the renovations and is scheduled to reopen in 2017. During this restoration process, this lovely tromp l'oeil screen was erected to hide the day to day construction from view.

The Doorman

The Four Seasons George V is not a place where I hang out when in Paris, but last January I was fortunate to have an appointment to photograph their stunning floral arrangements.  Just walking up to the hotel was a thrill. The doormen are even dressed to the nines!

L'Hôtel Verlaine

Black awnings and bare black branches. J'adore!

Pour la petite fille

While photographing at the Four Seasons Hôtel George V,  I spotted this perfect  little table and chair set for a special someone who would soon be having petit déjeuner with her parents.  They think of everything!

Signes du samedi - L'hôtel

Simple and to the point.  I love these black and white hôtel signs all over Paris.

CDP Theme Day - Pedestrian Crossing

This month City Daily Photobloggers around the globe are posting their take on this month's theme - Pedestrian Crossing.  Piece o' cake for me.  I stood in front of this mural at Place Vendôme and waited f a bit for this.  As for the mural, it's covering major renovation to the Hôtel Ritz Paris for now. (I'm including a smaller view. As you can see, they've not done much of a job of covering it.)  If you are anxious to spend 850+ euros a night for a room or 3600+ euros for a suite, sadly you must wait until 2014 for the reopening.

Hôtel Jeanne d'arc

Well if the mirror is any indication, this must be a delightful place to stay in the Marais.

Paris Rouge LXXI - Hôtel du Louvre

Question:   Is the Hôtel du Louvre always bathed in red or just this evening especially pour moi?
