Paris is blessed with many things to make the holiday season truly unforgettable: architecture that looks even better under a few inches of snow, amazing seasonal food, sales at some of the best stores in the world, and enough cultural distractions to break up any family time.

Sitting dead next to the Louvre, down the street from the Galeries Lafayette and the boutiques of the Rue St Honoré, and only a short taxi away from the Champs-Élysées, the hotel will serve as a nexus for tourists during the holiday season. ]]> JetSetCD 2008-12-17T12:10:32-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/12/23/1411/8761 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/rbc_bruges.jpg" class="imgborder"><p><i>Guess what <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/monica%20guy">Monica Guy</a> was doing yesterday on Boxing Day?

The turkey-smeared plates are piled up in the sink and you are feeling the after-effects of Aunty Jean's home-made concrete mince pies and knock-out Christmas pud.
