Paris: The Plaza Athénée's Eiffel Suite Goes Pink

When you stay in Paris, you'd best do Paris up right. If you're going to go, you should go all the way — live out all your Carrie Bradshaw-esque fantasies and just treat yourself to all the luxuries that a princess (or prince) such as yourself deserves.

And now you've got a new option for royal digs: the Eiffel Suite at Hotel Plaza Ath�n�e. The property (yes, where the final two eppies of the Sex and the City series were filmed) just put the final touches on a newly revamped suite (complete with a connecting Superior Guestroom), and the space comes in around 300 square-meters, "dripping with costly fabrics, luscious colors and magnificent floor-to-ceiling views."

The brand new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Radisson+Blu+Le+Dokhan%27s+Hotel%2C+Paris+Trocadero/local/1472">Radisson Blu Le Dokhan's</a>, the latest property from the brand <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/4/1201/07199/hotels/Adventures_in_Rebranding_Radisson_SAS_is_Now_Radisson_Blu">formerly known</a> as <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Radisson%20SAS%20Hotels">Radisson SAS</a>, makes the whole fantasy come true well, the first part, anyway. The hotel, located in the 16th arrondissement, features 45 rooms accessible by seriously

Thats why its so exciting to come across a new entry like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Sorbonne/local/1462">Hotel Sorbonne</a> right in the shadow of the Pantheon in Pariss fifth arrondisement.The hotels façade is still undergoing a bit of renovation, so rooms in the front can be a little noisy, but this is Paris, what are you doing sitting around in your hotel room anyway? Besides, the cleaning should be done any day now, so go ahead and book it. And if you need a further incentive, um...look at what's on the desk in the hotel rooms. Yeah,

Paris: Are We Supposed to Call The W Paris 'Double Vé?'

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/eiffeltower.jpg" class="top"> C'est bon: <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/W%20Hotels">W</a> is coming to Paris! Except maybe we're supposed to say "double vé" when we say it out loud? Our American "double-you Paris" sounds significantly less schmaltzy than the "double vé Par-ee" it's probably supposed to be but after consistently butchering French hotel names in the U.S. (let's just say "L'Ermitage" doesn't always roll off the tongue beautifully), perhaps we best not try. Anyway, great news: <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/W%20Hotels">W Hotels</a> has announced plans to open their very first Paris property by 2011. It will be close to Place Vendome, in the Opéra area of the city. According to the <a href="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/from-us-phenomenon-to-global,717541.shtml">press release</a>: <blockquote>W Paris-Opéra will feature 90 stylish guest rooms, a world-class contemporary restaurant

So when we decided to take an empowered single lady trip to Paris, we took a leaf out of uber-empowered single Dita Von Teese, by going for the Left Bank <a href=http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Lutetia/ian/115009>Hotel Lutetia</a>, where shes <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/23/121039/741/hotels/A_Paris_Art_Deco_Delight_for_Dita_von_Teese">apparently staying</a> at the moment. We didnt catch Dita, or anyone else of note, but the bar is the place of choice for a host of French celebs Carla Bruni used to be a regular before she became Mrs. Sarko, and Gerard Depardieu pops in most days. We can imagine that its
