Honeymoon Destination: City of Love- Paris

Paris, the City of Love might sound as the most clichéd honeymoon destination. But just a visit to Google Images on Paris is bound to charm you into a booking a romantic trip to the picturesque Paris. 

Walk on the Streets of Paris
There are plenty of must-see places in Paris, but make sure you spend at least a day strolling off the beaten path, as this is the only way to discover the real Paris: a lively cosmopolitan but undeniably French city.

Gaze at Eiffel Tower
A visit to Paris is never complete without a gaze upon the Eiffel Tower. Plan a lunch picnic in the park or along the Seine. There is a great little pedestrian market street, which is surprisingly not terribly overrun with tourists is Rue Cler, just to the southeast of the Eiffel Tower at the Ecole Militaire metro stop. Cheesemongers, Fruit vendors, bakeries, and boulangeries sell baguettes, quiches, sandwiches, tarts, and of course, macaroons, for the perfect afternoon with your beloved.

 Royal Touch
A truly classy place to stay during your honeymoon, the Victoria Palace Hotel (6 Rue Blaise Desgoffe) can’t be beat for luxury, comfort, and hospitality. Honored as a Great Hotel of the World, its classically upholstered walls and tapestries bring you back to the 15th century France of Marie Antoinette. You will be made to feel like royalty with the hotel’s impeccable attention to detail along with extras like bath salts, bathrobes, and dark chocolates on our pillows at turndown. 

 Romantic Rendezvous in Paris
No one understands romance like the French do. The City of Love offers you unlimited options of romantic dinners with your better half. For something classically-French and exquisitely prepared, visit Pierre Gagnaire’s for the perfect French fine dining experience. And if you want the best in modern French dishes, try Atelier de Joel Robuchon where one of the best items on the menu is mashed potatoes.

Best Luxury Hotels in Paris
1.       Four Season George V Luxury Hotel
Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris
A stay at the George V (pronounced George Sank) is the ultimate Parisian experience. This luxurious hotel near the Champs Elysees has long been famous for catering to its guests. You may also recognize its delicately appointed lobby, which was the setting for a scene in the film, "French Kiss."

2.       Victoria Palace Hotel
The Victoria Palace in Paris is a delicately-appointed oasis in the city's hip Montparnasse neighborhood. The four-star hotel has several nice touches such as the weather report delivered nightly to your room. While it isn't in the center of Paris, it is close to Luxembourg Gardens and St. Germain de Pres. The rooms are rather large, especially for Paris. But it's the little things and the outstanding service that make visitors feel like royalty.

3.       InterContinental Paris Luxury Hotel
The Inter-Continental is another of Paris' best addresses. The hotel, already upper crust, recently underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation that kept it closed for a year and a half. The best part is, with the newly-unveiled hotel, there are some deals that make this upscale hotel within the price range of some commoners, at least for a night. This is an ideal hotel for indulging in fabulous spa treatments.


4.       Ritz Paris
Feel like royalty, if for a brief time, with a stay at the infinitely regal Ritz Paris. The rooms and the hotel itself are like a mini visit to Versailles. If you truly have the means, splurge for one of the prestige suites like the Ernest Hemingway, Coco Chanel or Elton John. This is also the ultimate place for families. Children are indulged, with a welcome gift, pint-sized robes and a cuddly toy. Little ones can also take swimming or cooking lessons.

5.       Park Hyatt Paris Vendome
The Park Hyatt Paris Vendome is not just any hotel. It's a fantastic, artfully decorated, courteously staffed hotel, with a newly renovated, gorgeous site that has been brilliantly constructed out of five different buildings. The neighborhood is first-class, a brisk walk from some of the most chi-chi shops in all of Paris, and so is the staff.
