Hôtel Plaza Athénée

Fodor's Review:

Prime-time stardom as Carrie Bradshaw's Parisian pied-à-terre in the final episodes of Sex & the City boosted the street cred of this 1911 palace hotel. But its revival as the city's lap of luxury owes more to the meticulous attention of the renowned chef Alain Ducasse, who oversees everything from the hotel's flagship restaurant and restored 1930s Relais Plaza brasserie to the quality of the breakfast croissants. Rooms have been redone in either Regency, Louis XVI, or deco style, with remote control air-conditioning, mini hi-fi/CD players, and even a pillow menu. The trendy bar has as its centerpiece an impressive Bombay glass comptoir glowing like an iceberg.
