J.K. Place Paris

As the first venture outside of Italy for renowned luxury hotel brand J.K. Place, the opening of this exclusive Paris bolt-hole caused a stir on Paris' Left Bank. Housed in the former European Consulate on Rue de Lille, suites are impossibly stylish; Italian architect Michele Bonan's bespoke interiors feature a blend of Parisian antiques and custom-made Italian pieces which will make you swoon. The Italian hoteliers are known for very personalised service, and the newest addition to the group does not stray from this ethos; expect effusive, first-name-basis attention from the moment you arrive. The unique collection of art and antiques which dresses each suite adds to the feeling that you are not staying in a hotel but, in fact, the townhouse of a family friend. Book a suite for beautiful living space that you will struggle to leave. Your room reservation provides access to the hotel's exclusive, subterranean Sisley spa; book a rejuvenating facial to start the day after breakfast in bed. The spa boasts a heated indoor swimming pool, a rare treat for a Parisian bolt-hole. At dinner time, head to the sleek, northern Italian Casa Tua, a sharing-plate restaurant. After-dinner cocktails are a must; the lounge is a see-and-be-seen hang-out for the cream of the Paris fashion crop - order a Negroni to complete the experience. A stand-out city stay.
