My Find for Paris - 2010.......A wow!

In October of this year, I visited a new 5 star boutique hotel on the right bank  called Le Burgundy.Just walking in the hotel lobby, all I could say was WOW!, the restaurant and bar - a WOW!, the rooms..a WOW! I have never in such a long time been bowled over by a hotel ( and I love the Paris Four Seasons, le Meurice, Crillon to name a few) in years. It has all the bells and whistles of the major luxury hotels in Paris plus its cozy and intimate and the kind of place you never want to leave. Located on rue Duphot, the elegant and forever fashionable spirit of Paris is evident at Le Burgundy, a boutique hotel that opts to whisper its charms as opposed to shouting them from the rooftops. Make sure to check out the indoor pool which offers color therapy.

Paris is well known for its fashion, romance, song, cuisine, and appreciation for the arts. What outsiders sometimes miss, though, is the grace and balance its residents and purveyors exude when displaying them to the world. This display is very evident at Le Burgundy, a virtual case study in what makes Paris great. Firstly, the arts: Le Burgundy honors them by way of Guy de Rougemont's marble puzzle sculpture in the front lobby. And one cannot over look the culinary arts, which get their fair share of exposure at the Restaurant and Winter Garden, where Parisian classics are prepared with a creative spirit.

Architecture and interior design can be experienced in any room or suite, where classical lines add drama among various brightly colored fabrics, flower arrangements, and artworks.

Paris and its residents always strive to look their best, and guests of Le Burgundy will have every opportunity to follow suit at the Spa & Fitness Club. Swim, sweat, steam, soak, or limber your way to a more graceful and glamorous you.
