Destination
France
Luxury hotel reviews, travel guides, and stories.
France has always felt like a masterclass in elegance to us. Whether we were wandering through the historic streets of Lille at Clarance Hotel or soaking up the sun on the French Riviera at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat and Tiara Yaktsa, there is an unmistakable sense of "art de vivre." We love how the country offers such distinct personalities—from the high-energy magic of Disney Hotel New York: The Art of Marvel to the serene, lush gardens of Hotel Le Pigonnet in Aix-en-Provence.
Beyond the stunning landscapes, it’s the culinary and self-care rituals that truly define a French getaway for us. We spent afternoons indulging in traditional haute cuisine at Benoit or honing our skills at Le Cordon Bleu, followed by much-needed rejuvenation at Biologique Recherche. Even when taking in those iconic views of Lyon from Villa Florentine, we found that every corner offered something deeply sophisticated and uniquely French.
