Photo Tour Of The Stunning Mandarin Oriental Paris
19 photos
Come, come on in off Rue Saint Honoré. We're in the lobby of Mandarin Oriental Paris<br/>
The property is centered around a secluded garden (so perfect for afternoon tea)...<br/>
...and if you desire, there’s a giant whimsical "birdcage" ideal for hosting intimate dinner parties.<br/>
Next we can check out the spa, gym, and pool. There are hand-crafted camellias wall to wall, lining the way.<br/>
The spa is one of the largest in Paris.<br/>
And don't miss out on the pool, it's a little oasis in the middle of the city. Feel free to help yourself to the spicy ginger tea and every magazine you could desire.<br/>
Shall we head up for a drink next? Champagne cocktails are their claim to fame...<br/>
...and you gotta love the Lalique crystal walls. Extravagant but wonderfully understated.<br/>
The hotel has 99 rooms and 39 suites...<br/>
...each outfitted with hot water heaters, Mariage Frères teapots (and matching teacups), alongside tea from London-based JING Tea.<br/>
How's this for a bathroom?<br/>
Though for something even more grand, the Royale Mandarin Suite is just shy of 4,000 square feet. This one-bedroom duplex has housed a number of celebrities and designers...<br/>
...and here's a look at the dining room and bar. Who needs to go out when you can call in for a chef and mixologist?<br/>
Or we could just take an all-day bubble bath...look to your right for the Eiffel Tower.<br/>
And when a sweet craving hits, head downstairs to the Cake Shop...<br/>
...or the signature St. Honoré stuffed with vanilla bean whipped cream and outfitted in caramel.<br/>
The bakery also does a number of petit sweets like cocoa cookies and airy chouquettes. <br/>
Paris is beautiful during the day...but a midnight stroll is most magical. <br/>
Sleep in, breakfast is served until late. We're partial to the Hong Kong breakfast. Dim sum steamed to order and jook with all the fixings.<br/>
