"Housed in a mansion that once belonged to a famed couturier and redesigned as a tribute to the Belle Époque, this intimate Palace features silk wall hangings, gilded woodwork, herringbone oak parquet and roughly 40 antiques‑filled rooms that evoke a private‑home atmosphere; its high‑end dining, led by chef Jérôme Banctel, is so sought after that reservations can have long wait lists." - Mary Winston Nicklin
