"Tucked into a 17th-century mansion in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Relais Christine has been a quietly beloved hideaway since 1979, and I loved its sense of Parisian history—48 antique-filled rooms designed by Laura Gonzalez, with four that open onto a secret garden. Evenings often revolve around the honor bar by the fireplace, and the Guerlain Spa occupies the former vaulted kitchen of a 13th-century abbey, reinforcing the hotel’s intimate, historic charm." - Lindsey Tramuta, Mary Winston Nicklin
