The Peninsula Paris

The Best 12 Paris Hotels for Christmas and New Year’s Eve — Turning Up the Holiday Magic

"At The Peninsula Paris , Pastry Chef Anne Coruble turns afternoon tea into a Christmas reverie. Her new winter menu unfolds like a story told in spices and citrus — cinnamon rolls glazed with cassia, orange marmalade-filled spiced cakes, pine nut mochi and a speculoos-praline bar that recalls childhood indulgence. But her pièce de résistance is Joyau des Pins, this year’s bûche de Noël: a sculptural 13-layer ode to the Provençal tradition of thirteen desserts. With notes of pine, rice, honey and wood, it tastes like a walk through a winter forest — refined, nostalgic and perfect for the season." - Ty Gaskins
