2 Days in Paris: Authentic Bistros and Hidden Gems Locals Love
"On the Left Bank in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia is the only hotel with a Palace distinction (France’s highest designation above five stars) south of the River Seine. Built in 1910 in the art nouveau style, the property has hosted everyone from Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway to Josephine Baker, who used it as her Parisian pied-à-terre. It was beautifully refreshed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte in recent years, with calming navy and beige tones and plenty of natural light." - Lindsey Tramuta
