<br />
Opened in 1910 on the initiative of the Advisory board of the department store “Le Bon Marché” for their important clients, the <a href="https://www.hotellutetia.com/" target="_blank">Lutetia hotel</a> is significant in the history of Paris for being a transition from the Art Nouveau of the day to the then emerging style of Art Deco. <br />
<br />
The Hotel is located at 45 Boulevard Raspail, in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area of the 6th arrondissement of Paris, one of the best-known hotels in the history of Paris on the Left Bank. The architects at the time, commissioned sculptor Léon Binet and later, Paul Belmondo (father of actor, Jean-Paul Belmondo) to decorate the hotel’s facade in the ‘Art Nouveau’ style comprising branch-like depictions with imposing floral details intermingling with grape vines and grape clusters.<br />
<br />
The Lutetia quickly became a place where the anonymous could be found alongside the famous, where art, philosophy, science and politics were continually created, discreetly and without ostentation. A place of intellect; a place of experiment, gifted for creating and developing ideas. <br />
<br />
Hotel Lutetia has undergone a complete renovation and refurbishment, and is welcoming guest once again. The hotel spans seven floors, and its penthouses with private access to terraces with 360-degree views of the city are the crown jewels of this renaissance.<br />
<br />
The iconic Brasserie Lutetia, Bar Aristide with restored frescoes dating back to 1910, Salon Saint Germain with its magnificent glass ceiling, and the breakfast restaurant L'Orangerie complete the hotel offering.<br />

One hundred and thirty years after it first opened in 1886, the Gran Hotel Ingles is reborn. The 48-room property has been completely restored and renovated under the artistic direction of the Rockwell Group. Its elegant and evocative details bring to mind the interior of a luxurious art deco salon: hardwood floors, walls lined with padded leather panels, bronze furniture and glass details. <br />
<br />
Situated in an incomparable location in the city center, it is near the cultural, commercial and leisure areas of the capital. Among its many attributes is a sophisticated restaurant which combines traditional and innovative cuisine, as well as a comprehensive fitness center with top-of-the-line exercise equipment, offering, a varied program of services and activities, and a complete wellness area with a wide range of exclusive treatments and products. <br />
<br />
The 48 bedrooms are elegant and evocative, designed to invoke the luxury “art deco” style. David Rockwell’s exclusive design creates the perfect environment for an oasis of luxury, peace and relaxation. Every element of the suites has been carefully designed down to the last millimetre. They dexterously combine urban sophistication with the elegance of bygone times, with a special mention going to our Royal Suite, the largest suite in Madrid’s centre.<br />
<br />
For decades, Gran Hotel Ingles' rooms have accommodated distinguished guests from all walks of life.<br />

Opened in 1928, <a href="http://hongkong.peninsula.com/" target="_blank">The Peninsula Hong Kong</a>
was built with the idea that it would be the finest hotel east of Suez.
It is the flagship property of The Peninsula Hotels group, and is often
ranked as one of the world's top hotels.<br />
<br />
Overlooking
the Victoria Harbor, The Peninsula Hong Kong is located in the very
heart of Kowloon's shopping and business district. Hong Kong landmarks
such as the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong
Kong History Museum, Hong Kong Science Museum and Hong Kong Space Museum
are just a walkaway.<br />
<br />
Expanded in 1994, the hotel
combines colonial and modern elements. It is known for it's level of
service and a fleet of 14 Rolls-Royce Phantoms painted in Peninsula
Green. The hotel features 300 rooms, including 54 suites, Peninsula Spa,
and Peninsula Fitness Centre with a Roman-Style swimming pool and Sun
Terrace.<br />
