Destination Guide

The romance, charm and sheer splendour of Paris needs no introduction. Our selection of apartments, ranging from studio apartments for one to two people to a four bed ‘hotel particulier’ with indoor swimming pool, match the capital’s ambience and are merited on their authenticity, comfort and central locations.

With most being situated on the enchanting Ile St Louis and the Marais in the fourth arrondissement, guests are immediately transported right into the heart of Paris, often with panoramic views over the Seine.

This very special part of Paris, full of character and rich in eighteenth century architecture, has managed to retain a unique “village” atmosphere, with its small boutique-lined streets, art galleries, restaurants and poplar-shaded quays bordering the Seine.

Upon arrival, guests will be given a warm reception and provided with an information pack on how to make the most of their stay, along with the availability of a concierge service to help with restaurant, theatre, exhibition or opera reservations.

In fact, whether it be for the provision of a daily maid service (weekly cleaning and linen change is already included), the arrangement of catered meals and food deliveries to the room (which is equipped with Cable TV, including CNN, Stereo with CD player and private telephone line, complete with answer machine) through to a babysitting service, all needs are tended to so as to ensure maximum comfort and enjoyment.

A limousine service can be organised to welcome guests at the airport or station (rates on request) to set the tone for a scenic and relaxing stay in the City of Lights.
