Mandarin Oriental, Paris

Heading to the City of Love this autumn? Find luxury and glamour in the home of haute couture. Plus, two more hip destinations.If mingling amongst Paris's most fashionable and sophisticated residents strikes you as the ideal getaway, the Mandarin Oriental, Paris is the perfect choice. The newly opened hotel is located in the desirable first arrondissement and boasts exclusive boutiques and high-end fashion houses as its neighbours.Flinging open its doors in a celeb-filled grand opening ceremony last month, this 138-room, Sybille de Margerie- designed paean to easy luxury, has fast become the ultimate see-and-be-seen venue for the city's fash pack. And if you can tear yourself away from supping on champagne in the gorgeous Camélia restaurant, the Louvre is just a short romantic stroll away.After a long day of sightseeing, don your favourite Breton tee and head down to the painfully stylish Bar 8 to enjoy an aperitif - and we recommend the Je t'aime Paris, a refreshing mix of raspberries, St Germain and champagne - with the chic city crowd. And in a country famed for its cuisine, the lavish restaurant, Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx, will not disappoint; there you can rub shoulders with the likes of Liam Neeson, who was recently spotted there, and enjoy the gastro experiments created by the Michelin-starred chef.But if the excesses of Parisian life becomes too much, check yourself into the minimalist spa and choose from a menu of luxurious treatments and holistic therapies guaranteed to have you rejuvenated for a well-earned return trip to Hermes.No stay at the Mandarin Oriental, Paris would be complete without a visit to the in-house Cake Shop. Make like Marie Antoinette and pick the gorgeously decadent L'Armorique for total chocolate indulgence.
