At Le Meurice, every detail is so expertly considered that only the most seasoned traveler would truly notice. The hotel feels less like a glitzy stay than a carefully curated experience. It’s the subtle touches—like the scent of fresh flowers greeting you at the door—that elevate it from pleasant to extraordinary. The interiors feel both timeless and contemporary, with gilded touches and soft lighting that seamlessly transport guests to a bygone era of luxury. And then there’s the location: directly across from the Jardin des Tuileries, Le Meurice is only steps away from Paris’s most beautiful landmarks. It’s a place that understands how to make you feel at home, even in a city known for its grandeur. —Jennifer Noyes
