Nestled in a road just parallel to the famous Avenue des Champs Elysées, this four-bedroom family apartment couldn't be much closer to the action. We were particularly drawn to the large open-plan communal area with its large oak dining table and modern and minimalist living room - both ideal for winding down after meandering through the streets of Paris. Although the kitchen isn't as high spec as the rest of the apartment, the spacious but cosy bedrooms more than make up for it with their high ceilings and sumptuous marble fireplaces.

With flowing drapery and wooden paneling, our local interior designer has created a baroque-inspired space. Sculpted fireplaces, an upstairs study, and even a hammock are among this apartment’s many surprises. A private balcony looks out on the neighborhood’s magnificent architecture, and mirrors reflect the natural light from the windows. A fully equipped kitchen gives you everything you need for in-house dining. Premium amenities include free WiFi, cable TV, hotel beds and linens, luxury toiletries, and a Nespresso machine.

For travelers who want a lively city experience, this spacious urban retreat will be your home base in Paris.

Here in the chic 8th arrondissement of Paris, exclusive shops and restaurants are a few steps away. The neighborhood comes to life at night, with some of the city's most beloved nightclubs. A 5-minute drive or 12-minute walk brings you to the historic Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais, and the Place de la Concorde, a monumental public square. The Franklin Roosevelt and St. Philip du Roule Metro stations are within a 5-minute walk.
