If you really must travel this winter, make sure you choose the right hotel to return to every night. Intimate, exclusive and – more importantly – extremely cosy, the following hotels are the best places to kick off your boots and relax in after a day facing sleet, wind and rain.
From Paris to London, from Venice to Frankfurt, here is a list of beautiful luxury hotels you can add to your list this winter.
RELAIS CHRISTINE, PARIS
The vast mansion which now houses the Relais Christine was built on the remains of the Abbey of the Grands-Augustins, founded in 1231.
This delightful and discreetly luxurious boutique hotel has managed to preserve the intimacy of the private residence it once was.
Its comfortable and welcoming 48 rooms and suites, the quiet atmosphere of its lounge, the charm of the spa, its private flowered garden and its personalised service make it a restful and friendly place to stay, worthy of the best Parisian addresses.
The Relais Christine enjoys one of the best locations in Paris, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, left bank, a few steps from the Latin Quarter. Conveniently located just off the Seine, in the very quiet Rue Christine, the hotel is within a 2 minutes walk from numerous restaurants, bistros and cafés, from the famous art galleries of rues Mazarine and Dauphine as well as from the prestigious boutiques of Boulevard Saint-Germain. Notre-Dame, the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée du Louvre, the Conciergerie or La Monnaie de Paris are all at a few minutes walk.
