"Paris is the most beautiful capital in the world, and it never fails to inspire me. Every time I walk around the city, I am struck by its endless beauty and charm."
WHERE TO STAY:
The Ritz: it's probably the most iconic hotel in the world, it has the most impeccable service and an alluring atmosphere.
La Réserve: this is one of my Parisian favourite hotels. Love this place for its extremely comfortable suites and the excellent service, but especially I love the fact that with their amazing hospitality they make you feel at a friend's very chic hotel.
JK Place: JK's signature chic cozyness in a super central location make this hotel one of the best choices.
Hôtel de Crillon: after a recent renovation, the rooms are fresh and modern. It also has the most beautiful bar in Paris designed by my friend Decorator Chahan.
Cour des Vosges: located in one of my favorite squares in Paris, this newly opened hotel is extremely charming and comfortable.
