Don’t Miss the Spectacular Christmas Decorations at Paris Hotels

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and Paris’s hotels are all dressed up for the holiday season. Here’s our pick of where to go to see some of the most beautiful Christmas decorations in the city. Le Bristol Inspired by the magic of Christmas, Le Bristol has created an enchanted forest in the garden. After passing through the dazzling entrance of the hotel, guests will be greeted by seasonal scents of pine tree and Christmas spices in the corridors, which lead the way to the sparkling pine forest. Those staying at the hotel can also ask for a traditionally decorated pine tree to be placed in the room to complete the festive experience. 112 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 8th.

Guests can cozy up under faux fur throws and sheepskin surrounded by warming lanterns and twinkling fairy lights, or book a table inside the authentic chalet, decked out with Swiss-style décor, vintage ski posters, Christmas tree and decorations.
