"On that front, few rank quite as highly as the Hotel Plaza Athenée, which dates back to 1913. Its associations with the world of fashion run deep: First, there’s its prime position on Avenue Montaigne, directly across the road from the flagship stores of Prada, Bottega Veneta, and Louis Vuitton. (The hotel’s top suites also boast some of the best views of the Eiffel Tower—as seen from across the Pont de l’Alma—through windows with picture frames around their edges.)" - Liam Hess
