My Trip to Paris 2012: Park Hyatt Paris Vendome

If staying at a palace in Paris ever appears on your bucket list, the lovely Park Hyatt Paris Vendome will deliver.

My Trip to Paris 2012: Park Hyatt Paris Vendome

We knew it was exclusive. And posh. And fabulous. Yet I could not fully appreciate the Park Hyatt’s ‘luxury is personal’ concept without experiencing it.

Designed by Ed Tuttle, Park Hyatt Paris Vendome is located in the heart of Paris, near the Opera and Place Vendome.

Rude de la Paix

Located on Rue de la Paix (Street of Peace), think truly peaceful comforting retreat awaits
with spa amenities, gourmet dining, and even complimentary bicycles.

Oh, yes. And the rooms are to die for. All of the furniture is handmade, and the duvets are luxurious silk.

Exquisite Design Details at Park Hyatt Paris Vendome

Polished mahogany walls. Gilded trims. French windows (which we opened frequently to the glorious courtyard).

Bronze sculptures by Roseline Granet adorn sconces and door hardware.

The room was appointed beautifully with electric shades, a comfortable bed, beverage station, and large desk area.

I think it is true God is in the details.

Luxurious Paris Hotel Bathroom

The bathroom spoiled me forever. Heated limestone everywhere, two large sink areas, and a seriously spacious and powerful rain shower and soaking tub.

The Park Hyatt Vendome commissioned bespoke parfumeur Blaise Mautin to develop the signature fragrance of the hotel and toiletries, and I cannot say enough
about their transcendent beauty.

The scent is understated and mysterious. I may even term it the scent of well-being.

Vanilla, tabac, woods and magic combine with other top secret sexy ingredients.

There are lovely hotels in Paris which cost less. When planning our visit, we decided
to splurge on a shorter stay at the Park Hyatt rather than opt for more time at a lesser hotel.

We also knew this particular visit would not center on gastronomy or expensive dining so we put those dollars toward luxe accommodations and lived for a little while like royalty,
making memories for a lifetime.

Each morning, I claimed this area of the bath, and must I even explain the splendor of applying makeup here in natural Paris light with open windows welcoming fresh air and birdsong?

I let my beloved sleep in and took my own sweet time.

Paris Secrets

Re: Secrets

It’s Paris! Of course there are a few:

Le spa is one…very romantic spa, and I loved every bit of the complimentary luxuriating.

Blaise Mautin is another…these signature products are available only for a few hotels. If you care to take it home, you can purchase a room spray or candle from the front desk only.

Les Orchidees (which I will blog more about soon) is an incredible spot for an elegant breakfast
or lunch, allowing you to experience a measure of PH magic even if you are not a hotel guest.

If you google the hotel, you will see it is a favorite of many celebrities and lil’ ol’ not-ready-for-Hollywood-but-still-fabulous writers like your friend here.

    Looks gorgeous! Looking out the window reminds me of the Waldorf Astoria Chicago. Would much rather be in Paris though!

  2. November 1, 2012 / 9:02 am

    Beautiful photos, love every single one! 🙂

  3. November 1, 2012 / 11:58 am

    so many luxurious and thoughtful features to admire in the room, but the windows def set this one apart since they add so much to the paris experience.

    🙂

  7. November 1, 2012 / 1:57 pm

    Michele, I may have never left the hotel…and perhaps would have spent my entire trip in the bathroom. Nothing beats a "zhushy" hotel. Dying to smell the Blaise Mautin shampoo!! So glad you got to live in the lap of luxury! XO

  8. November 1, 2012 / 2:31 pm

    Fabulous Michelle… I would have stayed in all day… 🙂 xv

  9. November 1, 2012 / 2:34 pm

    I think the luxury hotels are worth every cent you spend, and then you have memories for a lifetime. Lovely post !

  10. November 1, 2012 / 3:37 pm

    Divine and tres chic, Michele! I'm traveling with you next time. We usually just stay at the Novotels, haha 🙂

  11. November 1, 2012 / 3:45 pm

    Hello!

    I have been following along on your adventure! I love this hotel! We have been staying at the same hotel in the 7th for 21 years, and we love it because of the location, the size and the owners. Each year when we go around Christmas, they put little Christmas trees in our room and are just so nice and helpful.

    There are so many wonderful sights to see I never ever tire of going. I laughed about your "croissant top" I am not of fan of those but I manage to eat at least one or two eclairs a day! While there!

    I cannot wait to see more of your adventures, thank you for stopping by.

    Look at you Michele! You look like you belong there 🙂 Gorgeous place to stay and a signature fragrance?! Wow! I'm sure everything was beyond perfect and I'd agree, getting used to putting your make up on here every morning.. yes, I could get used to that. What a view and such a wonderful spa on site.

    Michele what a luxurious place to stay, I can almost smell the fragrance, feel the silk, experience the shower through your words. I am so glad your stay was so special. Paris has a heartbeat and rhythm and soul of its own, doesn't it?!!

  21. November 2, 2012 / 1:26 am

    Ok, i am dying of curiosity about that scent. You must put some on a cotton ball and send it to me!!! Is it a fragrance you can buy as a perfume?
    And Holy Moly… LOOK AT THAT PLACE! I can't even imagine being in a place so luxurious! (We don't get out much) It really is just beautiful. I love the window boxes too. Wow…

    🙂

  45. November 4, 2012 / 5:30 pm

    *Groan* Oh so jealous! I think if I stayed in this hotel, I probably wouldn't leave the room (or the bathroom for that matter)! I particularly loved how the bed was made!

  46. November 4, 2012 / 9:13 pm

    Ah, feel like I just
    had a mini-vacation….
    lovely!!! I think when
    we went {10th anniversary,
    and we've been married
    now for 26} we stayed
    at the Hilton, which had
    a view of the Eiffel Tower,
    but not the luxury of your
    sweet spot…..

    Happy Sunday,
    xo Suzanne

  47. November 5, 2012 / 12:21 am

    Are you freaking kidding me??? LOL My godness, M!!!! This is pure heaven… heaven in Paris!

    Not sure if I'll ever get to Paris, so thank you so much for taking me there a second. Absolutely drool worthy.

  52. November 6, 2012 / 7:48 am

    Hey sweet you
    Thanks for your kind comments
    Lucky you who have been to Paris. Sounded amazing. And what a beautiful hotel!
    Wish you a great new week
    Hugs Tonje

  53. November 7, 2012 / 4:20 pm

    a lot of you have picked up on what i experienced at the hotel. surrounded by so much art within the hotel and beautiful amenities elevated the stay in paris so much more because of the access. not perspiring on tiptoes behind 300 tourists with cell phones pointed at the mona lisa at the louvre to snap a glimpse of the classic, but smelling, tasting, and seeing masterful thoughtfulness up close. just priceless to me.

    🙂

  54. April 3, 2013 / 6:01 pm

    My husband and I stayed here a couple of years ago, thanks to a deal through Visa and Hyatt — we each applied and received a new credit card and each got two free nights at any Hyatt hotel anywhere in the world. Well, we happened to be headed to Paris, so the Vendome it was. Four nights of total luxury — free. It was amazing.
