The Parisian Apartment MANDARIN ORIENTAL PARIS

Guests seeking privacy often check into the Mandarin Oriental’s L’Appartement Parisien, or The Parisian Apartment, a huge, 4,628-sq-ft suite that is one of the largest of the Parisian palaces. The apartment comes with multiple entrances so high-pro fi le celebrity guests can enter incognito and, once inside, be attended to by a priority concierge team for a truly discreet stay. The incredible suite features four bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, two massive living rooms, and a well-equipped kitchen and a dining room for up to 12 guests — just in case you’d like one of the hotel’s skilled chefs to prepare a private dinner party. The apartment can also be split in two for smaller groups, and still comes with access to the large leafy terrace, where a huge selection of plant species have been gathered from various Parisian parks. To add another layer of privacy, both rooms and terraces look over the courtyard to avoid prying eyes from neighboring apartments. Guests can enjoy a private tête-à-tête in the intimate Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx (watch this space to learn which chef will replace Theirry Marx after he stepped down from the restaurant last year). The eateryo ff ers a sharp contrast to the usual French fi ne dining experience with its contemporary all-white decor; you can also dine alfresco in the summer at eco-conscious Camélia. From €32,000 (approx. $34,900) per night. Contact mopar-reservations@mohg.com, +33 170 987 888, mandarinoriental.com
