Did you say Boutique Hotel in Paris? Oui Oui! Toda

Did you say Boutique Hotel in Paris? Oui Oui! Today we are working on the perfect boutique spot in Paris for a couples trip. This is one of our most popular requests, and it is so much fun to seek out the treasures in Paris🗼

🗝Pro Tip: stay out of the tourist zone for more Parisian and quaint spots. The ones that make you fall for Paris! You don't need to be next door to the Louvre, you need to be next door to the amazing cafe that isn't full of tourists!

Sometimes, when you travel you do things a little out of your comfort zone! We did the Via Ferreta @mtnorquay! What an AMAZING experience with an outstanding guide!

What is a Via Ferrata? A via ferrata, is quite literally a route with fixed “protection” that aids travelers in moving safely through the mountains.

I do think @rogersthe3rd was going to kill me for signing him up for this due to heights but WOW what a thrill!!
We will be back @mtnorquay ⛰️

✨There is nothing like the light + sky in Santa

✨There is nothing like the light + sky in Santa Fe. ✨

While there’s science behind the combination of high-desert air and beyond-mile-high elevation, we’d prefer to focus on the magic of it all. And Bishop’s Lodge is the place to find it.

Nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this iconic Santa Fe landmark is steeped in history. Settled more than 150 years ago by Bishop Jean Baptiste Lamy, the property was reimagined in a sensitive, stunning restoration to preserve its distinctive Southwestern heritage for the next generation. (Because that’s how Auberge Resorts does it…!)

🐎 Greet the day with a sunrise horseback ride to a scenic ridge for a warm cup of Navajo tea; evergreen tree discover beautiful, wooded hiking trails in Santa Fe National Forest, directly accessible from the property; orange heart embark on a pueblo tour to learn about Santa Fe’s fascinating history and culture; 🧘‍♀️ ground mind and body with the soothing vibrations of crystal bowl sound bathing in a private meditation class.

Borrow one of the property’s Mercedes-Benz guest cars for up to 4 hours at a time; plenty of opportunity to explore “The City Different” or head to a nearby destination.

Travel by October 31, 2024, and you’ll be treated to a Complimentary 4th Night when you book 3 in Resort and Grove Rooms.

And as always, when you book with Travel Modern you’ll also receive upgraded treatment + amenities from Travel Modern including resort credit, daily breakfast, priority upgrade, and early check-in / late check-out as available.

Light + magic is yours: katherine@travelmodern.com

Welcome to your Parisian pied-à-terre at Pavillon

Welcome to your Parisian pied-à-terre at Pavillon de la Reine Hotel & Spa.🇫🇷

A haven in the heart of the Marais, the ivy-covered hotel offers a sophisticated hideaway within a private courtyard garden awash with roses — just steps away from the Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris.

Among the delightful, 56 individually-designed accommodations, there are a variety of suites designed to charm and host families — including a triplex suite, “Petit Pavillon”, a private apartment for up to 4 people.

Petit Pavillon is located in the hotel courtyard, with its own entrance; truly private, yet with access to all the luxury and comfort of Pavillon de la Reine. Interior architect Didier Benderli designed the space to enchant, with every detail capturing the
refinement of Parisian art de vivre. Enter to find:

💙First level: a spacious bedroom with a double bed, ceiling with exposed beams typical of the Marais, and a full bathroom with a terracotta floor.

🤍Second level: a cozy, refined living room with storage space.

❤️Third level: a second bedroom bathed in light, with a double bed (or twins, on request), a shower room with a WC.

And your neighborhood, the Marais — ooh la la. Lively and trendy, full of boutiques, galleries, museums, cafés and restaurants — all the energy of Paris awaits. ✨

As a #travelmodernvip Partner, Pavillon de la Reine works with us to thoughtfully plan and elevate your stay, whether solo or avec famille. 🇫🇷 Just say oui: katherine@travelmodern.com 🇫🇷
