TOO Hotel, situated atop of one of the tallest towers in Paris, France, brings sky-high views and elegant rooms to the city this month. Designed by Philippe Starck, the new hotel sits on top of one of the Tours Duo in the 13th arrondissement.

“It’s the tale of a castle floating above Paris, not quite Earth-bound, a place where anything is possible,” said Starck. “That floating sensation gives you a real buzz; when you’re inside the place, everything is amplified: you’re more beautiful, more in love, more creative. This castle is full of surprises, but the most stunning is its location – it hangs in the clouds. It flies over the big cities. They say it’s currently on a stopover in Paris. But when the light fades in the evening, you get a glimpse of Tokyo, Los Angeles, and many other cities across the world.”

With panoramic windows and floor-to-ceiling mirrors found throughout the property, guests enjoy nonstop views of the city. Spanning floors 17–24, the hotel features 139 rooms and suites, providing guests with the ultimate city stay at an accessible price. The influence of the sky infiltrates each room, with soft, cloud-like cream and sunset orange adorning the spaces. Bathrooms boast wide sinks and tentacular lamps, as well as baths and rainfall showers. Elegant furniture completes each room and suite.

In addition to rooms and suites blurring the lines between sky and earth, TOO Hotel also features TOO Restaurant. Situated within a gold-ceilinged glass cube balanced above the hotel, diners enjoy even more breathtaking views of Paris. Executive Chef Benjamin Six defies tradition in each dish, offering a variety of flavors from around the world, from fragrant chicken tajine to lobster tempura to signature smoky shakshuka.

 

The hotel will also soon hold the title of housing one of the city’s highest rooftop bars, a staggering 440 feet high. Guests can sip on cocktails and wine in the clouds. Live music and DJ sets accompany the bar and drinks, and designs inspired by Alice in Wonderland grace the space for an ethereal atmosphere.

TOO Chill, the hotel’s spa, embodies nature and its healing properties with three treatment rooms, a fully glass-walled gym, custom-made cedar wood sauna and a 10-seater outdoor Jacuzzi perched on the tree-lined, 17th-floor terrace overlooking the Seine. The spa will open exclusively to hotel guests.

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling

In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips.

Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
