It’s time for travelers to return to Europe’s top cultural destinations and explore the storied cities of Paris and Rome. On this trip, guests go beyond the typical tourist attractions and check out some lesser-known cultural attractions. The Dorchester Collection saw an increase in demand from its loyal travelers for more intimate, bespoke and inclusive tours and experiences and, in response, the hospitality brand created a series of art tours at different properties.

Picasso’s Montmarte at Le Meurice, Paris

Pablo Picasso hosted his wedding reception at Le Meurice, and now the property invites guests to discover the tale of romance, intrigue and daring pursuits that set him on the road to riches of the Belle Epoque. An expert guide takes guests through the cobblestone streets of Montemarte while sharing stories, bringing Picasso’s early years back to life. During the tour, guests stop at Lapin Agile, a watering hole where Picasso spent endless nights, as well as visit Picasso’s first home, which still stands today.

Caravaggio – Rebel and Rome at Hotel Eden, Rome
Caravaggio’s rags-to-riches life was as dramatic and distinctive as his paintings, if not even chaotic. Guests travel back in time with a tour guide to explore the groundbreaking artist’s very own stomping ground. Witness everything from the recently unearthed court documents and lawsuits to the workshops where Caravaggio trained. The tour even brings guests to the spot of the tennis match that caused the artist’s exile from Rome.
