Located a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe, Olivier Bertrand recently opened Hôtel Norman for those looking to explore the city.

Hôtel Norman gives a home-like feel, featuring only 29 rooms and eight suites. Turning intimacy into supreme luxury, each guest is given discrete but highly personalized service. The hotel offers a comfortable stay for all kinds of travelers with connecting rooms, balconies with views of the Eiffel Tower and rooftop suites.

The hotel’s exterior features a stone façade with curved-glass windows and leafy balconies, all topped by a dome. Once inside, guests are welcomed by a comfortable library lounge with a fireplace instead of a traditional reception area. The interior is furnished with vintage sofas, objects from antique shops and stunning artwork. Brazilian designs mix with 1950s furniture, and geometric prints keep company with American paintings of the 1970s.

Rooms and suites are decorated with the same materials as the living areas with custom furnishings from antique dealers. Bathrooms features mosaic-tile walls and a marble sink on a vanity made of rosewood, glass and steel.

The hotel restaurant, led by Chef Thiou, features a fusion-food concept in tune with contemporary appetites with gourmet dishes inspired by French cuisine and her home of Thailand.

Hôtel Norman marks the fifth property in Bertrand’s portfolio.

Rocky Mountain Highs Await in Colorado Springs

My husband and I typically don’t repeat vacations. But then again, Colorado Springs is no ordinary destination. Our first trip here for Cloud Camp — overlooking 14,000-foot Pikes Peak — was all at once romantic and rustic, evoking the essence of the Old West. Cozy log cabins perched high atop Cheyenne Mountain tuck into fragrant pines and rustling aspens, while the banquet table at the stone-and-timber main lodge invites some major tucking into.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto. Here, valleys, the world’s tallest palms, vibrant communities, colorful houses, garden-like balconies and more prove reality is more picturesque than anything on film. And it’s especially more tempting following Medellín’s remarkable transformation, shedding its troubled past and reawakening as a city of innovation, art, cultural richness, modern infrastructure, thriving tourism and resiliency.
