Travelers at Saint James Paris can find a new unique perspective of its gardens, a hallmark of the property, when staying in one of two new private Pavilion Rooms in the chateau’s former gatehouses. Each boasts a terrace and private spa. Interior designer Laura Gonzalez, who designed the hotel and its adjacent villa, led the Pavilion Rooms’ full renovation.

A dedicated garden path leads to the Pavilion’s terrace. Each is 860 square feet across three floors, with a living room, primary bedroom and en-suite shower, a private spa with large jet bathtub, a dry sauna, a pull-out sofa, and exercise bike.

The Pavilions, named Elise and Félicie, honor Elise and Félicie Dosne, the wife and sister-in-law of former French president Adophe Thiers, in whose memory they erected the building that is now Saint James Paris. It was originally a foundation for the best students in France from 1892 to 1985.

Review: Kimpton Hotel Palomar

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Philadelphia was filling up with travelers, so I booked Kimpton Hotel Palomar due to its location in the heart of Center City — just off Samson Street, full of great restaurants, and a few blocks from The Union League (where I was attending an event) and City Hall. I parked around the corner; there are many options, and the hotel is also close to public transportation. I admired the lobby renovations that took place not too long ago, making this a hidden gem with a real Philadelphia feel. The doorman greeted me and held my bags, as I arrived in the morning for meetings before check- in. When I returned in the afternoon, check-in was swift with a friendly front desk team offering water and help with questions.
