When you can walk five minutes to the Arc de Triomphe and two minutes to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, you know that your Parisian apartment is in a sought-after location. In this elegant setting, go on a designer shopping spree while admiring the gorgeous Haussmanian buildings lining the streets. For venturing all over Paris, George V metro is a breezy three-minute walk away – but this elegant apartment might make you want to stay put.

When you return home with all your shopping bags in tow, you’ll be greeted by a friendly concierge and a grand entrance. Off the communal hallway, peer into luxe guest facilities like a reading lounge (complete with indoor fire pit), reading room, and a snooker table under a fabulous skylight. And in your own apartment, sophisticated interiors continue.

First off, we love the diverse use of marble – from the chic dining table, to the countertops and beautiful cerulean bathrooms. From your incredibly plush, high-ceilinged lounge, you can overlook leafy streets while sipping pinot noir at your wrought-iron balconette. Finally, gold highlights and touches of velvet add to this opulent environment. Well, you wouldn’t expect anything less as a guest in the luxurious 8th arrondissement.
