Hopscotch Chic

Holiday Rental Description

Located just moments away from Paris’ evocative Champs-Élysées, this apartment is certainly in keeping with the style of its privileged 8th arrondissement locale.

Facing the building’s peaceful inner courtyard, light streams in through the large French windows that give way to romantic Parisian rooftop views. Make yourself at home on the plump emerald-hued sofa – a glass of French wine in hand – and admire the scenery while listening to an Edith Piaf track on the living room’s Bluetooth speaker. We love the striking black and white marble floors against the gold and jewel-toned accents here, as well as the elegant window-side dining table that beckons intimate soirées when you’re not outs sampling the local fine dining scene.

The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as chic with its row of French windows and beautifully dressed bed boasting satin linens, and the pair of marble-clad bathrooms – complete with rainfall showers – are certain to get any day off on a pampered, luxurious foot.

What’s more, you have access to the communal downstairs lounge where ample seating, a library of books, a pool table and an indoor fire pit await.

While you could easily spend all day in your plush pad, venture out to explore the countless sights around you. Treat yourself to some retail therapy along the Champs-Élysées (a two-minute walk), gaze up at the beautiful Arc de Triomphe (a five-minute walk) and visit Paris’ iconic Eiffel Tower (a thirty-minute walk).

Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to access the apartment on the fourth floor
*At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room – this will be at the expense of lounge space, however, so we think this home is better suited to two adults
*The apartment faces the building's courtyard
*There's a laptop-friendly workspace
*The building's lounge and entrance are communal
*A weekly maid service is included for stays longer than seven nights
*Luggage storage is available on-site
*The building has a front desk that is open from 8 am to 11 pm and also has a night security service
*We recommend skipping the car and making use of Paris' excellent public transport instead – George V station is a four-minute walk away
