A masterclass in sumptuous style, this apartment in Paris’ Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood looks fit for royalty and offers a uniquely luxurious stay in the city. From its tall corniced ceilings to its parquet floors and draped French windows giving way to elegant Juliet balconies, there’s an air of sophistication the moment you walk through the door. And then there’s the decor that’s dripping in extravagance and regal splendour – gold sphere chandeliers, antique wingback chairs, ornamental fireplaces, busts and statues galore and marble detailing every which way you look. A veritable kaleidoscope of opulence, your eyes will be pinballing in every direction to soak up the grandeur of this incredible space. The master bedroom feels like an intimate art gallery with its plethora of portraits, books and vintage furniture while the master bath beckons with its marble tub, ideal for a long soak with a glass of bubbly after a day of seeing the sights. Speaking of exploring, this is a particularly excellent base for aesthetes with the Musée d’Orsay a six-minute walk away and the Louvre reachable on foot in ten, while the romantic Pont des Arts is a twelve-minute stroll from your door.
