| See the City of Light as you've never seen it before: from the 275-square-metre private terrace of the Belle Etoile suite at the Hôtel Meurice (00 33 1 44 58
10 10; www.meuricehotel.com). The vast apartment occupies
the entire seventh floor of the hotel and has 360-degree views taking in the Tuileries, Louvre, Eiffel Tower and Champs-Elysées. There's also
a private lift, two bedrooms, a salon, an office, a kitchen and a fabulous and again expansive grey-veined-marble bathroom with a circular whirlpool bath from which there is a view of
the dome of Les Invalides and Montmartre.
The decor throughout is unstintingly glitzy and gilded, but the management will countenance alterations if something less ostentatious is more your style. Rates are available on request; the rack rate for a double is 720 euros.
