The City of Light during the season of lights sounds like a festive fairytale: wrapping up in cashmere scarves and coats, wandering through the sparkling streets of Paris, calling into the many restaurants and boutiques for good food and retail therapy.

Turning the magical fantasy into a reality, Paris’ Hotel Lutetia has collaborated with Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche (the historic department store and the hotel’s neighbour), on an exclusive shopping indulgence that’s stamped with the same luxury and grandeur that both properties are renowned for. Guests who book the Festive Shopping Experience will be welcomed into the VIP private salons of Le Bon Marché, where they can make the most of a personal shopper, a gift card and a divine scented candle to take home.

The experience also includes breakfast for two, served at the Brasserie or in-room at the historic hotel, overlooking stunning views of the city. The only luxury hotel on Paris’ Left Bank, Hotel Lutetia’s Art Nouveau and Deco features are instantly recognisable, while its authentic Parisian aura can felt from the moment you arrive. Particularly mesmerising in the winter time – surrounded by festive markets, dazzling windows and glittering ice rinks – the hotel and its fellow Left Bank icon, Le Bon Marché, are all set to welcome guests during the most wonderful time of the year.
