Today I was in what must be the cutest hotel room in Paris. Truly. I have some clients who are staying at the Sofitel Dokhan’s Hotel near Trocadéro. They were married today and wanted a sweet, romantic hotel with a view of the Eiffel Tower for their honeymoon. I had visited the hotel for them a few months back, and had seen a standard deluxe room- VERY cute, with a “view” of the tower -if you stuck your head way out the window and sort of looked around the corner. The hotel itself is so charming, though- with a sort of understated luxuriousness that makes you feel like you really deserve the splurge (which you do!). So, the lack of view notwithstanding, I recommended the hotel to my clients. Well, when they checked in this morning, the hotel’s Salon Eiffel Suite was available as an upgrade, so they decided to go for it. Believe me, this is one weddingmoon that they won’t forget! The suite is located at the very top of the hotel, and is entered by climbing a small spiral staircase. The bedroom is at one end, with all of the creature comforts that you’d expect from this level of hotel, including a storybook view over the rooftops of Paris. The sitting room at the other end of the suite has a beautiful fireplace with period furniture- a desk, some chairs, and a sitting area with a big comfy couch. It’s once you settle down onto the couch do you see how the suite got it’s name- a perfectly centered, unobstructed view of La Tour Eiffel. Amazing…
Like I said, the Sofitel Trocadéro Dokhan may be considered a splurge to some- even without the Eiffel Tower view. But with its’ charming rooms, the friendly and accommodating staff, the Louis Vuitton elevator (I know!!) and sweet little champagne bar- it’s definitely worth it.

Hey–I want to know more about this Louis Vuitton elevator (!)
wow….a louis vuitton elevator. i think you may have found one of the loveliest hotel rooms i have ever seen (in pictures, of course). so pretty. i will dream tonight of such luxury as that is about as close as i’m going to come to it. but a girl can dream…..
The elevator at the Sofitel Dokhan is lined with leather from an old Louis Vuitton steamer trunk. Isnt that a hoot? Its also about the size of a steamer trunk, so if you travel heavy, you may have to take the stairs up. But the walk is worth it!
