Escape to Paris: Top Short-Trip Ideas and Local Highlights

After you’ve wandered along the Champs-Élysées and settled your purchases in your room or suite at Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, reward yourself with a restorative wellness session at Spa My Blend. The Royal Energy Treatment is a 90-minute ritual combining a full-body pressure point massage with a calming facial to rebalance and rejuvenate both body and mind.

This therapy uses carefully selected botanicals: moringa for its detoxifying properties, kalanchoe to revive and hydrate tired skin, and invigorating extracts such as witch hazel or a ginseng-and-ginger blend to boost circulation and energy. The experience also includes access to the spa’s amenities — the pool, sauna and steam room — which can be enjoyed before or after your treatment for a complete relaxation cycle.

Once refreshed, take time to explore the hotel’s historic and cultural surroundings. The property earned renown during the Roaring Twenties as a gathering place for artists, writers and explorers. Its central location makes it easy to walk to the Arc de Triomphe and the fashionable Faubourg Saint-Honoré district. Inside the hotel you’ll find a private cinema, an Art Bookstore and the Art District contemporary gallery, all supported by an on-site art concierge who can guide your cultural discovery.

Dining at the hotel offers a range of refined choices. For Michelin-level fine dining, Il Carpaccio presents elegant Italian cuisine. Le Bar Long provides a relaxed Parisian atmosphere for lighter meals and cocktails, while Matsuhisa Paris, led by Executive Chef Hideki Endo, serves high-end Japanese dishes inspired by the culinary vision of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Each venue presents its own distinct approach to flavor and hospitality, ensuring satisfying options for every palate.
