The Dull Luster Of The Luxury  

What a pleasure discovering in my room (a Junior Suite), space and light! This particular brightness is found only in altitude. The photographer in me feels lucky and happy!

Large windows open onto a dream setting, as if the omnipresent mountain was the VIP guest of the hotel room! On the small balcony, my gaze is lost on the ski slopes not busy, but we are at the beginning of the season.

I really enjoy using the spacious bathroom: extremely simple, very clear and functional (above photo montage). A mountain picture covering two walls of the shower. In the large mirror above the wide block to wash hands and face, I can see the reflection of the (“real”) mountain.

I feel cuddled and had a hard time leaving my bed: no noise, elegant flannel curtains and impeccable bedding.

The lounge is very nice with this incredibly comfortable sofa topped by an XXL mirror … which reflects the mountain outside! This sofa is my meditation corner when I relax between my different activities.

The room is spacious and very well arranged with two wardrobe to store clothes and luggages. The colors are both neutral and warm with some walls and partitions covered with wood.

The furniture is simple and charming, two wooden tables and a chair with raw finitions, and a modern leather ottoman. The whole creates a smart warm environment: a relaxing universe especially after skiing or some other sports.

A Must Do!

The Igloo

Who has not dreamed of spending a night in a (luxury) igloo … please (lol)? The Pashmina owners are mountain fans. And they wanted to share with us the bivouac’s thrill with more comfort.

Sleeping – or almost – watching the stars, the dream!

Le Pashmina: une suite avec vue

Superbe vue sur la montagne

L’éclat mat du luxe 

Quel plaisir en découvrant ma chambre (une Junior suite), de l’espace et de la lumière! Cette luminosité si caractéristique que l’on ne retrouve qu’en altitude! La photographe en moi, jubile.

De larges fenêtres s’ouvrent sur un décor de rêve, comme si la montagne, omniprésente, s’invitait dans la chambre! Sur le petit balcon, le regard se perd sur les pistes de ski pas très fréquentées, nous sommes au tout début de la saison.  

Mon coup de coeur va à la vaste salle de bain : simplissime, très claire et très fonctionnelle, un plaisir à utiliser (photo montage ci-dessus). Une photo de montagne recouvrant deux des murs de la douche. Un grand mirroir au dessus du large bloc-lavabo, où la (“vraie”) montagne se reflète.

On se sent dorlottée. J’ai aussi eu du mal à quitter mon lit : pas un bruit, d’élégants rideaux bien opaques en flanelle et une impeccable literie.

La partie salon est extrêmement agréable grâce à un large et profond canapé, surmonté d’un miroir XXL… où se reflète la montagne! Mon coin pause méditation lors de mes allers-venues entre chaques activités. 

La chambre est spacieuse et très bien agencée avec deux blocs dressing permettant de ranger toutes ses affaires, valises incluses. Les couleurs sont à la fois neutres et chaudes avec quelques murs et cloisons recouverts de bois.

Le mobilier est simple et charmant, deux tables et une chaise en bois aux finissions brutes et un pouf en cuir. L’ensemble crée un environement conviviale et chic : un univers relaxant surtout après le ski, ou les autres sports.

A expérimenter!

L’igloo

Qui n’a jamais rêvé de passer une nuit dans un igloo… de luxe s’il vous plait (lol)? Les propriétaires du Pashmina, fans de montagne, avaient envie de nous faire partager les sensations des bivouacs, en ajoutant une dimension de confort.

Dormir – ou presque – à la belle étoile, le rêve!

Un grand merci à toute l’équipe du Pashmina Le Refuge pour ce superbe séjour. J’ai été invitée par le Pashmina Le Refuge et comme toujours ce sont mes opinions.

Hotel EKTA in Paris Baby!

Yes, Paris is always a good idea!

A few days in Paris with my mother, I took the opportunity to plan rendezvous without having to run in any direction. We needed a hotel with a central location …

As the excellent Ekta Hotel: 60-70’s stylish sharp design by Jean-Philippe Nuel and Natasha Stojkovic. A very relaxed friendly atmosphere with a TOP team! Fantastic hospitality: we immediately felt like at home!

This little gem-hotel with 20 rooms and 5 suites (opened last spring), is ideally located in a quiet street just a minute walk from the Champs Elysees, between Etoile and George V. What could we ask for more?

Couture Spirit

We access to the lobby by the staircase inspired Chanel – rue Cambon. So chic! And I easily imagine crossing Karl, lol! On the walls, “very Courrège” fashion photos by Benjamin Deroche (photos below).

The living room

My favorite common space. Comfortably sit down in one of Pumpkins yellow sofas designed by Pierre Paulin, facing the built-in fireplace in the black and white graphic library, I take a look at a beautiful fashion book with Karl, Carine Roitfeld and so on …

I also really like the Japanese style lighting by Marset, games of mirrors and flat screens scattered in the hotel (photos above).

Other details I liked (pictures below): 1. photo on mirror in the small elevator that leads to the bedrooms and suites (read my post of our suite). 2. Hearty delicious breakfast in the lounge area and comfortable mirrors tables (3). 4. Sorry not sorry … The little black jacket, Chanel.
