ow this is something different. After the vibrant, decadent elegance of the The Peninsula and Paris Le Grand, designed with an air of French ambience and
artistic air, Le Burgundy is a soothing alternative that I did not expect. That is not to say it isn’t elegant and artistic – it is the desirable marriage of both - but there is something a little muted about the hotel, it is quietly chic, modest in its achievements. Delicately poised in the heart of Paris, the hotel sits silently in the wings of Les Champs-Élysées. Le Burgundy is restful; the continuous artistic buzz of Peninsula is contrasted here with an elegant Guy de Rougemont puzzle, spanning the ground floor's black marble. Paintings, lithographs and black-and-white photographs recount hushed stories from the muted walls. Contemporary furniture and luxurious cloths are complemented by light and space: a Parisian rebellion of subtle modernism. My room is a veritable haven. Modern and renovated, with soft armchairs, beige wall tones, full-lead crystal lamps and textured materials, the room is a kind of physical lullaby. Room-service is definitely on the agenda, I am far too relaxed to contemplate dinner arrangements. A barely hinted at wellness centre and spa can be found within the depths of the hotel, a literal blue lagoon of tranquility and peace, but for me, my room is enough. I replace lengths at the pool with a soak in my deep marble bath.
