The American hotel chain Kimpton has made its appearance for the first time in France, within the walls of the old Samaritaine in Paris. Amidst the splendour of this Art Nouveau building, life is in full swing on all the floors, with Paris laid at one’s feet from the top. Sequoia is an idyllic rooftop bar, tastefully decorated by architect Charles Zana, offering a spellbinding view of the capital. Ideal for sipping a glass of champagne as the sun goes down. Sequoia au Kimpton St Honoré Paris, 27-29 boulevard des Capucines, Paris 2 (01 80 40 76 40).
