The new Hotel-spa La Réserve has just opened its doors. Situated on Avenue Gabriel, a side road running parallel to the Champs Elysées, this luxury establishment has adopted a classic style, reminiscent of a private mansion. La Réserve, which also has addresses in Geneva and Ramatuelle, was already present in Paris with an array of discreet and refined apartments. This elegant 5-star hotel with 26 suites and 14 rooms luxuriously decorated with antiques and rich materials (walls clad in silk, damask drapes, embossed fabrics, taffeta, velvet…) will appeal to a clientele of esthetic taste, in search of a noble "art de vivre". La Réserve Hôtel-spa. 42, avenue Gabriel. Paris 8e. (01 58 36 60 00)
