Mandarin Oriental, now Bermuda based, never seems to do things in a simple way.  The hotel’s 138 rooms are the height of luxury.  Outstanding is the vast indoor garden of oriental inspiration.  Dining facilities include two restaurants, a live cooking counter, a bar and cake shop.  Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx, a gourmet restaurant seating 44, is an intimate, light filled haute-couture cocoon.  Open all day, Camelia serves authentic cuisine with seating for 70 people and a further 25 in the indoor garden. 

Entirely devoted to well-being and relaxation, the spa offers a holistic experience to promote complete mind-body harmony.  At 900 square metres, this is one of the city's largest, offering exclusive Mandarin Oriental signature therapies, including holistic beauty treatments and massages.  Open to guests and non-guests, it has seven private suites, all equipped for hydrotherapy and heat treatments, a large indoor pool and a fitness centre. www.mandarinoriental.com/paris
