Golden Sparrow

Golden Sparrow: Île-de-France

Tucked down a tree-lined boulevard behind the iconic Champs Elysées (a three-minute walk away), this apartment radiates luxury and cool. The black and gold motif wouldn’t look out of place in any of the fashion boutiques a few steps away, and every curated mid-century lamp and quartz counter-top gleams with joie de vivre. The apartment sits in a serviced building where you can request restaurant and taxi bookings at the front desk. Several communal lounges and lobbies offer somewhere to relax in winged armchairs, or with a game of pool perhaps. Or, retreat to your own stylish living room for the evening and put some Edith Piaf on the Bluetooth speaker. Sleep comes easy between silk, while wake-ups are a treat when it means relaxing under the rainfall shower and enjoying your morning coffee by the Juliet balconies. When it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the Arc de Triomphe (a five-minute walk), the banks of the Seine (a fifteen-minute walk) and Paris’ most iconic sight of all – the Eiffel Tower – thirty minutes away on foot.
