Hôtel Plaza Athénée

It's here where you'll find the hotel balcony that gave Carrie Bradshaw, in the final episode of Sex and the City, a view of the Eiffel Tower and a wee orgasm. The Terrace Eiffel suite starts at €6600 per night - includes a 180° view of the skyline, its own Turkish steam room, and the keys to a Masarati for the length of your stay. Even the most basic rooms (€575+) are filled with gilded mirors and antiques. Other perks: Alain Ducasse runs his signature three-star restaurant from the Athenée, and the hotel bar is a real swank pleaser.
