The bar of the Hôtel de Crillon on Place de la Concorde — in a building dating to 1758, restored immaculately, and one of the most beautiful rooms in the world to have a drink. Order classic cocktails done with palace precision: a Martini, a Manhattan, the house Champagne cocktail. This is not the place for experimentation. Come in the early evening, when light streams through the windows onto the Concorde. Dress accordingly; it is palace-hotel luxury and priced to match. It is worth every euro for the room alone — a 250-year-old space of extraordinary grandeur, where the drinks are precise and the setting is genuinely once-in-a-trip.
