For our anniversary, my other half and I thought of no better destination for a romantic getaway than Paris, and we were certainly not disappointed! Sojourning at Pullman Paris Centre - Bercy****, we enjoyed an unforgettable stay!
The style started from the moment we arrived, with the hotel’s expansive glass façade encapsulating the chic modernity of the establishment. The understatedly elegant rooms are enrobed in soft colour palettes, making for a relaxing ambience, far from the vibrant bustle of the Parisian streets. The expansive windows mean the contemporary furnishings are swathed in natural light, whilst the soft grey walls adorn chic frames, evoking true Parisian style.
Our day would commence, not with the usual earth-shattering alarm, but waking up in a sumptuously comfortable bed with the exciting prospect of a day is the City of Love. Next stop was breakfast, and one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever tasted; a copious range of fresh produce, it is the perfect fuel for a day exploring the French capital. We proceeded to wander over to the Fairground Museum right next door to the hotel, an interesting museum full of fairground attractions, it is both eerie yet magical at the same time; we then stopped at the La Cinémathèque française, just stone’s away, where the museum and cinema was heaven on earth for my film buff boyfriend!
After all this excitement, stomachs were both rumbling so it was back to the hotel for dinner, in emblematic Parisian style. The Open Kitchen by Pullman invites guests to watch the skilled chefs cook up a storm in the open kitchen, while the Esprit du 12ème is an atmospheric bistro inspired by the neighbourhood’s wine-making past.
Sat on one of the many outdoor patios, sipping Champagne encircled by verdant vegetation, we toasted our incredible holiday in style; and had Pullman Paris Centre - Bercy**** to thank!
