Paris is always a good idea — but in the shoulder seasons, it becomes unforgettable. The boulevards are calmer, the cafés more inviting, and the Seine shimmers with a softer golden light. For South Africans, this is when the City of Light feels at its most personal: luxury without the summer crowds, and refinement without compromise.
With TLTC, your Parisian escape is defined by two icons: the timeless refinement of Le Bristol Paris or the Left Bank artistry of the Mandarin Oriental Hôtel Lutetia. Both are palatial, both are Paris, yet each tells a very different story.
For decades, Le Bristol has stood as one of Paris’ most celebrated grande dames. Nestled on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, it has played host to royalty, celebrities, and connoisseurs of French art de vivre.
Excellence whispers through every detail: a three-Michelin-starred dining room, the city’s largest private garden, and a rooftop pool with views across Montmartre. The Spa by La Prairie is an oasis of wellbeing, while exclusive cultural partnerships and in-house art exhibitions ensure each stay feels deeply Parisian.
Highlights:
An Art Deco landmark reborn under Mandarin Oriental’s legendary service, Hôtel Lutetia is the Left Bank’s most glamorous address. It embodies literary and artistic heritage — Picasso, Matisse, and Hemingway once walked these halls — reimagined for the modern traveller.
Here, wellness and culture meet seamlessly. The Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre offers yoga, meditation, hammam rituals, and restorative therapies, while dining ranges from chic Parisian brasserie culture to gourmet gastronomy. Its Saint-Germain location makes it the perfect base to immerse yourself in Paris’ intellectual and bohemian soul.
Highlights:
7-night stay (extendable on request). All fares are per person sharing, including flights (ex-CPT or JNB), accommodation, daily breakfast, private transfers, and TLTC concierge support. First Class available on request. Rates are subject to availability, seasonal supplements, and currency fluctuations at the time of booking.
