So it’s no surprise that, for the past decade, the epitome of a designer’s design aesthetic can be seen not on a runway, but in the private suite of a luxury hotel.

No matter the location, however, these are all hotels that are sure to create a truly one of a kind experience – where the hotel itself is just as much a draw as the destination.

Well, that may be, but could there be a bigger status symbol than your own hotel? That’s right, 6 Mandel is a townhouse in Paris’ 16th Arrondissement where you are the one and only guest. A private suite decorated by Philippe David, cooking classes (in the French or Japanese styles), maid service, a stacked art gallery, and a beautiful garden with views of the Eiffel Tower are all at your disposal. According to its web site, 6 Mandel is for those who are “passionate about nature, sensitive to quality, modernity, luxury…” We think it’s perfect for those in need of a private get away or some peace and quiet. This is the kind of luxurious travel experience where you can really get away from it all – although, being in the chicest part of Paris, you may not want to.
