People watching in Hotel Costes is a pretty fun pastime.
I think it is still one of the best places to relax and gaze on the scene.
Hotel Costes is usually over crowded with beautiful people.
It will be again, next month, when the fashion crowd decend on Paris for the shows.
Last night, like the rest of Paris, it was quiet.
Perfect to enjoy the visuals, the sumptuos interiors.
As many times as I have seen them, they still have an impact.
Luscious, rich reds… tassels and trims… chandeliers and candlelight.
A tutorial in detail, a lesson that enough is never enough.
An interior to dream of, not to live by.
I love that the decor is extreme, a destination.
Hotel Costes is a place where you know what to expect and yet I am always surprised.
The luxury of their roses never ceases to enchant me.
The heady, familiar scent of their candles is most welcoming.
The sound of their play list, so familiar.
Hotel Costes… fabulous French ambience… whether crowded or not… xv
