Four Seasons Henry V

When i start speaking about the next hotel saying the name is enough! Four Seasons Henry V.
It's said that people choose this hotel if they want to... show off. I think that's true, 'cause near the entrance you can see so many expensive cars...
The first room was "the usual one". It was 14 of Feb. So they had some special amenities for guests.

The hotel was full. That's why after this room we went upstairs to te most expensive room in the hotel. The price for one night is... 20 000 euro. Impressive, innit? It's hard to name the celebrity who didn't stay in this room ("Maybe, Lady Gaga only " lol)
I couldn't take thi picture of the view from windows (bad weather conditions), but trust me, it's worth it! 
The suite...
TV screen in the bathroom


The living room...
 

 +there is a terrace..
bye-bye to this amazing suite!

We had to split into groups. Our guide was a charming Spanish woman with a great sense of humour ("And this is my room..")
We.
 
On funny story had happened when we were about to leave. Our guide proposed us to make a pic with Jeff (it's their florist who is famous around Paris + this hotel's sign is "flowers everywhere" )
But we didn't know where is Jeff. A man who was passing by gave us an advice to "see him around the corner". What a surprise was when we found out that this man who was passing by was ..  a general amnager of this hotel! 
C'est incroyable!








Shangri-La Paris

In each post i will tell about a hotel which i visited during my stay in Paris.
Frankly speaking, the first place we'd visited wasn't a hotel. But i will write about it later. Now i'm going to write about Shangri-La hotel which is absolutely outstanding.
5* hotel not far from the Eiffel Tower. 
Our guide there was a nice Russian woman who moved to Paris. That's why it was soo easy for everyone to understand all infromation.
The first room which we'd seen was the most expensive suite there and ...it's worth it! The view is outstanding! Big living room, comfortable bed, light controler, Tv screen in the mirror and , what i loved the most, large terrace. It was raining. That's why we couldn't get outside and the Eiffel Tower is so hard to see on the pics. But what a dream : walking up in Paris in a comfotable bed with TV screen in front of you and with  ... th Eiffel Tower on the left. C'est magnifique!
That room...

Later we went downstairs. There was a duplex (2-floors room) which was nice. Again amazing view! + we saw the amenities (tea+fruit plate+flower, not bad)


 The list of services is provided in this hotel. The big hall was so beautiful! Everywhere you can see the sign of Bonaparte III. This place has a big history.
As for me, I fell in love with the swimming pool! It's really rare to see the swimming pool in the centre of Paris. It was so quite there!

 Amazing 5*hotel which provides the great service and the location is really outstanding! 


Me in the first suite.
P.s. almost forgo to say that we'd received a small gifts from this hotel. All girls fell in love with a leather purse!

Paris. the 1 day


The 1 day in Paris. i'm with a group of girls and "how are we going to spend it?"
of cousre, shopping...
frankly speaking i wasn't really a big fan of this idea. wasting the big sum of money in La galerie Lafayette on your first day in Paris ...
not a great idea...
but we were in the middle of Paris, near Opera, near all those places which i know so good.
first of all i had to help my roommates who were trying to find some stuff by dior and other brands.
damn! after i saw prices i decided that it's better idea to leave girls and head toward last floor with books and toys! yeah! the best place ever!


After shopping i decided to wander the streets which were so familiar to me...
Here i used to eat Chinese food, here i used to have "le petit dejeuner"... 
What an amazing feeling! 
That's the most favourite view in whole Paris.
 That's the bar where you can try the BEST cocktail ever... Pink Floyd .
one glass of this drink and... next morning try to remeber what you've done after 
I wanted to have a drink there, but didn't have enough time...


Metro. Some people say that it's easy to get lost here... well, the most difficult station for me is "opera". so many lignes there...

 After wandering "le centre-ville" and several stops in fast food restaurants (yeah for McDo!)), i met a good friend. we went to very unusual museum.
You can play video games there! now i wanna try to play in Meat Boy. 

 After a long walk a little stop in overcrowded Starbucks. it was sooo overcrowded but i like this place!
especially that starbucks near opera.


hahaha! now i know if you see a person with a camera, it doesn't mean that you will have a good picture... at least not a good picture of you lol 
 But it was a great day...
to be cont.

one day - 3 countries

what an amazing day was it! i woke up in Moscow, had lunch in Amsterdam and had dinner in Paris.
my flight was in 6 am and that's why i didn't sleep enough...
after cappucino we took off from Sheremetievo. during the flight i slept in so many different positions that i never ever expected to be possible to do in the seat lol that's why i had a terrible pain in neck whole day.
we landed in Amsterdam. the first thing i've noticed was... damn! guys are really handsome here. lol
the weather wasn't really promissing... the sky was grey, it was cold. but later the sun came out.however it was still cold.
we were walking, walking and walking... i didn't know whether we passed some sights or not... only the main square.
we've been to different shops: with chocolate, with cheese, with seeds (and with seeds of canabis too lol), with strange assesories.
franhly speaking the city is really nice. i wish i had more time to spend there. nice place with a new unknown language. i wanted to learn some phrases during our stay, but i didn't have time.
one more thing that i've noticed is if you're trying to cross the street, bus, car or tramway are more likely to stop and "le velo" is less likely.
we've spent around 4 hours in Amsterdam, but it was enough for me to "try something new". i'm talking about Guinness , of course...it was tasty.
 Streets of Amsterdam



 Our plane toParis... i din't expect the flight to be so fast... and we're ...in Paris

 salade Parisien in Le Dante not far from Notre Dame .
