Feel-good breaks in Paris

If you really want to splash out and spoil your partner, the Le Cinq Codet is the place. The Codet suite has a jacuzzi on the private terrace with views over the golden dome of the Invalides. If you can drag yourself out of your room, head down to the spa for a couple’s massage or try out the Hammam and steam room. The spa has a wide range of different treatments including anti-ageing facials for men and women, so you’ll be going home looking like a new person.

With plenty of room options for small groups, the Saint James Albany is perfect for a girls’ spa break or a mother-daughter getaway. Access to the hammam, pool and fitness area is free for hotel guests, so even if you don’t want to get treatments, you can enjoy some bonding while relaxing. When you feel suitably refreshed, head across the road to the Louvre for a bit of culture, or browse the shops on the rue de Rivoli before popping into iconic Angelina for afternoon tea.

Right in the heart of the trendy Marais district, the Les Jardins du Marais is great for friends who want to enjoy a weekend away or celebrate a special occasion. Get glammed up after an intensive pampering session in the spa, pop into the bar for pre-dinner drinks, then head out for a night on the town. Cinema buffs can even hire out the private screening room to watch their favourite film or home movie.

The 4-star Le Mathurin hotel and spa is the perfect place to be pampered from head to toe after a day of shopping and sightseeing. Sink into the jacuzzi for a relaxing soak then treat yourself to a NUXE head massage followed by a foot relaxation treatment. When you are suitably relaxed, slip into something comfortable and glamorous for cocktails at the bar.

You’d be forgiven for holing up in the Hotel du Collectionneur's sprawling spa: a hammam, ten treatment rooms and hydrotherapy tub are hard to resist. High-tech facials, Thai massages and fruit-seed scrubs are all on the menu. If you’re in the market for a more strenuous workout, the Beaujon sports complex next door has a pool, gymnasium and indoor climbing wall.

It doesn’t get much more romantic than the view from the roof of the Terrass Hotel in Montmartre. Have a couple’s massage in the spa with luxurious Nuxe products, or get sweaty together in the steam room or sauna, before heading up to enjoy sunset and champagne on the terrace with stunning panoramic views over Paris.
