When visiting Paris for a fashion show, an exhibition, or simply for a couple of days brake, the hotel Westin is one of the best options. Very near to the Louvre Museum, the city of Paris is at your doorstep. Located in the first Arrondissement, the hotel is just a few steps from the Place Vendôme, Place de la Concorde and the elegant Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, with its myriad of fashion boutiques.The hotel opened its doors in April 1878 as Hotel Continental. It
was designed by Charles Garnier's nephew Henri Blondel and it was celebrated as the most exclusive property of its kind, and regarded as a national treasure of France's Second Empire. It occupied the full block that was the former premises of the Ministry of Finance. The Hôtel Continental remained the largest 
and most luxurious hotel in Paris for decades. The Russian Grand Dukes as well as many other royals and celebrities habitually stayed there. A product of the age of Napoleon III, a period of splendour and grandeur, the hotel is a perfect embodiment of the desire to build a French capital of elegance and refinement. Today, the Hotel Westin Paris continues to embody this spirit and its charm.
The Hotel Westin Paris includes 438 rooms and suites which are very elegantly decorated with precious fabrics, sophisticated cream and blue colours, crystal chandeliers, marble bathrooms, and of course the Westin Exclusive of 'Heavenly Beds'.
In the evening, I highly recommend you try the traditional 
brasserie style cuisine in Le First, the hotel's restaurant. Designed by Jacques Garcia, spectacularly dreamed-up by Patrick Juhel, one of the Meilleurs Ouvrier de France. The setting is really beautiful, decorated with luxurious velvet and silk materials. After your dinner, you can have a drink in the selective environmet of the "Bar des Tuileries". The perfect place where you can sip cocktails, lounge in armchair comfort, and delight in the live piano bar ambiance. 
Whatever you do, you have to go and see the salons with their impressive second empire-style frescos. The spectacular 19th-century Salon Impérial with its ceiling ornate mirrors and chandeliers; the Salon Napoléon with rococo ornamentation, striking friezes, and glittering chandeliers; The Salon Aiglon with the magnificent gilded pillars decorated in gold leaf to the ceiling where they meet intricate frescos and golden sculptured angels. Last year I was invited to a fashion show that took place in the Salon Napoleon, and I can tell you that it was a dream.
