Paris in Spring

Hotel Fabric is a fantastic little boutique tucked away on a side street in 11. Checkin was warm and friendly with fresh flowers. The lobby is designed to feel like a living room and includes an honor bar.

We were assigned room 206.

Many interesting design elements are included in the room which is in no way a hamster cage.

The bathroom is superb with an excellent shower. The LED lights are very clever

Shower excellence

About the only quibble with the property is these stupid “don’t steal my hanger hangers.” These do not belong in an upscale hotel.

no no no no

Paris in late April is incredible. Mini rainstorms and bright blue sky between grey clouds.

We spent some time at Luxembourg Garden and at the Louvre.

Since Air France still can’t locate our lost bag after two days, we bought some clothes at a Paris boutique.

Dinner at Kitchen Galerie Bis was outstanding—Asian-French fusion done by a master.

And then Prescription Cocktail Club for some excellent cocktails.

An experimental cocktail (hah) at Prescription

Prescription remains an excellent bar with top notch service.

Hotel Fabric is a fantastic place to stay in Paris in April. Five showerheads and some LED lights thrown in for good measure.
