Featured Property: Hôtel Pourtalès, Paris, France

A truly hidden property for travelers who want an exclusive hideaway in the heart of Paris

Paris has its fair share of hidden gems, but Hôtel Pourtalès is next-level discreet. Tucked behind an unmarked entrance near Place de la Madeleine, this ultra-private retreat has just 11 suites; each feels more like an impeccably designed pied-à-terre than a hotel room. Expect museum-worthy contemporary art, curated furnishings and loft-like spaces with soaring ceilings and terraces overlooking the city. This is where A-listers and creatives come to disappear in style. A dedicated butler caters to every whim, whether it’s a last-minute dinner reservation or an in-room massage, while the hotel’s underground parking means you can slip in and out unseen. 

• Evan Mason exclusive perks include welcome amenities, daily breakfast, an upgrade whenever possible and guaranteed extended check-in/out.
