Paris is no stranger to window peeping. But on the Avenue de Saxe earlier this year, nightfall went beyond the normal neighbor watching. Unfurled on the sidewalk, a red carpet ran the length of a stately 19th-century building, and a crowd gawked behind a DJ booth.
On cue, ballet dancers and violinists in gorgeous red gowns performed a spectacle in the windows — kicking off the inauguration of SAX Paris, the first European hotel for Hilton’s LXR Hotels & Resorts and one of the most talked-about openings this year.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Luxury Travel Advisor.
