Trip back in time and stay at the oldest, most luxurious hotel on
Place de la Concorde
, the historic
Hôtel de Crillon. Though it's packed with
17th and 18th century tapestries
, sparkling chandeliers, gilt-and-brocade furniture, fine sculpture, and
Louis XVI
chests and chairs, the anachronistic state-of-the-art amenities will remind you it's 2010. No wonder
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis
,
poor little rich girl Barbara Hutton
,
Charlie Chaplin
, international playboy
Porfirio Rubirosa
, and
Orson Welles
slept here. So have
Elizabeth Taylor
and Arnie (
Schwarzenegger
).
Marie-Antoinette 
may have let them eat cake, but history tells us this is where she took music lessons.
Mariah Carey
,
Axl Rose
, and
Madonna
no longer need to study, but they've all spent the night. There's even a
Leonard Bernstein 
suite, named for the great 20th century conductor and composer, which features three bedrooms, two living rooms, a sauna, jacuzzi, Turkish bath and high tech equipment. Stand on the large terrace and take in a majestic
view of Paris
, from the
Eiffel Tower
to
the Musée d’Orsay
. Want to see for yourself? You're in luck.
