A Room With a View... of Les Tuileries

The Duchess of Windsor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rudyard Kipling, Liza Minnelli, Salvador Dali, Orson Welles, Elizabeth Taylor and three of her husbands - Mike Todd, Eddie Fisher and Richard Burton - have all stayed at the opulent Le Meurice Hotel in Paris. Designer Philippe Starck gave this historic pillow palace a makeover in 2007, but it isn't as "stark" as his usual fare. Sumptuous French and Italian brocades reign in rooms decked out in a style redolent of Louis XVI. Bien sûr, all the bathrooms are marble wonders. Whimsical art and Chippendale chairs with metallic upholstery add a modern touch. Last month, Madonna directed a scene for her new movie, W.E., at this iconic hotel.

Beauty can be expensive, but don't worry your pretty head. Tablet Hotels is giving away a 5-night stay at Le Meurice, along with an annual subscription to The Financial Times. Manage your money in style and enter.

Paris: In The Thicke of Things

Robin Thicke muses, "In Paris, I can just walk all day long, from the Arc de Triomphe to the Louvre and over the bridge to the Left Bank." Chase is giving away an ultimate reward getaway for two to Paris, inspired by Robin, plus a signed, original treatment of his music video, "Lost Without U." Along with two tickets to paradise, I mean, Paris, the prize includes three nights at the Renaissance Paris Vendome and $200 for dinner at Le Train Bleu. (If the restaurant looks familiar, you may have seen it in Luc Besson's film, La Femme Nikita. Coco Chanel, Brigitte Bardot, Jean Cocteau, and Salvador Dali used to be regulars.) Now that's an ultimate reward! Chase this down and enter.
