With an astounding collective love of art, architecture and good old fashioned romance - as well as a heady new rap scene - the city has so many dimensions that you're going to have to prioritize. Luckily for you, you'd have to make a real effort not to see something a bit more special than your everyday city. The French capital is intellectual and classy, home to arguably the world’s most prestigious cuisine, and spattered liberally with instantly recognizable landmarks and strikingly memorable sites.</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #282828; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">The arrival of three big Asian luxury groups over the past year – in the form of the Shangri-La Paris, the Royal Monceau Raffles and the Mandarin Oriental – has shaken up the seemingly timeless order of Parisian grand hotels. Rivalling each other in terms of spacious suites, exclusive spa treatments and gastronomic restaurants, they give Paris some of the most luxurious, and priciest, rooms in the world.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span id="wikiDescriptionMore" style="display: inline;"> </span></span></div>

Not usually one to opt for big, secluded resorts, Coralie Modschiedler puts the hotel to the test.<br /> The warm breeze that greets me as I step off the plane at Larnaca airport couldn’t be more welcoming. Summer at last. One hour’s drive later and we’re finally reaching the grand entrance of the Columbia Beach Resort. Attentive staff immediately take our luggage and escort us to reception, where a fruity champagne cocktail and our room key await.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRtCtkRVuRJnTiDNrpsbuXIFMP0dYj4SNnAWe6nzohwTiTmVTg6kIZP5Eq03sLeNM6_xb1l5rEY5AB_vyuj-CElqrbSvGoWfrcxuO6JFe0WnvufPWCg7_kGStYcWNioD-o55b67frjZw/s1600/surfsidebeachpic1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRtCtkRVuRJnTiDNrpsbuXIFMP0dYj4SNnAWe6nzohwTiTmVTg6kIZP5Eq03sLeNM6_xb1l5rEY5AB_vyuj-CElqrbSvGoWfrcxuO6JFe0WnvufPWCg7_kGStYcWNioD-o55b67frjZw/s320/surfsidebeachpic1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br />     The resort is huge – it’s got 94 suites, two restaurants, its own beach and even a small chapel – but it somehow manages to feel intimate. This effect is largely created by the cleverly spread-out, low-rise stone buildings and terracotta roof tiles that give the place a Cypriot-village feel. For the real thing, Pissouri village is just minutes away, perched on the cliffs above the bay. Small and charming, it’s got a few restaurants and cafés worth checking out, as well as stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline.</div>
