Where to Stay
I absolutely LOVE the location of this hotel, just a short walk away from The Marais district with all of its happening bars, restaurants, and shrops. Making its avant-garde debut on the scenic banks of the Seine, SO/Paris effortlessly blends art and fashion. Guests can soak in the sights from the rooftop terrace with views of the Seine at Bonnie Restaurant as well, which pays tribute to the ‘60s and ‘70s with seafood-centric dishes and signature cocktails.

How to Save Money on Flights for Your Trip
Worried about the cost of flights? Here’s my quick tip for any vacation planning. Google Flights is your friend! You can do a search from your home airport to anywhere. Seriously…you can type in (Home City) to ANYWHERE! Add your dates and Google Flights will show you what’s available. I like to look at direct flights but you can also look for 1-stop flights and set your minimum layover. (I recommend 2.5 to 5 hours—the friendly skies are not very friendly these days.) Also, if you plan on checking bags, make sure you select adding luggage. Google Flights is really such a great tool. Once you find the flight that works, I recommend booking directly with the airline. Do not use a 3rd party service you’ve never heard of.
