If I wasn’t so hopeless when it comes to working in Excel, you would have had this information sooner. As it is, I can’t only provide it now because Christie Dengler came to my rescue.

Juan-les-Pins is a popular holiday destination located on the Côte d’ Azur between Nice and Cannes. Here, Marilyn recommends the Sainte Valerie Hotel, “A small boutique hotel, lovely breakfast outside on the patio. Walking distance to the shopping rea of Juan les Pins and the famous Pinede.

Favorite hotels around the world will be a delicious list to read! Excellent idea Elizabeth…Le Meurice in Paris has one of the best roof tops in the city to sip and savour.
Great list! I would add to this list, the Prince de Galles, the Fouquet’s Barrière, the Park Hyatt Vendôme Paris, the Mandarin Oriental and last but not least, the Shangri-La! Any of those would delight anybody staying there.
Looks like I have a few more hotels to visit! Currently in love with all things boutique in Paris!
