With Christmas around the corner it is time to make the seasonal shopping list for the presents you will be giving to your family and friends. And what a better city to do your Christmas purchases than Paris, one of the shopping European capitals.

Derby Hotels Collection offers you the Stay & Shopping package at Hotel Banke 5* from £326pp/pn.

Opened in 2009, Hotel Banke is located in the heart of Paris in the Opera district, right next to Haussmann Boulevard and the city’s most exclusive shopping center. Occupying the premises of a former bank headquarters and refurbished as a hotel in 2009, the Hotel Banke is housed in an early twentieth-century building, the work of architects Paul Friesé and Cassien Bernard. Its stately facade dominates the corner of Rue La Fayette and Rue Pillet Will with a style that revives the charms of Paris’ Belle Époque.

The 91 rooms in Hotel Banke provide a comfortable heaven where you can escape from the buzz of city life and relax in the peaceful and luxurious surroundings. The arrangements in the rooms are wonderfully refined. Shades of cream and chocolate, purple curtains, wooden floors and plaited leather rugs, damask leather headboards, designer furniture: from the smallest rooms to the grandest suite, comfort is paramount, decorated with warm, quality materials. In the bathroom the most elegant marble is the decoration of choice, though some are decked with an exquisite silver colored mosaic.

The bar and the restaurant are opened to the public. Within this unique atmosphere, hotel guests range from local entrepreneurs, fashionists attracted by the shopping area and fans of exceptional locations. They all enjoy a haven where they can get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Josefin restaurant offers a menu of Mediterranean specialities with contemporary influences. The impeccable taste of the Clos family is present in the choice of outstanding products, in both the furniture and the ingredients selected by the Chef. The restaurant offers a refined Mediterranean cuisine based on French and Spanish specialities, a generous and refined cuisine based on exclusive produce. The chef also runs the breakfast service and meals served on in the second dining room reserved for hotel guests. The breakfast buffet, in its immaculate white décor, offers a terrace atmosphere and a multitude of sweet or savoury specialities. Private spaces are also available for those who want more intimacy.

Lola Bar is the proposal for the cocktail hour. The original tapas and drinks menu burst with mouth-watering flavours from Spain, and a simplicity that lets the extraordinary quality of ingredients speak for themselves.
