Talk about a winter wonderland! Every year the Hilton Arc de Triomphe transforms its Andalusian Patio-- one of the largest open-air hotel gardens in the City of Light and a true haven of calm-- into an outdoor Snow Bar. Decked out with snow-covered Christmas trees and a chalet bar, the Snow Bar is a sight to behold. Get in the Christmas spirit with winter warmers and palate-thrilling canapés served by cocktail waitresses dressed in Santa outfits. Starting December 2, 2010 and running through the end of the year, this seasonal bar promises to be the place to be for holiday happy hours.

Check into the hotel and you'll dig the nautically-inspired Art Deco design scheme by acclaimed architects Jacques Garcia and Alexandre Danan. Reminiscent of a transatlantic liner with custom-designed furniture, this is no run-of-the-mill chain hotel. Also on tap: a fitness center, the beautiful Spa Mosaic offering treatments by Carita, and Executive Lounge where free snacks and refreshments are served with views over the Paris rooftops.
