Warm up inside the beautiful hotel by ordering an elegant treat created by Christophe Michalak, World Pastrycook Champion. His "2008 Yuletide Log" is crafted from sumptuous ingredients (crunchy praline, light-as-air milk chocolate mousse and lime-flavored banana cream) and designed in the shape of an antique chest, inspired by the hotel's decor. Book the "Festive Offer" at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée and add a touch of magic to your next holiday in Paris. Priced from EUR 695 in a Superior Room and available until January 31, 2009, the offer includes American Breakfast for two, access to the ice-rink and skate rental, a 30-minute ride in the horse carriage, and in-room gift from the Pastry Chef.
