Emily Cooper's Guide to Paris
Although the Olympics might be over, Paris is always in fashion as season four of Emily In Paris premieres.
Emily Cooper, the eager Chicago-twenty-something-turned-Paris-resident, returns to Netflix for the fourth season of the hit show Emily in Paris.
This season holds a lot of big promises: love triangles (of course), larger-than-life fashion moments, travel (to Rome!) and even some emotional breakdowns and breakthroughs for Emily herself. If you’re feeling inspired after watching the show, these are the hotels, restaurants and activities to prioritize on your next visit to the City of Lights. And if you're looking for some outfit inspo too, we've got you covered.

Where To Stay
Le Grand Mazarin
Designed by Brit-based interior designer Martin Brudnizki, Le Grand Mazarin is the kind of Parisian maximalist that would make our dear Emily Cooper swoon. The 61-room hotel was opened in late 2023 in the heart of Paris is Le Marais, a district full of life; boutique, art galleries, bakeries, restaurants and shops that feel quintessentially Parisian. And you won’t want to miss the pool – hand painted ceilings make it feel extra chic. Rates start at $505, book now.
La Fantasie
Another gem from designer Martin BrudnizkI in collaboration with culinary giant chef Dominique Crenn is La Fantaisie, a 73-room property that detours from traditional and gives guests an over-the-top experience through bespoke wall fabrics, carpets and rugs. Three bars and restaurants offer around-the-clock dining everywhere from the sidewalk café and rooftop bar terrace overlooking the Sacré-Cœur. It’s a must-stay. Rooms start at $380, book now.

Amour Hotels
Art meets fashion at Amour, with two locations: one in in the ninth district, between Pigalle and Montmartre, and the other in the 10th.

Recently awarded 1 MICHELIN Key, Hotel Le Ballu is another art-lover's dream, this time with a comic book and graphic design twist. The property stands out for its pool, terrace and indoor/outdoor garden restaurant. Rooms start at $286, book now.
Where To Eat & Drink
Terra Nera
Le Chef Hot himself, Gabriel, works at “Les Deux Compères" in the show, but this restaurant is really an Italian spot called Terra Nera. It’s worth checking out, even if gorgeous Gabriel isn’t cooking in the back of house.
Halo Paris
A cross between food and fashion, this new restaurant and concept store from Chef Victor Blanchet boasts a menu that explores Basque Country and the Mediterranean, while spotlighting young and emerging fashion designers and artists. A fashion feast!
Géosmine
At this one Michelin star restaurant, Chef Maxime Bouttier explore seafood, vegetables and more in his €79 five-course lunch and €109 eight-course dinner tasting menus, all set within a two-story townhouse in the Oberkampf neighborhood. And of course, a solid hip hop playlist complements the meal.
Bar Nouveau
This two-story art-inspired bar is teensy tiny, and owned by twins. You can experience the twin dichotomy on each of the levels, the upstairs has a straightforward menu, and when you head downstairs the menu glows under blacklight to show the menu options with different distilling and twists. It’s a must in the Marais.
Strohrer
Stohrer, the oldest patisserie in Paris, was founded in 1730 by King Louis XV’s pastry chef, Nicolas Stohrer. The interior design is breathtaking and the pastries are even better. Worth the visit!
Where To Explore
What To Pack
Explore Montmartre
Spend an afternoon strolling the cobblestone streets of this artistic, bohemian neighborhood in the 18th arrondissement. Snap an Instagram in true Emily style at La Maison Rose, sit on the steps of Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, buy some art at Place du Tertre and shop. If you’re craving a coffee to-go, Café Pigalle has you covered.
Museum and Park Hop
It’s not Paris without at least a little bit of art. Head to the Louvre (obviously) and then enjoy some Monet at the Musée de l’Orangerie, and in between the two set up for a little picnic at The Tuileries Gardens, an iconic spot for a bite and some wine.
