The Peninsula Spa

One of Paris’s historic hotels, with two terrace bars where smokers are welcome. You’re bound to meet all sorts of aficionados here. They can get very busy at night, so midafternoon is the best time to enjoy. Inside, check out the floor-to-ceiling bookcase that’s actually a humidor stocked with some of the world’s best cigars. The Kleber Bar makes some terrific cocktails, and Mathieu will tailor-mix one for you if you ask. Try Le Suédois— The Swede—which was created for my friends and me. A whiskey-based, ruby-red drink, it’s one of a kind!
