Printemps, one of the large 'grand magasins' in Paris, is on it's way to becoming one of the top 5 luxury department stores in the world. This summer, Printemps has transformed themselves to include all the elements of a luxury hotel - a grand entrance lobby, fabulous restaurants, and of course a concierge service to fulfill any customer's request. Customers can also take advantage of the Ambience Cafe del Mar, located on the rooftop of Printemps with a full panoramic view of Paris. Also this summer, the windows of Printemps will represent 9 of the world famous Parisian hotels - Fouquet's Barriere, Meurice, Plaza Athenee, Ritz Carlton, Grand Hotel Intercontinental, Bristol, Trianon Versailles, Lancaster, Park Hyatt Vendome, L'Hotel, and L'Hotel Amour. Each window will include a fashion silhouette by top designers such as Cavalli, Lanvin, Valentino, and Yves Saint Laurent. By linking together luxury hotels with fashion, Printemps is truly celebrating all that is wonderful about Paris !
