St. Barts
If you want to rub shoulders with Paris and New York City’s elite, a wintertime trip to St. Barts is your ticket to do so. The island is French chic, from the upmarket boutiques in the main city, Gustavia, to the handful of haute beach clubs that populate the island.
When here, stay at Hôtel Barrière Le Carl Gustaf, with its spacious suites and infinity pool that look out at the island’s red-roofed buildings and sinuous Caribbean Sea coastline. I love this brand as, with their hotels outside of France, they still perfectly instill that bona fide French luxury feel you get when you stay with them in France (it doesn’t seem like a try-hard endeavor, but rather the “real thing”).
