With Paris' Finest Gin Bar and Heated Terrace, One Hotel Keeps Winter Chills at Bay

PARIS, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2013) -  In a city where chic locales appear around every corner, and where the next great idea is always born, it can be challenging to do something first and do it well enough to stand up to the competition. Yet the Renaissance Paris Le Parc Trocadero Hotel has done just that with its casually cool G'Bar & Lounge. And this winter, both groups and individuals can experience the style-defining spot and its neighboring terrace restaurant in a number of delightfully inventive ways.

Guests of this Paris gin mixology bar can see (and taste) first-hand what drew legends like Hemingway and Fitzgerald to the city in the first place. Just as the greats once went for jazz and drinks, today's guests can enjoy an RLife music event each Thursday evening from 6:30 pm to 9 pm while sampling the bar's selection of 30 different gins. The custom-drinks bar can whip up the perfect, personalized sip for each guest and, in the process, create a Paris moment unlike any other.

While the lounge's sleek, chic atmosphere is ideal for beginning or ending an evening, the hotel's Le Relais du Parc restaurant should also enjoy a place on everyone's itinerary. Helmed by Chef Stéphane Duchiron, who joined the hotel in February 2013, this terrace restaurant in Paris showcases regional ingredients (think lemons that hail from Nice and lamb sourced from Aveyron) to give guests a true taste of the country. The menu's strong local context, as well as the modern touches sprinkled lightly throughout, help to make the traditional French menu feel accessible to anyone.

Just as appealing as the menu is Le Relais du Parc's heated terrace. This gracious space, which is hemmed in by foliage and bedecked with white tablecloths, sparkling glassware and amply sized wrought-iron chairs, makes for a quintessential Parisian backdrop to any meal.

This Paris restaurant's terrace also makes an ideal spot for breaks, something groups can easily experience via the Winter Treats promotion. Offering discounted Day Delegate Packages (129EUR per person) and banquet menus (69EUR per person), the promotion includes coffee breaks and aperitifs on the terrace for a refreshing and unique experience.

Groups interested in taking advantage of the special winter rates, which are available through March 31, 2014, should mention "Winter Garden" when booking one of the five event spaces.

About the Renaissance Paris Le Parc Trocadero Hotel
The Paris of Haussmann architecture, softly contemporary interiors, unbeatable location and quiet luxury is best experienced at the historic Renaissance Paris Le Parc Trocadero Hotel. Located near the Champs-Elysees and the Eiffel Tower, this five-star hotel recently underwent a complete renovation to offer its guests the best of Parisian culture and modern amenities. As a result, visitors can enjoy iPod docking stations, flat-screen televisions and broadband Internet in the guest rooms; a 24-hour fitness facility; and a private garden that feels like an oasis amid downtown Paris. The five function rooms are flexible enough to accommodate large and small gatherings, while the location puts guests just steps away from high-end shopping and landmarks like the Arc de Triomphe and Notre-Dame Cathedral. Dining, meanwhile, reflects this same intersection of local and global influences. Le Relais du Parc serves traditional French cuisine that nonetheless feels modern, while G'Bar & Lounge has found its own niche as a custom-drinks bar featuring 30 gin varietals. This is Paris, in other words, at its best.
