How To ‘Eat, Play, Love’ Through Paris And London This Summer

Outside Shangri-La Paris in Paris, France Marcelo Barbosa - 2022 VRX StudiosSummer 2025 is finally upon us. And while this year has been far from normal, one thing is for certain: Americans are getting out.A new study from market research company Leger indicates that 49% of Americans plan to take at least one leisure trip this summer, similar to last summer when 51% planned a summer vacation. With Olympic buzz a year behind us and the 15th anniversary of the classic summer flick Eat, Pray, Love on the horizon, what better way to indulge in the season than with a trip to Paris? And while you’re at it, add London to the itinerary.“London and Paris are a great duo on any itinerary," says Emma Tames, luxury travel agent at Fora. “There’s always something new to see and do, like the David Hockney exhibit at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris or Burlesque: The Musical in London.” Plus, visiting one or both of these cities means it’s easier to book a direct flight - or make the most of what could be an inconvenient layover.To ease indulgence in high end escapism, the international luxury hospitality brand Shangri-La launched a summer campaign at its European properties to indulge visitors with an “eat, play, love” experience.A junior suite at Shangri-La Paris, overlooking the Eiffel Tower Shangri-La ParisEach property is highlighting dining, exploring, and self renewal (romance is optional, but, well, Paris), and can be paired up for a longer itinerary. Naturally, Paris and London, less than two hours from each other by train, make for a great duo of eating, playing, and loving.Whether you’re going solo ala Julia Roberts’ character or bringing a travel partner, here’s how to make the most of it, and eat, play, and love every day of vacation.Eat, Play, Love: ParisCheck into the Shangri-La Paris (rooms start at $1400/night), where spacious guest rooms overlook the Eiffel Tower and are appointed with high-end amenities. Perfectly positioned for a relaxing stroll by the Seine, the property is quiet and comfortable, ideal for a self-care focused getaway.Named one of Forbes’ Vetted top hotels in Paris, this five-star oasis in the former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte is resplendent in history and luxury
