Dressed to the Nines

NEXT TIME YOU'RE zipping up your luggage, consider leaving an item or two behind—especially if you will be staying at a property that can arrange one-of-a-kind shopping experiences.

In Paris, guests at the posh Hôtel Lutetia (doubles from $1,502) can go on a spree at Le Bon Marché, the world's first department store, which opened in 1852. After a champagne welcome in Les Salons Particuliers—the store's sleek third-floor lounge—a personal shopper will help you curate a selection of French classics, like Rivecour shoes, Lanvin leather bags, or Chanel jackets.
