The Dior Institut at Plaza Athenee
The Dior Institut at the Plaza Athénée is a luxurious spa ensconced in a sumptuous hotel located in one of the most splendid cities in the world – Paris. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Institut is a nominee for a Luxist award in the best day spa category. The connection between the Plaza Athénée and Christian Dior dates back to 1947, when the fashion house’s namesake and founder chose the hotel as a place to photograph and showcase his models. Soon he began to invite his best customers there for lunch, or eat by himself in a private dining room. Dior even named a couple of his designs “Plaza” and “Athénée.”
