There’s no need to book a €4,000-a-night suite to enjoy a taste of palace luxury. A few well-chosen splurges are enough to turn your apartment into a five-star haven: a signature bathrobe, a home fragrance, a chef-prepared dinner or a complete bedding set for sleeping on a real cloud. Here are six purchases for every budget that will make you feel like you’re living the life of a billionaire. The idea? Borrow the little details that make all the difference in the world of luxury hotels and recreate, at home, that delicious feeling of always being on holiday.

First rule of the billionaire lifestyle: never cook when you can have a top chef’s creations delivered to your home. Since May 2026, Matsuhisa Paris, located at Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, has been offering its exceptional Japanese-Peruvian menu for click & collect, ready to pick up directly outside the restaurant, right in front of you as you enter the palace. Crispy rice with tuna, New Style sashimi, tacos, black cod, wagyu beef tenderloin and Chilean sea bass steamed with sake: the menu features several of the signature dishes created around Nobu Matsuhisa’s cuisine. Be warned, though: prices can quickly soar. Our recommendation? Go for the (slightly) more sensible lunch menu at €120 per person or €230 for two, perfect for surprising your other half with a romantic dinner at home. Beautiful tableware is, of course, mandatory!

This is probably the quickest way to turn an ordinary Sunday morning into a palace-style experience. The Ritz Paris bathrobe comes in the house’s famous apricot-peach shade, particularly flattering, and is made from terry cloth composed of 70% Egyptian Mako cotton and 30% cotton. Cosy, enveloping and outrageously chic, slip it on with hotel slippers and treat yourself to breakfast in bed à la room service… before sinking into a steaming bath and embracing the art of doing absolutely nothing. And for those who obsess over the details: the model runs large, so Ritz Paris recommends choosing one size smaller than your usual size. Price: €250.

Ritz Paris unisex adult bathrobe, €250. Also available at the Ritz Paris, 15 place Vendôme, Paris 1st.

The ultimate luxury, after all, is the kind you get to enjoy for hours and hours. Did you know you can actually buy the bedding from your favourite hotels? With its MY BED collection, Sofitel allows you to recreate the legendary comfort of its hotel rooms at home. Bed bases (from €775), headboards (from €845) and the iconic mattress (from €1,845) form the foundation of this new step towards absolute bliss. But true connoisseurs will go one step further with a goose-feather topper that feels like sinking into a fluffy cloud you’ll find almost impossible to leave (€585). Our recommendation? Save up until you can treat yourself to the complete set in one go (or ask for contributions towards it for a major celebration?), with pillows, duvets, bed linen, covers and sheets included — the whole shebang (€5,611–€8,112). We’re naturally obsessed with the ivory colour: thoroughly regal.

In the world of palaces, you don’t say “It smells nice”; you say “I adore this olfactory signature.” As you step into the Bvlgari Hotel Paris, a delicate green tea scent immediately soothes guests, from the lobby to the bedrooms, bar, spa and restaurant. This signature fragrance is none other than Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert, a fresh, luminous and botanical elixir animated by notes of neroli and bergamot. Spritz it on yourself, in your living room or inside your wardrobe to give your interiors and clothes a more refined aura, and take things one step further with the shower gel (€66) and body lotion (€75). Because we all deserve a seriously luxurious bathroom.

Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert, Bvlgari, €122 for 75ml. Also available at Bvlgari Hotel Paris, 30 avenue George V, Paris 8th.

The best breakfasts are, of course, enjoyed in the plush salons of the most beautiful Parisian palace hotels. And one of them happens to have its very own chic grocery shop, where you can pick up everything you need to recreate the experience at home. Because Le Bristol Paris has its own stone mill within the hotel, the legendary Faubourg Saint-Honoré palace sells its irresistible “Pain Vivant” (€9), which keeps for several days and makes it possible to create the most couture breakfast toast in Paris. Once sliced and lightly toasted, all it needs is salted butter, jam and a steaming coffee to turn your kitchen into a palace breakfast salon. Another indulgence: the pastry chef Maxence Barbot’s Vanilla Pecan flan, perfect for a wealthy heiress-style afternoon treat.

L’Épicerie des Ateliers du Bristol, 114 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris 8th. Open Wednesday to Sunday, 10:30am to 5:30pm.

To take the palace experience all the way to your wardrobe, slip into the midnight-blue silk pyjamas from Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel, created in collaboration with Inga-Lena, whose nightwear sets are hugely popular in New York. Elegant cut, deliciously retro allure, deep blue hue and a fabric as soft as a caress: it’s hard to get chicer for lounging around at home. A piece directly inspired by the hotel’s universe, whose boutique offers a whole selection of souvenirs from its rooms, from bedding to home linens. The kind of outfit that can turn even an ordinary Sunday night into a five-star escape.

Inga-Lena x Hôtel de Crillon silk pyjamas, €620. Also available at the boutique of Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel, 10 place de la Concorde, Paris 8th.
