Sherman's Travel

The Luxury: The City of Lights is set to shine even brighter this spring, when the much-buzzed-about “Warhol’s Wide World” exhibit opens at the Grand Palais, featuring some 250 works by pop art pioneer Andy Warhol. Six Parisian hotels associated with the prestigious Concorde Hotels & Resorts chain are stepping up to offer VIP access to the grand event with exclusive packages. The Value: Rates start at about $260/night for a room, two priority-access tickets to the exhibit, and a Warhol-themed box of Parisian sweets for stays until June 29. The most inexpensive package covers a stay at the chain’s Hotel Concorde Montparnasse, which usually charges about $230/night just for a room. So an outlay of $30 more nets some $90 in extras. The Catch: Your own 15 minutes of fame are not included in the deal. The Details: For more information, call 800-888-4747 or visit www.concorde-hotels.com/warhol.
