Here’s a look at some of the latest hotels, restaurants and shops to visit during those moments of down time. Stay The strata of history that saw ancient Lutèce evolve into cosmopolitan Paris inspired the design of the Grand Cœur Latin hotel. Architect Vincent Bastie and interior designer Marie-Paule Clout played on the idea of layered cultural influences throughout the seven floors housed in a 19th-century building, the renovation of which saw the intervention of Paris’ archaeology department. Among the highlights is the 50-foot pool, and its facilities nod to Roman baths. Tucked away on a side street leading to the Champs-Élysées, Le Balzac has the feel of a breezy Parisian town house and shares its address with three-Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire. After its complete overhaul signed by French architectural duo Festen, this 58-room property is all about understatement, with a night bar and Japanese spa.  Hôtel Astra Opéra To shape the identity of four-star Hôtel Astra Opéra and its 77 rooms, architect Philippe Maidenberg looked at four French stars. Cue a masculine feel for rooms inspired by actor Daniel Auteuil; colorful velvet nodding to the Bouglione

He has also taken the stage by storm over the past couple of years, starring in Broadway’s revival of “Spamalot” and now the revival of “Once Upon a Mattress,” which also had a stint at New York City Center in the winter. While both shows feature Urie in showstopping musical numbers, he never considered himself to be “very musical.”  Michael Urie in “Once Upon a Mattress.” “Doing a musical at all, it’s still a pinch me thing,” he says. “I fell in love with theater because of musicals…[but singing] didn’t come naturally to me.” ...
