Getting Around

Pages 037 – 040
By City

What is actually ideal in each place, so nobody is stuck waiting on a cab before a reservation.

Paris

Walk, or grab an Uber. The hotels, Diep, and the Champs-Élysées are all steps apart in the 8th. For anything further, Uber and Bolt are everywhere and instant.

Marbella

Let the hotel arrange cars. The dinners are a short coastal drive from Los Monteros and the front desk can have one waiting. La Cabane is on-site, just walk down.

Ibiza

Book a private driver for the trip. Taxis are scarce and cannot be pre-booked, so a driver or van for the group covers Lío, Jondal, and CLAP House. Ushuaïa, Hï, and UNVRS are a short walk from the hotels.

VIII
