Stayed here my last night in Paris and it was amazing! The pool and spa amenities are beautiful! We ordered room service and it came quick and was tasty. Location is prime and right in the middle of everything. Lots of lighting in the room as well. Whole hotel had a very elegant ambiance, I wish I could’ve stayed more nights! The bar on the first level made well made drinks. The free breakfast in ...

We stayed here just before Christmas for our family’s first trip to Paris. The hotel and staff were amazing and location very good. Staff were super helpful and spoke fantastic English. They recommended restaurants for us to try and we also ate in the hotel for breakfast plus lunch/dinner. The food and drinks were really good. Our room was junior suite and beautiful. I would highly recommend this...

This was our second time visiting the hotel and it's such a magical place. The only thing we didn't get which we received in all other 5 stars was a little welcome note or gift on arrival in the room. But the rooms are excellent, well equipped and extremely clean. The hotel has a cool pool table lounge and bar. The pool area is fabulous and everyone is so friendly and helpful. Absolutely love and ...

We usually love this hotel & have stayed there three times now when we come to Paris, but this time we didn't enjoy the service we received and left not feeling happy at all. They used to provide access to the spa after the checkout so you were able to use it before your train, but the rules have apparently changed without us being informed during the check-in. We checked out earlier than the mid...

I couldn't find a link to review the restaurant because we didn't stay. However we had such a great really early dinner (to get to Crazy Horse by 7:15) that we came back the next night. Ronaldo (sp?) and William took fantastic care of us and provided us two memorable meals. The food itself was remarkable even for Paris. It was high quality and prepared with even more care than is typical for ...

So a weird thing. I booked this with American Express and all the information said the room includes free mini bar. The website, the sheet I received at check-in and even the staff member who showed me my room mentioned the free mini bar. But my room has a refrigerator with two bottles of water in it, flat and sparkling. Now I’m not expecting Chateau Petrus or Louis XIII, but this is not a min...
