Warwick Champs-Elysees - Paris, France     

We stayed at the Warwick Champs Elysees Hotel from the 12th to the 14th April. From the Charles-De-Gaulle airport we took the Air France Coach Service to the Arc de Triompe and walked the rest of the way to our hotel. As it was a Saturday and extremely busy it still only took us about 10 minutes. The hotel is situated just off the Champs Elysee on the Rue de Berrie and is a stylish hotel and reminded me of a New York hotel I had stayed in. We had booked 3 rooms, (two doubles and one twin) the check in staff spoke good english and checked us in very quickly and showed us to our rooms. The two double rooms had a balcony overlooking the street below. We had a bath and shower (over the bath), separate room for the loo, satellite TV, safe, mini bar (which we didn't us as far too expensive) large wardrobes, dressing gown and slippers! We could also choose different pillows from a list provided, if those on the bed were not satisfactory. I was very pleased with the room, it was as spacious as any other hotel and clean. We didn't use the bar in our hotel or go down for breakfast as it was so expensive, Starbucks was our cheaper alternative in the mornings. Overall I would recommend this hotel for its location and good quality service and rooms but remember once your there it's certainly not cheap.

I booked this hotel for a mid-January business meeting. Was booked in one of the Executive rooms. It had a King-sized bed and a living area (couch and chair) on the 3rd floor. The toilet is in the WC, i.e., separated from the main bathroom. The room was very noisy even on a weekday, because of the Club and action on the street. If you like a show, then you would like the action outside your window (e.g. drunken beligerent man being shoved into a cab by bouncers). After complaining, they moved me up to the top (8th) floor. The room was fabulous, about the same size with a balcony that was probably larger than my room. The view included part of the Eiffel Tower. I was surprised to learn that the small bar occupied the other half of the floor. It had a nice balcony to view the Champs-Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe. There wasn't really a bar, but lounge seating. I was able to sit quietly and do some work. Prices are of course expectedly expensive. A glass of champagne was $30, but it came with a large-enough nibble tray of nuts and olives. Still at 3am on a Thursday night, I heard a blood curdling scream from a woman. In the morning, my colleagues (who were staying in lower floors) told me that the woman was screaming, because they were beating her boyfriend up. Probably would have been better to have a room facing the courtyard. The breakfast was plentiful with eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. I arrived quite early when the breakfast room (on the lower level/basement) openned. I decided to sleep in a little later and came down to breakfast at 9:00AM, and it was a struggle to find a free table and get some food. They seemed to have run out of most of the bread and pastries, and I don't think they had an extra supply to refill. My flight was leaving early the following day, so I had them serve me continental breakfast in my room, which was quite yummy. The breakfast is an extra 20 Euros while the room serves was 28 Euros. Of course, you're probably better off going to a cafe for breakfast, but I had meetings, etc. so I took the most convenient alternative. Location is fine. But I prefer to stay on the Left Bank or other areas on personal stays. I prefer to stay in residential neighborhoods where there is a nearby Boulagerie (bakery), etc. There were some shops down Rue de Beri, but it still felt like a touristy commercial neiborhood. Still, walking around Paris is beautiful from this neighborhood towards Fauborg St. Honore! The Metro is always convenient, and the RER station is just up the street, towards to the Arc de Triomphe. I did the obligatory purchase at Lauderee and stood in a 20 minute line just to purchase something. The line/wait for the sit-down cafe was longer. I really don't much like any of the places to eat on the Champs-Elysees and went elsewhere for meals.
