"Hard to find but worth it"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
This hotel had nicely appointed rooms, was spacious (as European hotels go), and was conveniently located -- although hard to find. Even taxi drivers were not sure where it was or how to get there, but we had them drop us off on the Champs and we could walk to the hotel in less than two minutes. Next to the hotel there was a good yoga studio, and practically anything else that we wanted was nearby. Breakfast was good, and the staff was quite helpful, with the exception of one bad call wherein we were sent to a dull nightclub.

Gorgeous romantic boutique hotel

This is a beautiful little hotel in a great location just off the Champs Elysees. The staff are all lovely, the decor is very chic but traditional, and the rooms are compact but extremely comfortable. My husband and I stayed here for our first anniversary and it was just perfect. It's in a very stylish part of the city with designer shops and trendy bars and restaurants nearby. It's really close to the Metro, but because it's on a little side street it's very quiet. I love the individual styling of the rooms - so much more welcoming and cosy than some boring chain hotel. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, but especially those looking for a romantic getaway.

Excellent choice

My wife and I stayed at this hotel June 8 to June 14, 2008. We found the hotel to be excellent in all respects. Absolutely great location, next to Champs Elysee, metro and all, but still very private and quiet. Very nice, tastefully decorated common areas such as lobby, sitting areas, fabulous breakfast room. Free wireless internet in the lobby, not particularly fast, but worked. If you want faster, in-room internet, wired or wireless, it is available at additional charge from a third party provider. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding, we never wanted to leave.....Room decor was very nice, good A/C system, very nice bathroom with marble floor, well decorated. Everything worked well in the room. Small flat panel TV, many international channels, CNN Europe version etc. The staff was very friendly and helpful, made several calls on our behalf to restaurants and museums, shuttle service. I loved the small size of the hotel (40 rooms); makes you feel more at home away from home than in a "hotel". The room we were in was not large: if you are looking for a large room, this may not be the place....Overall, it was a wonderful stay, I would go back there in a minute.
