Hotels In Paris City Center

December 24th, 2010 Comments off

I am taking my wife to paris as part of our honeymoon. Any recommendations on nice hotels in the city centre?

I don t know what Yahoo Travel suggested there…. and I d be very interested who did that rating…(Best Western etc..)

I d suggest you the world famous “George V” in the Avenue George V.
It s about 150m from the Champs- Elysées (to the Metro station George V it s about the same distance), the famous Luis Vuitton shop which looks like a suitcase is in the same road (corner Champs Elysées/Ave George V).
It s got all the pomp many people expect from a hotel in Paris and is without a doubt one of the nicest hotels in France. By the way, the restaurant “Le Cinq” was rated with three stars by the reputed Guide Michelin.

Or 2nd alternative:
“Le Prince de Galles”, which also is in the Avenue George V, just next to the hotel mentioned before. It s a lot smaller than the George V, doesn t have such an impressive hall but I think it s got its charms. There s less pomp going on but the rooms (at least those I ve had…been there 6 times) are really nicely arranged- the whole hotel is art-déco style.

But what is even nicer than the hotels themselves is where they are located, you can reach quite every nice – or let s say: famous-spot by just walking there. The “Place de la Concorde” is like a 7-10 mins walk away, right after that, you already are by the Seine and you can walk past all the famous bridges to the “Ile de la Cité” (30mins)… if it s the Louvre, la Place Vendôme etc etc everything is quite close and you won t have to take the Metro (which I hate because it s too crowded and often it simply stinks).

Option 3- the Ritz at the Place Vendôme
Also a lot of pomp, good location but well, don t know… would prefer the George V…

Option 4- The Westin Paris, just vis-à-vis du Louvre

The prices for the George V, the Ritz and the Westin should be around 500-750Eur , the Prince de Galles and the Westin (which should be slightly cheaper than the Prince de Galles) are around 350Eur…anyway, they re all very expensive…

Hotels In Paris For Families

Family of four looking for hotel in paris?

Couple with two teenagers looks for a cheap place to stay in paris for one or two nights.

This is tough because Paris hotel rooms are tiny. We usually have to book two rooms.

The Novotel chain is good. We can usually get connecting rooms.

Last fall, I got desperate because my three kids are small and therefore can’t be in a separate room. We stayed in a hotel. It was clean, well-located and we had our own bathroom. It is very basic but at 100 Euros a night (with breakfast), we didn’t complain. Well, my son did about the push-button showers lol! We brought our own towels and rented their sheets.

I don’t recommend this if you’re coming from America or anywhere else far away.

Look into the Citadines chain. They have “apart-hotel” rooms, with kitchens. They’re sort of a cross between the two. The advantage with the kitchen is that you don’t have to go out for all your meals.

Good luck!
