Hotels In Paris City Center
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…
