This is a cozy, intimate, local French-style hotel located on Wagram street very close to Arch de Triumph and 2 streets over from Champs Elysees (3 minute walk). The hotel is very close to 2 metro stations and a good overall Paris location.
Rooms are smaller than what you might expect in the US (welcome to Paris), but really give a great local feel. Accomodations are simple, yet elegant. You really get a classic, historic feel about the building. Walk down the road to the Monoprix Supermarket, grab wine, cheese, bread, macaroons, and put them your room fridge. When you stop by the hotel in the late afternoon, you're all set for a little break. This hotel is a great place to call your temporary home in Paris whether you're on business or vacation. If you're looking to go more upscale, there is an impressive, modernist Rennaisance (Marriott) across the street; not sure what the pricing is there but certainly a bit more.
The beds are decent, but not super supportive. I believe the hotel has both heat and air conditioning (some places in Europe do not hav A/C for you newbies).
Breakfast is usually included in the Hotel Ceramic price (as for many Western Europe hotels)...The lady working the breakfast nook is really kind. You get a bread basket filled with croissants, pastries, nutella, butter, jam plus they have yogurt, coffee, juices. You can customer order eggs for a bit extra. There is also one gentelman working at the front counter who was very helpful in providing suggestions for restaurants, directions, etc.
This hotel is quite the charmer and good overall place to crash for a week or two in Paris. read more
