The prices might be high, but it's really no higher than Manhattan hotels. In return, you get a room close to Champs-Elysees for shopping and access to fine nearby restaurants such as Pierre Gagnaire. The lobby of the hotel was very comfortable, with inviting couches. The service was great, from arranging transport to housing our luggage. Our room was a charming room, sized like Manhattan rooms (so it might be a shock to the rest of you Yanks used to much larger rooms), with the requisite artwork hanging behind the bed, which seems to be a staple of nicer rooms in Paris. All in all, a very satisfying stay! read more
