Sorry, I failed to finish my review about Hôtel La Tamise in the 1st Arrondissmont.
I truly not only miss Paris, but this incredible boutique hotel situated in one of the best locations.
I had the hotel send a private car to pick me up from Orly. The ride was about 40 minutes as we were stuck in traffic. The driver was a great guy and kept in communications with me until we met up.
Arrived at La Tamise. It was beautiful. The building front along the side street...I had chosen well.
Prince greeted me and gave me my room key. Room 10...it was fantastic! Clean. Gigantic. Big shower with handheld shower heads.
Big comfy bed (sans bedbugs...never saw one, thank God). My room windows were typical Parisienne. So hard for me not to keep them both open.
The room was better appointed than some 5-stars. They have top-end tea (Rooibos) in the room. It is delicious, (but maybe be careful to not over do it with this tea if you are an estrogen-sensitive breast cancer survivor...look it up), the best hot cocoa packs I ever had (sorry, I was steps from Angelina's and this cocoa was way better), all the bottled water (Evian) I could drink, and top end bathroom products, (although careful if you too have nut allergies as the lotion had a nut oil).
I'm telling you... when I return, my friends here have to have a room for me! It's the best!!
Saleh in the breakfast room was "my new best friend." So kind, and so attentive. The hotel can't afford to lose him. His impeccable service and customer interactions were amazing. Seriously.... give this man a pay raise! (Thank you, best friend.) The breakfast was perfect. Petite dejeuner at its best!! Try the chocolate muffins. Thank God I was walking 20,000 steps a day... work off those chocolate treats!!
I was so sad when I left my hotel. I switched my arrondissment to 5. I had pre-planned that to happen, but wished I had stayed longer at Hôtel La Tamise. (Although, if on a longer vacay, I strongly recommend changing areas.)
Only complaint...clean the shower head in Rm 10.
Thank you Hôtel La Tamise for being a huge part of the reason my trip was so incredible!! read more
