If you know me or my reviews you know I love Intercontinental, this one is no exception! We recently went to Paris for wifey's big 30, this charming hotel is conveniently located, and the staff and comfort is top notch.
Located near the best shopping in Paris, the hotel is 4 blocks from the Champs-Elyses and a very short walk to the Arc de Triomphe! The hotel isn't big and blends into the historic Parisian neighborhood beautifully. At check in we told the front desk clerk that my wife's bag had been misplaced by Air Canada and needed to let someone know it would be arriving late. The concierge Helene sprung into action and as soon as we were checked in, she sat us down and asked for all the details. Moreover she gave us a map of the city, pointed out places for my wife to get makeup and other temporary items till her suitcase arrived. Then she called the airline every couple of hours for two days to make sure the bag arrived without further delay.
The rooms are super comfortable and large for European hotel standards. The shower is a tad awkward because it's a large step in and out but otherwise we were very happy. The ac gets super cold, the bed is comfortable and the room also comes with a smart phone you can use in Paris to help get around and even call the states! What an awesome touch.
Lastly I again go to the staff, my wife received a hand written and drawn birthday card and a box of macaroons with a bottle of champagne! They made sure we had everything we needed, arranged cabs, suggested awesome dining options and made her birthday unforgettable! If you find yourself in Paris, for the money it's the best hotel there and I highly recommend it! read more
