First, let me apologize because in my head, I ALREADY wrote this review! Then I realized I never did--and this should have been NUMÉRO UN!
5 STARS ALL AROUND -- LE CINQ CODET
Where do I even begin? From the moment I arrived, Le Cinq Codet gave me the five-star Paris experience I was hoping for.
The front desk, restaurant, room service, and entire staff were TOP NOTCH. A very special thank you to Bryan and Andre, who really took care of me during my stay. Your hospitality did not go unnoticed.
Now, my absolute favorite spot: THE COURTYARD.
After being out exploring Paris all day, this became my special place. I would come back, settle into the courtyard with a glass of wine or a Chivas neat , and just relax.
No rushing. No noise. Just a beautiful, tranquil atmosphere where I could unwind, enjoy my drink and take in the fact that I was actually in Paris.
I found myself wanting to be there every day. That courtyard became my little after-hours sanctuary.
And the rooms? Cozy, modern and artistic. The décor is literally ART painted on the walls.
Let's talk about the bathroom too because it deserves its own mention! The bathroom was very modern, with plenty of hot water and that clean, upscale feel you expect from a five-star hotel.
And YES--MY ROOM HAD AIR-CONDITIONING!
There's a misconception that Paris hotels don't have A/C, but Le Cinq Codet absolutely does. My room had its own thermostat, so I controlled the temperature myself. That was a BIG plus!
The room also had electric curtains, a nice-sized wall-mounted TV, and I could Bluetooth/mirror my phone to watch movies and YouTube when I didn't want to watch French television.
But I actually enjoyed watching French TV and trying to learn a little French! Even better, the TV audio played through speakers in the bathroom, and I could also catch the news in English.
Those little details matter.
Water and glasses were already waiting in the room when I arrived, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared.
I stayed in Room 319, and the location was PERFECT for me. I was right near the gym, spa and hot tub, close to the elevator, and that elevator took me straight down to the restaurant, bar and my beloved courtyard.
Talk about convenient!
From the accommodations and top-notch service to those quiet evenings in the courtyard with my wine or Chivas neat, Le Cinq Codet made my Paris stay feel special.
This wasn't simply somewhere I slept while visiting Paris. Le Cinq Codet became part of my Paris experience.
Thank you, Le Cinq Codet, for the amazing hospitality.
Now... LET'S GET INTO THESE PICTURES! Because I have plenty to show you.
Mixed Bag This Verdict: NICE -- VERY NICE!
