What you're near — and what you're not
- Champs-Élysées and luxury shopping
- Élysée Palace district
- Walkable to the 1er and Tuileries
- Left Bank and Marais are a metro ride
- Quiet, residential-government quarter at night
What you're paying for
Spacious, classically decorated rooms and suites, many facing the private garden. The hotel skews calm and elegant; family suites and the rooftop pool make longer stays comfortable. Garden-view rooms are the ones to request.
