Definitely the perfect choice
Olesia at the front desk was awesome. Went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. The concierge desk, the maids, the bar and the restaurant were all excellent. Beautiful old hotel with a fantastic staff.

Great if you were staying in 1955
Great location and obviously was a great hotel once. But now very dated and has not come into the 21st century. For example, the internet is terrible, drops out, slow and that was just for emails and newspapers. Would not be able to work online there.

Heritage classic
Hotel has lovely old charm but with updated bathrooms. Good location for Paris end shopping and theatres. We were updated to a super suite which was as big a a small house! Would recommend if you like heritage feel.

Everything was fabulous except that we could not find a pillow from your available selection that was well suited to us. Apart from that, we had a wonderful stay in all respects.

What hotels were and should be
In the real heart of the city, is a retreat in time, to when genuine care and attention to a traveler still exists. From the arrival, immediate access to the theatre district, and a breakfast to actually enjoy, it is truly sad to leave.

A fantastic property with the grace and elegance one would expect in a heritage hotel. However, it could spruce up its act in regards to the wifi which was terrible and not throw up surprises like a 70 dollar bill for using the valet service on two occassions.

In general the stay was okay, however there was limited impact made by the 'cooling' and the windows wouldn't open. Staff wete friendly and the hotel is aesthetically pleasing, but not the best value for money. We wouldn't stay again.
