Local knowledge

Request a higher floor room (avoid ground/first floor) if noise sensitivity is a concern, as metro rumble and street sounds are most audible on lower levels
Ask Charles, Gabriel, Alexander, or Pauline at reception for restaurant recommendations—they are known for exceptional local knowledge and can make reservations in French for you
Book the spa/hammam/massage services in advance to ensure availability, and confirm the hammam is properly heated and the massage duration before paying
