What guests report

View

Best views from rooms overlooking Tuileries Garden and facing the Louvre; courtyard rooms offer less spectacular views

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable with high-quality linens; beds described as huge, supremely comfortable, and ensuring restful sleep

Bathroom & water

Luxurious with high-quality finishes, two sinks, separate tub/shower combinations; one review noted Japanese toilets available

Wi-Fi

Described as good in some areas but spotty in others, with some rooms having weak connectivity

Breakfast

World-class when included with room; highly praised for fresh pastries, gourmet options, and presentation; expensive standalone (€62-89 per person) with inconsistent quality for non-hotel guests

AC / heating

Generally reliable with remote controls to operate heating/cooling from bed; one review noted difficulty controlling temperature

Local knowledge

Book the lunch menu at the Michelin-starred restaurant—it's roughly half the price of dinner while offering the same quality and excellent cocktails.

Request a room overlooking the Tuileries Garden or with views of the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides for the best experience.

Order Cédric Grolet pastries directly at your table for around €10 instead of waiting in long queues outside the pastry shop.
