street with cafes, restaurants, luxury shops and art galleries. The hotel is ideally situated for visitors to the area. The hotel has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that emphasis friendly and hospitable service. It also has excellent facilities and public areas. Built in 1892, offers fifteen spacious rooms with high ceilings, king or queen beds, and private baths, and is decorated in an Old West motif (inspired by the many Western movies filmed in and around Durango, Colorado).
Advantages: Proximity to the Champs-Elysées Disadvantages: None
...Located between the ChampsElysees and avenue Georges V, (Paris 8th) the hotel frontenac is a great place to stay. I stayed there last month, and I remember having booked the hotel on 123 France (http://www.123france.com/123/en/hotel.php?idhot=64).
The hotel is in front of Zegna and other fashion designers. The Eiffel Tower is a half hour walk and Concorde is something like 10 minutes.
The breakfast at the hotel was quite good, the service was above expectations and the amenities are ok given the location.
Close to the hotel, there is the Lido and it's famous cabaret. At the top of the Champs-Elysées, you will definitely have to go at the top of the Arch of Triumph : the view is priceless !...

Advantages: see it for yourself, there isn't enough room to type it all Disadvantages: cafes can be expensive - cost us £10 for sprite and coke!
...Go to the ChampsElysees! You will love it. I went ast year for the first time and I plan to go every year for the rest of my life. Paris is wonderful but it is the ChampsElysees that makes it so good.
The shops are great, street cafes are wonderful (good for a nosy), the street is immaculate (they clean it night and day). If you can, stay at the Hotel California just off the Champs on Rue de Berri. It is an art gallery and hotel in one and is truly luxurious. If you have a Royalties Account with the Royal Bank of Scotland, you can get 50% off this hotel and many others.
The Arc de Triomphe is really what it is all about. I cannot begin to explain how impressed you will be with this incredible monument. I will never forget the first time I saw it - I was awestruck and quite moved by it's splendor.
Go to Paris, stay at the Hotel...

Advantages: Good restaurants, Plenty to see Disadvantages: The locals
...I first visited Paris about seventeen years ago. It was June, it was hot, the journey was terrible and the hotel a cheap, dingy rather seedy two star place in one of those narrow backstreets and as for the smell - it was indescribable (all that poddle mess in that heat!). I have to say my first impressions were not good but somehow the lure of the ChampsElysee, Sacre Coure and Mont Matre kept nagging so eventually I returned, this time in the Winter. What a suprise, clean streets and fairy lights on the Chapms Elysee - this was the Paris I had expected the first time around. Somehow all those boulevards seem more inviting, the buildings more interesting; but the locals were no more welcoming - are well you can't have everything....
