On a recent work trip to Paris I went to see a variety of hotels - in fact I saw quite a few of the same hotel chains including the Mercure, Novotel and Sofitel and from the Sofitel chain this was one of them; Sofitel Le Faubourg.
The Hotel:
The Sofitel Le Faubourg is a luxury hotel in the heart of the city centre. A four star hotel that has a variety of room types and an elegant style it has a range of amenities to suit every type of holiday maker.
Location:
The Le Faubourg hotel has a brilliant location in terms of how of how central it is to the Champs Elysee and so not far from many of Paris' main sights and also in terms of the fact it is on a road that is not directly open to traffic unless specifically going to a building on the street. The result is a very quiet location even on front facing rooms which is quite ...
Advantages: Great location, wonderful facilities, very friendly staff, the swimming pool is bliss Disadvantages: smallish room, slow service
When traveling to Fiji a couple of years ago, I spent 5 days at the Sofitel there; a wonderful experience!
Transportation
The hotel arranged a shuttle from the airport, where I was greeted by musicians. This welcome with relaxing music ertainly set the tone for the rest of the stay. The trip from Nadi airport to the hotel took nearly 30 minutes, giving me the opportunity to enjoy the view. The traffic at Fuji is a breath of fresh air after the chaos that is Dutch rush hour: there was room to spare on the excellent roads!

Design of the hotel

For our honeymoon we went to several places in the US, we stayed in LA for 4 nights all at the Sofitelhotel. We also stayed at the famous - Waldorf Astoria in New York and the Sofitelhotel comes very close to the Waldorf in terms of our favourite.
The location of the hotel is not the best, i.e it is not in the middle of all the action, however tl not be a hindrance if you rent a car, and I suggest very strongly that you should rent a car because it is almost impossible to get round LA without it.
We only stayed in a standard room but it was huge!! The best bit about it was the bed. We were seriously jet-lagged for the first 2 days of the trip in LA so sleep was important, and I have to say that the best nights sleep of my life were in that bed. I can't explain it - it was so comfortable and very big, it must have been queen size ...
