I am a female professional working for a world renowned American museum. I have been staying at this hotel since the mid 1980's. The location could not be better. Walking distance to the Louvre, Place du Concorde, Arc de Triomphe, major department stores, etc. Great shopping area. Restaurants, small market near by for those "none mini bar priced" drinks and snacks. Rooms, although varied in size, none are tiny. Windows are now double paned for better heating and noise control. I lways ask for a room facing rue Tronchet. Some rooms have portable air conditioners, so ask for one. Rooms are clean, bed comfortable, hairdryers are not so good so I bring my own. I bring a small stand alone mirror for preparing my hair at the desk as sometimes the room mirror is too high to be seated. My only real complaint is I wish they had more English language cable tv stations for those days or nights that you just want to rest. Sometimes I just can't watch anymore European CNN. I am going to Paris again this March (07) and it will be like coming home as the staff will all recognize me.
