Beautiful building in classic location between Tuileries and Place Vendome. Grand public spaces on the ground floor (albeit pretty lifeless during our stay) ... different story on 4th floor where we stayed - which was a labarinth (in the old attic level?) with low ceilings and little appeal.
Room unoffensive and unremarkable - smallish and dark with just a small stand-in bath tub as a shower. Good comfortable bed though - but you always get that in a Westin.
Biggest issue was temperature ... we visited on a bitterly cold weekend, and heating in the room either couldn't cope or was not working properly - with the thermostat on max, the corridor outside was considerably warmer than the room! Had to use additional duvet in wardrobe - a first for me in any hotel.
Although I could easily stay again, prefer a hotel with more character, style, buzz and atmosphere ...

Dear ec1jones,
Thank you for taking the time to add your review.
I apologize for the usual low levels in temperatures that we experienced during your stay, and understand how inconvenienced you had been. Please rest assured that the heating issue in your room has since been corrected and was indeed exceptional with the extreme weather conditions that we experienced at the time.
Should you return to Paris in the near future we would be delighted to welcome you back and ensure you feel not just the warmth of the room but also of our welcome.
Best,
Conor Cushnahan
