catgirl Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Can anyone recommend a hotel in Paris for a weekend away without the children. Don't want to be spending a fortune but would like somewhere that felt a bit special. Much appreciated.

silverfox Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Don't normally like to recommend hotels etc because it can be subjective. However have a look at the Hotel de Vigny by the Arc de Triomphe/Champs-Elysees. Part of the Relais & Chateaux group which guarantees excellent food. Not cheap but ideal for a special occasionhttp://www.hoteldevigny.com/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6208-wanted-recommendation-for-hotel-in-paris/#findComment-199470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cate Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I can't recommend a hotel, but can recommend an area - the Marais. Lots going on. I also recommend looking at the website davidlebovitz.com. He's a Paris based chef/baker and has a fantastic website with recipes, shopping, inc. a very good market in the 4th on Sunday, and restaurants.

Siduhe Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Not for hotels, but some good restaurant recommendations on these threads. Last time we went we did a walking tour of the Marais district and it was good fun. If you go, definitely try Falafel Alley (if you like Falafel that is) and try some of the chocolate shops - Jacques Genin's shop is amazing to look at and the chocolate isn't half bad too...http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2008/12/jacques_genin_opens_in_paris.html http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,188683,195627http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,128080,129839 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6208-wanted-recommendation-for-hotel-in-paris/#findComment-199525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurismum Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 H0tel Scribe is rather chic - quite a while since I stayed there -so not sure how expensive.Also not that flash but very comfortable and not that expensive the Paris Bastille- near Bastille -good transport links and within walking distance from the Marais.

giggirl Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hotel Tremoille is posh and worth every Euro. Quite an experience. Highly recommended.http://www.hotel-tremoille.com/Hotel Atlantis Saint Germain is a real find. Bargain price, great location, lovely hotel. I can't find its website but the reviews are here:http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g187147-d325742-Reviews-Hotel_Atlantis_Saint_Germain_des_Pres-Paris_Ile_de_France.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6208-wanted-recommendation-for-hotel-in-paris/#findComment-199585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliecharlie Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 http://www.parismarais.com/4-star-hotels-paris-marais.htmthe Marais is a great area to stay, if you want something fun and different(but not the cheapest) try Le Petit Molin... It's fab and worth paying a bit more for... very theatrical and very Parisiansee the link below for more comments and infohappy trip!xxcchttp://www.urbanfleadesign.com/2008/04/interior-inspiration-hotel-du-petit.htmlhttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KnFzPfKqS48/SBaVVBHhyRI/AAAAAAAAAkg/KLN7J4BtRIA/s400/room8.jpg Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6208-wanted-recommendation-for-hotel-in-paris/#findComment-199608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSetWilly Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 try le hotel d,esmeralda - rue st-julien le pauvre,its not the most modern of hotels, but it has character in abundance, with views of the seine and notre dame and its also more or less next door to another parisian institute - shakespeare and co. highly recommended.

zephyr Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Mrs Zephyr and I stayed at Hotel Jardin Le Brea last August when we were on a break without the children. It was great - used it as a base for sightseeing and was certainly central enough for us. It is in the Montparnasse area Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6208-wanted-recommendation-for-hotel-in-paris/#findComment-199644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be sure to soften your pronunciation of the 't' in chat when talking to the frogs. 'Le cha(t) noir' means 'the black cat' whilst 'Le ChaT noir' means something entirely different...uuufff.
