Hotel Features. The hotel's 19th-century Haussmann façade belies a spacious contemporary lobby and a glass-roofed cocktail bar with leather armchairs and sofas, an extensive contemporary art collection and complimentary English-language newspapers. A breakfast salon overlooks the lounge and offers cold buffet-style breakfasts. The on-site Lucas Carton prepares international fare. Café de la Paix is a traditional brasserie that serves French cuisine. A business center offers fax, photocopy and print services. Function rooms accommodate events, and wireless Internet access is offered in public areas. Additional property amenities include a theater-ticket desk, currency exchange and babysitting referrals.

Expert Tip. It comes as no surprise that one of Paris' major attractions relates to the city's renowned dining venues. Place de la Madeleine is located two blocks from the hotel, and boasts a number of charming food shops. Of note is the Hédiard store that displays a selection of gourmet jams, wines, teas and fruits. Opposite this shop is Fauchon, known for its variety of finely detailed cakes and biscuits.

Good location, average facilities, 3* not 4*

A perfectly adequate place to say, although we did upgrade the room. Reception was smart but the rest of the hotel was only average. However well placed to see everything in Paris - nothing to complain about, however nothing to write home about either!

I'll stay here again

There are a few small cafes within 300 metres of the hotel where you can get coffee and croissants for under 10 euros and at the same time soak up the 'Parisian' ambience.

Friendly hotel, good location

This hotel was a pleasant retreat for the end of the day. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, all speak english. Reception and bar area nice place to relax, however bar is unmanned and couldn't get a drink over four days. Ideally located close to metro, shops, restaurants and attractions and a 30 min walk to Champs Elysees. Good choice, reasonable price. Would definately stay there again

Good location but for 4 Star pushing it

Get a 2 day pass for the hop on hop off open top bus, as it is only 3 euros more than the 1 day. An excellent way to see and visit most attractions for short breaks.

Astra Paris

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is at walking distance from the Opera, Printemps and Galeries LaFayatte (Dept. Stores), and La Madeleine.
