 Edouard VII Hotel, Paris by Fam_Stoica
The magic of the Boulevard, the excitement of the department stores, the luxury of the shops in the Place Vendome and the Champs Elysees are within easy reach of the hotel.
The Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, used to stay in this elegant Haussmann style residence built in 1877. Run by the Corbel family since 1951, the hotel marries the aristocratic lifestyle of Edwardian times with every conceivable modern comfort.
The rooms are spacious, elegant and full of eye-catching details. 70 newly refurbished guest rooms including air conditioning and soundproofing.
Mini Bar, Cable TV (21 International channels), Safe Deposit, Room Service 7am-11pm, Direct line telephone & voice email, automatic wake-up calls, modem plug.
The renovated cocktail bar with its wood-panelling and stained glass.
The hotel's staff are efficient, friendly and able and there's nothing like a cosy meal.
A non-stop service is available from 11am to 11pm.
A traditional "french carte" is available from 12am to 2pm and 7pm to 10pm. Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average

For a reason I don't understand, we were upgraded from a standard double to a suite. The rack rate for the double was €390 (about US$500) a night; that for a junior suite was €520 (US$665). We were charged only €310 ($397).
The suite (606) was luxurious: a small bedroom with TV, two tables and chairs, and minibar; a large sitting room with sofa, two easy chairs, two tables and a chair, and a chest-of-drawers; a good-sized bathroom with combined tub and shower, double wash basins, and many amenities; and a commode in a separate room (a civilized touch). In addition, five French doors opened onto a wrap-around balcony, the longer side of which offered splendid views of the Avenue de la Opéra.
The staff was friendly and helpful. And Edouard VII's location is ideal: a short walk to the Louvre, near two Metro stations (Opera and Pyramides), and close to fine restaurants and shops.
Newspapers (English, French, and German) are available, free, just outside the restaurant each morning.
The restaurant serves a fine, though not inexpensive, breakfast: croissants and several kinds of bread, eggs, bacon and other meats, and more.
The dinner menu is limited but the food is good -- I had lamb done to perfection -- and includes an extensive wine menu.
