Gare st Lazare
by sourbuggerThe Lobby, it has to be said, really blows your socks off. The sheer opulant luxury of the place with more mirrors, gold leaf, marble and crystal chandaliers per square metre than anywhere else i've ever been. According to the blurb it also has many leather fauteuils (but I don't know what they are...but hey, they sounds kinky)
It's worth just wandering up to the desk and enquiring about rates just to get a look at the place.
The receptionist let us have a look at a standard room. Whilst it was well presented and clean it was not exactly specaular. At nearly 300 euro a night I do expect hot and cold running chambermaids.
She also mentioned that a little bit of scouting around on the net should lead to you bagging a far more reasonable deal (i paraphrase her french slightly) than the standard rack rate.
Superb location.
