Sofitel's"my bed" product
by tattud_gurlThe metro station is a 5 minute walk and there's a pharmacy, small grocery store and many restaurants within a 1KM radius.
The Sofitel has 134 rooms and is very quiet. The small lobby and lobby bar are truly parisienne. Marble floors, fresh flowers and Louis XIV style furniture takes you back in time.
This is mainly a business-type hotel, but I think it's perfect for leisure because it's quiet and not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle.
We had room 217 which is a totally futuristic room. One touchscreen remote controls everything from the lights, to the tv. My favorite part of the room is the sliding wooden doors that close off ALL light from the window/french doors. The doors open up the the street below and there's a tiny ledge to stand on and a window basket full of red flowers.
The bathroom had a separate tub and enclosed shower with a rainforest showerhead, surround sound and a tv in the mirror!
The room also includes a 42 inch flatscreen TV, aromatherpy products, fluffy robes, slippers, and a safe in the closet. This is a really cool room. I got the best sleep of my life on thier "My Bed" product which has a down mattress pad and down comforter. WONDERFUL! I don't know if all the rooms have that bed, but this was awesome. The room had a chaise lounge and a desk with internet.
They have a daily breakfast buffet, but at 29.00Euro for scrambled eggs and toast, it's a little too rich for my blood, but with really nothing else around, (all the restaurants around are not open for breakfast) you are kind of at thier mercy. the Champs Elysees is a short walk and there's plenty to grub on, there.
The lobby bar, Le Windsor is a great place to catch a nightcap and listen to the piano. There are a couple comfy couches and a mahogany bar.
Wonderful, quiet location off the busy streets of the Champs Elysees.
