Grand Hotel du Palais Royal

PRESTIGE SUITE 602 This exquisite hotel is in the perfect location. Next to the Palace Royal and extremely close to the Tulieries Gardens and the Louvre , walking distance to the Champs Élysées. Fun fact, Emily in Paris is filmed in the same plaza. Our Prestige Suite was incredibly well appointed with a walk in closet, separate bedroom (with balcony) nice marble bathroom (big soaking tub with a separate shower and excellent amenities) . The living room has a nice couch, desk etc, and a large round window (which swivels to open) allowing for incredible views. Actually there are gorgeous views from every room and of many monuments (inclusive of the Eiffel Tower) This is very quiet hotel, no ambient noise in our suite. It is extremely clean and everything is well taken care of. What stands out is the art on the walls of each floor, simply outstanding. Ensuite I truly loved the ability to make a cup of herbal tea at night and appreciated that the hotel seemed to think of everything. BUT there secret sauce is the staff. All exceptional. We’d suffered a loss to our family on our third night and I was devastated. While cancelling a dinner reservation at the hotel, Safara ( spelling?) came outside while I was crying in my husband’s arms with a Kleenex box and said how sorry everyone at the hotel was and how they’d do anything to alleviate my pain. Incredibly sweet. This was our seventh stay in Paris and our first at this luxurious establishment. We will now call it our Paris home.

Short stay here in adjoining rooms. I'm not going to nitpick on our choice of rooms (first floor, fairly dark) or price since we booked pretty last minute. Decor felt a bit tired, lots of yellows, dark carpeted room, ceiling not very high for Paris. We could hear some other rooms/hall noise at night. Bathrooms were good and well-designed (no water spraying everywhere like you often get in Paris). Beds were comfortable and the HVAC system worked well to keep the room comfortable. Not enough charging ports. Location obviously excellent, quiet side street near a very busy area, a few meters to the entrance to the 1 metro at the Louvre. Breakfast on the lower end for 5* Paris hotels, not much fruit available, pastries weren't great, weirdly a la carte eggs were included in our included breakfast, but pancakes/crepes were not (had room credits anyway, but it was weird). Scrambled eggs and omelettes were not good at all, almost tasted like US-style egg mix (sacre bleu!) Overall, didn't feel like it was up to the same level of other 5* non-Palace hotels, there are better options even within the HIlton/SLH ecosystem especially if you don't need to be right in the center of Paris.

There is no shortage of fine hotels in Paris, so when you find one that does everything well, with quintessential Parisian charm, pluperfect service, and location, location, location, there is no need to shop around. The Grand Hotel du Palais is a gem, with a drop dead roof-top terrace. The service is par excellent, and a special Hat Tip to Ms. Lola Neciri in guest services, who delighted in making our son's stay delightful.

What an excellent service overall, lovely stay at great hotel and made all the more special by your wonderful staff specially the concierge team, Rafael as always was so helpful and kind, brilliant guy to deal with. As for Francine, she was brilliant, nothing too much for her, very helpful and polite with all my daughter's requests!! And Lovely Lola was also very charming and friendly. Of course, also the rest of the team in reception and the breakfast staff. As for the location, its perfect for strolling to a lot of nearby sights Area around the hotel is very quiet, just what we wanted. Well done and thank you all, we will definitely be back again here.

We stayed for 5 nights at the Grand Hotel Du Palais Royal in November. The location was perfect - 100 feet to a Metro station and one short block to the Louvre. The room was on the small side like almost all the rooms in Paris, but it was certainly big enough for a couple. There are larger room options but we used Hilton points for this stay, so that usually guarantees the smallest room when they are sold out (like they were during our stay). The service was outstanding throughout the stay. We received very good restaurant recommendations from the Concierge. The breakfast was very nice. We are Hilton Diamond members so the breakfast was included. I would definitely recommend this very nice, boutique hotel in this perfect location.
