Hotel Balzac Paris is in the heart of the City of Light. Parisian-chic design, a vibrant color palette and soft lighting drape this property—part of the LVX collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts—in warm elegance, setting the tone for an exceptional experience. Built for the director of the Paris Opera in 1853, this deluxe townhouse-style boutique hums with the French art de vivre, serving as a plush sanctuary for rest and relaxation and a central headquarters for your Parisian holiday. Honoré de Balzac, the prolific and influential writer for whom the hotel is named, once made his home on the site, and collections of antique books and lithographs depicting the author and scenes from his work adorn the property. 13 suites and 57 rooms marry opulent details like oak-floored entrances and marble bathrooms to state-of-the-art technology, including LCD televisions, cable and internet access. Romantic skyline views of the exquisite Eiffel Tower from the third floor up are available by special request.

The experience was beyond amazing. We stayed at Balzac for 4 days. We had two rooms , superior room and the junior suite. Everything was wonderful. Cleanness 10/10 service 10/10 staff 10/10 super friendly and helpful specially Mr. Jhihad at the reception with his great attitude and energy. The location was perfectly situated in a quiet and prestigious street in the heart of champs elysees 20 seconds walk to all the shops and restaurants. So very much recommended this place we were here with my family and kids. This hotel is also pet friendly and the ambiance is mesmerising. I have to add this that we had to postpone our trip for two days because i had fever, without any penalty or any discussion they helped us find another day to change our trip. This review is coming from a very strongly picky family :) you won’t regret your stay here.

Recently returned for a second stay at this recently renovated Paris hotel and was once again impressed. The moody, dimly lit interiors offer a sense of calm, while the rooms are beautifully designed, spacious, elegant, with balconies and luxurious bed linen. Rooms are well equipped, beds are super comfortable, and the staff are truly exceptional: enthusiastic, and always eager to assist. A flawless experience from start to finish and I not easily satisfied. Cannot wait to be back!

This hotel is a gem with its incredible staff being its greatest asset. The location is more than convenient as it’s located just off the Champ and near the George V Metro stop, providing easy access to all of Paris. I highly encourage the water taxi along the Siene for sight-seeing - easily accessible near the Eiffel. The rooms are attractive and nicely appointed with great towels. The bar features unique and delicious cocktails, although they come at the hefty price of more than €20, so be prepared. Our only true disappointment came in the breakfast, an amenity for which we had in part selected the hotel. When and if it arrived at the table it was truly delicious, but the long wait times and general chaos, made it impossible for our tight schedule. I hope that they can work things out in the kitchen. For me, then, it would be 5 stars. Still highly recommend, but be advised of the shortcomings. One last word of advice - the restaurants recommended by the Concierge had wonderful atmosphere but not so delicious food and all had very high price tags. We did much better on our own and found some great places with incredible food with bonus of being in most cases half the price. I’ve reviewed a few if you’re interested to see.

- Beautiful hotel, Jihad and Patrick are the best concierges and so helpful, will get anything arranged in Paris - from last minute dinner bookings to private tours of Louvre and other galleries, collecting Amazon packages - they are really 2 great assets for the hotel - Rooms very comfortable and will appointed but no power sockets to charge multiple devices (I still don't get why hotels don't think of this) - have to unplug the lamp to charge my phone by the bedside, 1 bottle of complimentary filtered water per day -- again water should just be complimentary in hotels like this, as much as you want, whenever you want! House keeping wasn't great - sorry to state by the house keeper had very strong BO and we found shattered pieces of glass in our room! Should not happen at a Relais and Chetau / 5 star property - Breakfast is a complete joke -- they gave up their lobby to a restaurant, so breakfast is served in a lounge area with too few seats for hotel guests and sitting on a couch to eat breakfast is just not easy. Waited 50 mins on day 1 to get a basic European breakfast -- again if you are running a 5 star establishment and know that most people are going to have breakfast before heading out, need to staff up. There were just 2 waiters serving about 20 guests and they are helter skelter like this is the first time doing breakfast service in their life Overall a great hotel but needs work on the softer dining, housekeeping efforts which will make it a great hotel.
