InterContinental Paris Le Grand

From the moment you enter, you are surrounded by the opulence of the Second Empire, but it’s backed by modern comfort and professional service. Ambiance and Dining The highlight for me was the Grand Lounge. Enjoying a welcome drink under the massive glass ceiling of La Verrière was a perfect introduction to the stay. Similarly, the ambiance at Café de la Paix is second to none; it’s a historic landmark for a reason, and the dining experience there felt truly special. Room Quality and Wellness The guest rooms are very comfortable, successfully blending classic French decor with the amenities you expect from a luxury brand. While the public spaces are grand, I found the fitness center to be surprisingly small for a property of this size. I didn't get to experience the spa on this trip, but given the quality of the rest of the facility, it’s on my list for next time. Location and Service The location next to the Opéra Garnier is unbeatable for walkability and safety in the 9th Arrondissement. Service was timely and above average in Europe. A definitive 5-star stay for those who appreciate traditional French luxury and world-class dining architecture.

Location is unbeatable, right across from the Opéra. Perfect for both sightseeing. The hotel is stunning, with classic Parisian elegance. Lobby and common areas feel grand and historic, yet everything is impeccably maintained. Room was clean, and thoughtfully designed, with a comfortable bed and excellent soundproofing. Service truly stood out. The staff were professional, warm, and attentive. While the hotel is on the pricier side, the level of comfort, service, and location more than justify the cost.

Went to sit in the "verriere" the main restaurant/bar which was busy due to a conference. We received NO SERVICE for 30 min. An overweight waitress passed us several times, waved and told us a collegue would take care of us,... but this took forever, and did not materialised until I had to really STOP one waiter. We mentioned that we we not impressed with the service, and asked to speak to the manager. Then a colleague (I don't believe this was the manager), came and reassured us, but you could see that he was not taking us very seriously. Very bad experience, rude and unexpected from the type of establishment this is. Typical French, sadly this is what the reputation is.

I was very happy with my stay here. The hotel certainly has a classic feel. It's very charming in places, maybe a little old-fashioned in others. But despite the classic feel, I found it very livable and comfortable. My room was small, but very well kept. Solid bed, very nice TV. Bathroom was modern and new. I had room service once and, while pricey, was very good and showed up quickly. All my experiences with the staff were flawless. And the neighborhood is great. Scenic, safe, easy to walk to much of what Paris has to offer. I would definitely stay here again anytime.

Beautiful hotel. The hotel is stunning. We had a short 2 night stay early/ and used points. Check- in can be long - but grateful for a beautiful upgraded room. One of our favorite rooms we have stayed in from our many travels. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated with a huge bathroom. The staff were warm and friendly- but we found the service in the bar to be very very slow. The location is great - very close to the shops, Opera, metro. We also appreciate the wonderful anniversary/birthday goodies and treats! I’m framing the beautiful card from the staff - the cover of the card is of the Opera House. Thank you for making our stay very special bay your beautiful hotel!
