Le Meridien Etoile

We are currently staying at this hotel. I was very nervous because of some of the reviews. We are pleasantly surprised. Nice hotel with a great location. Staff has been excellent. My only complaint is the towel service in the room. I read this on other reviews and I am amazed it keeps happening. Every day housekeeping takes our towels- whether they are on the floor or hanging on the hook. Everyday they leave us 1 set of towels. Why in the world would housekeeping not leave 2 set of towels. I am currently experiencing my night ritual of waiting for housekeeping to deliver a second set of towels. This seems simple for management to figure out and not have repeated complaints.

As a Marriott Titanium Elite / Lifetime Platinum Elite Guest, I made a reservation for our family (husband / wife / two teenage daughters) using my Marriott Bonvoy points for a five (5) night stay at the Le Méridien Paris Arc De Triomphe as the first-leg of our month-long European summer vacation. The reservation was made approximately four (4) months prior to our arrival date in mid June 2025. Within hours after making the reservation, I emailed Mr. Federico Anedda, the Quality Manager, and advised him of our future stay as well as our special requests. Shortly thereafter, I received a thoughtful reply from Mr. Anedda and he readily granted all of our other special requests. The prompt response Mr. Anedda did not come as a surprise given how active the management of this property is in reading and promptly replying to past guests on Trip Advisor as well as the Marriott Bonvoy website, which is a clear sign of management’s commitment to exemplary customer service. See our thirty-two (32) pictures of the hotel attached to this review since a picture is worth one-thousand words. Not only is the hotel conveniently located within steps of the Porte Maillot (i.e. a station on Paris Métro Line 1, which is connected to the station Neuilly–Porte Maillot on the RER C and RER E, as well as a stop of tramway line T3b), but it is in easy walking distance to both the Champs-Elysées and the Arc De Triomphe (both less than 10 minutes) as well as the Eiffel Tower (25 minutes). We never took the metro and we walked absolutely everywhere for the five nights that we were in Paris, although the hotel was very well served by the metro, buses, trams and taxis as noted. In short, you cannot get a better situated hotel in Paris! Our initial visit to the Le Méridien Paris Arc De Triomphe did not disappoint! We were greeted in the lobby Mr. Anedda and the check-in process was a breeze. We enjoyed the complimentary sparking water in the lobby while we waited mere seconds to check-in, despite our early arrival of 9:30 am into our courtesy upgraded huge corner Senior Suite on the 8th floor. Further, upon entering our Senior Suite a few minutes after check-in, we discovered that Mr. Anedda and his team were kind enough to provide us with a thoughtful handwritten note welcoming our family to their hotel as well as a nice assortment of chocolates, nuts, juices for our daughters and a chilled bottle of rose for my wife. In addition, they provided us with a wide array of gifts for our family, including fanny packs, portable folding fans, red berets, travel diaries and a few other assorted gifts. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door and Sayma offered us additional snacks as well as several bottles of sparking mineral water and still mineral water as well as four (4) complimentary drink coupons for use at LM Bistro. What an incredible and delightful surprise on the part of Mr. Anedda and his team. We simply loved our Senior Suite, which was HUGE and very comfortable in terms of bedding, roll-away beds for our daughters and ample desks, tables and chairs for relaxing. The Senior Suite had two separate sleeping areas, two full bathrooms and two sets of closets, dressers and electronic safes. The housekeeping staff provided us with four (4) robes and slippers, extra towels, replenished bath products as necessary and provided several bottles of water daily. Further, the cleanliness of our Senior Suite was exemplary and for this we want to recognize the entire housekeeping staff. The complimentary Wi-Fi provided to us as Marriott Bonvoy elite guests was excellent throughout the entire hotel. As my Marriott Bonvoy elite amenity, our family enjoyed the humongous daily breakfast buffet in Espace Latitude, which was absolutely stunning since it offered both indoor and outdoor seating options. Espace Latitude has multiple seating options and it was an absolutely fantastic place to start the day ever morning! Now, onto a description of the food and drink offered during the breakfast buffet, which we attended all five mornings during our stay. The highlights of the breakfast buffet include the specialty coffee drinks, such as lattes and cappuccinos, hot chocolate and hot tea (excellent variety herbal and caffeinated teas), delicious orange, cranberry or apple juice, flavored water, various milks and nut milks. There was a nice variety of hot items each morning, including made-to-order omelettes, crepes and a wide selection of charcuterie (prosciutto, salami, mortadella, mozzarella, cheddar, manchego with dried cranberries, figs, apricots and strawberries), smoked salmon, crackers, oatmeal, bread, muffins, cereals, assorted yogurts and fresh fruit (oranges / apples / bananas / fresh cubed watermelon / fresh fruit salad). In short, the food and drink in the breakfast buffet was incredible and limitless! We also really enjoyed the spacious fully-equipped fitness center (which had an ample amount of free weights, cable machines as well as cardio machines) on the 8th floor, which had unlimited still and sparkling water, apples as well as an authentic Italian espresso machine for a jolt of espresso anytime. Immediately adjacent and through the fitness center was a huge outdoor deck with a clear, unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower. We, along with several other hotel guests in the know, made a nightly pilgrimage to this outdoor deck every evening to enjoy the illuminated Eiffel Tower just steps from our Senior Suite. How convenient. In an extraordinary display of graciousness and hospitality, Mr. Anedda called us daily to make sure that our stay was absolutely perfect and unexpectedly gifted us four (4) tickets (at 22 euros per ticket) to climb to the top of the Arc De Triomphe as well as four (4) tickets (at 17 euros per ticket) to enjoy a 60-minute guided boat tour along the Seine by Bateaux Parisiens. In all of our years of elite status with Marriott, we have never been outright gifted local attraction tickets and for this, we give Mr. Anedda our endless thanks. This incredible gesture on his part will remain with our family forever! The generosity and hospitality shown by Mr. Anedda and Sayma as well as the rest of Mr. Anedda's team throughout our stay was extraordinary. Every team member with whom we came in contact during our stay, including the individuals listed above, the helpful staff members at the reception desk and the other food & beverage staff as well as the house-keeping staff really went out of their way to make our family feel welcomed. Not surprisingly, the notable customer service that we received before and during our stay as well as the incredible accommodations in our Senior Suite, made this hotel a twelve out of ten in our book! If your travels take you to Paris, please don't hesitate to make this hotel your base of operations ... you won't be disappointed!

Excellent hotel in a great location. You are across the street from all the metro lines a very close walk to arc de triumph. The restaurant LM bistro is gourmet. Breakfast was also very good; the egg station is a little slow but the food is great.

My husband and I spent 10 nights here. Our room was clean and comfortable and serviced regularly. All of the staff we encountered—concierge, reception, breakfast, casual interaction—were great. Professional and helpful. Breakfast was great—tasty with many choices. Location is about a half mile from the Arc, but the immediate area was quieter while still having lots of restaurants.

Excellent location 3 mins walk from Line 1 metro which connects to everywhere around Paris easily. We were on 9th floor - rooms were quiet and beds comfortable. Excellent breakfast - huge choice. Friendly staff. Only downside is that there is no longer an executive lounge so if you booked the hotel for that reason you will be disappointed! As a platinum member you do get the choice of 1000 points or breakfast. It's a no brainer - go for the breakfast every time!
