What to expect: Although just five blocks from the bust shopping street of Boulevard Haussmann, Rue Bergère is a narrow, residential street. The concierge is close by the reception in the small hall. This leads to the large lobby, with mosaic floor in caramel, brown and white tones, and maroon chairs and sofas. Leisure travelers tend to dominate but business travelers also enjoy the location, close to financial and insurance headquarters, and the Stock Exchange. Amenity highlights: The hotel features a small courtyard garden, brimming with plants and wrought iron furniture, where guests can relax away from the bustle of central Paris. The conference room with natural daylight has a maximum capacity of 80 people and can be split into two separate rooms. It is situated on the ground floor. A lift, with views onto the courtyard garden, serves all five floors. Insider tip: To see an unblinking Madonna in cowboy gear, Naomi Cambell on the catwalk, French singer Serge Gainsbourg deep in conversation with author Ernest Hemingway, or the fixed grin of British prime minister Tony Blair, guests should visit waxwork museum Grévin, 100 meters from the hotel. |
