Paris
After flying into Charles deGaulle's Air France terminal and collecting my luggage, I didn't even have to clear customs or go through any kind of security. Just walked out the door and onto a very long taxi line. It was already after 7, but I figured I would still make it to the hotel in time to meet people for dinner by 8:30 like we had planned. Who knew there would be bumper to bumper rush hour traffic after 7:30. Didn't get to the hotel until after nine. Staying at the Le Meriden Etoile, a...

Ahhhhh Paris!
Our goal was to be up early and hit as many highlights as possible. Well, that strategy failed miserably. By 10am we were up and ready! We had purchased our Metro passes the day before, so we just hopped on the Metro to the Cite“ stop. We went right into Saint Chapelle. It is one of the most impressive examples of stained glass. The windows soar 60 feet into the air and all the windows together tell the entire story of the Bible.
From there we went to the Conciergerie where the prison...
Touch down in France
Since it has been quite a few years since my first visit to Paris I decided to spend the weekend on my own, exploring and spending my free time seeing what I stumbled on. I chose a pretty central hotel - it was a short walk to L'Arc de Triomph. Check out the hotel site: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/lemeridie n/property/overview/i ndex.html?propertyID=1919

Historical Traveler Reviews of Le Meridien Etoile - Champs Elysees Paris
Never ever going back
from A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed 4 night and payed for 3 and wish I never stayed there at all.
The 4 night costed 200 eur per room/night and it was not well spent money. On arrival you belive you have arrived to a luxury but no one will voulonteer to take your luggage and a 10 min waiting in line to checkin a la Mc Donalds style is expected. Got a room on the first floor and the traffic was noisy at a sat evening. The room had a bad smell and just didnt feel fresh at all. Decided to have a drink from the minibar and found that the prev. guest had left foodstuff/half a sandwish in the fridge and it was not cleaned out. We rang downstairs and sked for it to be cleaned up and headed for the bar. On arrival to the bar we were asked for a cover charge of eur 10 as it was a jazz club, tried to explain that we were hotel guests and just needed a drink and dint care abt the jazz but nono pay or go. Asked the conciegre if there was another hotel bar besides the jazzclub as I have never before been asked to pay just to get IN and have a drink but unfortunately the didnt. Remember this is only the first 15 min of a 4 day stay and it just kept going and going, fridge never kleaned up. The breakfast was 18 euro ! The managment of this hotel has a loooong way to go to get things strait.

Yes we would go back there
from A TripAdvisor Member
This hotel was in a great location right next to where the Ryanair bus from Beauvais airport lets you off. We arrived at about 11am and got checked in early - they also allowed us a late check out because the hotel wasn't too busy. The foyer and bar areas were luxurious but as a previous review mentions the rooms arent up to much, certainly the one we had. We did have to ask for the blankets and top covers to be changed because we felt they were a bit grubby. However I got this at a remarkable price from Priceline.com so the room was fine for the cost.
There was a wonderful jazz club downstairs which is on every night but beware the drinks are extortionate!!! I mean extortionate....however since we didn't spend a lot on meals out we splashed out and had a wonderful night there, meeting the band and chatting. The hotel has a great location next to the metro and with a shopping mall opposite. I would definitely use this hotel again.

Paris getting it right
from A TripAdvisor Member
we are just back from the most fun filled romantic break we have experienced. The hotel and staff were very kind and helpful the breakfast was a bit pricey though with so many restaurants and cafe near at hand this didn't ruin any of our plans. The shopping was great and the visit to the louvre was a ' must see'. we can also reccommend the air france bus for getting us to our hotel as it stopped right in front of it (and I really mean in front of the hotel)the only walking involved was crossing a tiny road and there you are. We purchased the tickets online for the bus, metro and museums before we went so we had no delays. brilliant system. give the duty free a miss - more variety and better value to be found in parisian shops with more helpful staff.
must return to this hotel again.

Don't stay here...
from A TripAdvisor Member
We arrived at the hotel at 10pm and wern't checked in until 11.30pm!
There were only eight people ahead of us to check in, but they were sooo slow, and the hotel lost lots of people's bookings so people didn't have rooms. One poor couple were put up in a sofa bed room which was tiny, so make sure you get a proper room when you finally get to check in!
I wouldn't advise you stay here, but it was only 10 minutes walk to the Champs Elysee, which is the only good thing about it.

Excellent!
from A TripAdvisor Member
My wife had never been to Paris and so booked her a surprise trip to show her this wonderful city. Through a travel deal were booked into this wonderful hotel. Location was perfect, staff were excellent, room and breakfast superb. We asked the Concierge to recommend us a traditional french restaurant for the sat night and it was spot on.
Wonderful food and non English speaking. A great experience. Loved it.
We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful time.

What a deal!
from A TripAdvisor Member
We also got this room on Priceline. When we arrived at the hotel, we were an hour before check-in and there weren't any rooms available, so we were upgraded. The room was huge by European standards, bathroom was great with a big tub, and the room service was great. The only complaint would be the wait time to check out and check in. We had a great stay at this hotel!
Nice hotel
from Parentsof2
We got a real good Priceline deal for this fancy Paris hotel. It is close to Arch de Triomphe and to the subway Ponte Malliot station. Very nice hotel and real fast room servce/attention. We would stay here again.
Would recommend!
from JenTexas
I used Priceline to find a hotel for my first trip to Paris and this was the hotel we got. We were VERY pleased at the service and cleanliness and we loved the hotel is right near an Underground tube so we had access to everything in the city from there. The Jazz bar is EXPENSIVE downstairs so be prepared, but everything else was great!
We'd definitely stay there again.

Great except the head waiter
from A TripAdvisor Member
Le meridien etoile, our second time around because of a convention at the palais de congres. Great location near the Metro. Small room but what would you expect of Paris hotels. We enjoyed our stay until our encounter with the or one of the waiters at the breakfast area.
Too expensive for what you get!
from A TripAdvisor Member
this hotel is very good locatd , when you step in it it looks like a very very luxury hotel but the luxury stays downstairs... the rooms are very very bad . very small beds , tinny bathroom with small towels..
over priced minibar .
i could hear every move of the couple that had fun in thr room above my room...
this hotel is way to expensice ( i payed over 400 euro).
the concord lafayete near there give a much better value !
