La Reserve Paris Hotel and Spa

Unfortunately, this hotel did not meet the standards I would expect from a five-star property paying almost 2000 euros per night. Several aspects of the stay were disappointing. The room had multiple issues, such as a broken towel holder in the bathroom that keep falling and only one phone charging point on one side of the bed, even though the room was booked for two people. This made it quite inconvenient. The Wi-Fi was quite slow as well, the ceilings in the room were low, and the furniture felt a bit old and outdated. Additionally, there was a persistent unpleasant smell in the room, reminiscent of musty clothes. Despite airing it out by opening the windows, the smell did not go away. The spa, which we were looking forward to using, was also underwhelming and appeared a bit outdated. To make matters worse, I had an unpleasant experience in the steam room: while lying down, part of my body got burned due to excessive heat. This should never happen. I frequently use steam rooms and have never experienced anything like this before. It seems the facility is not up to the standards of modern, safe steam rooms. We had a particularly unpleasant experience at the Le Pagode de Cos restaurant. During dinner, a family seated at the table next to us began fighting loudly, which quickly escalated into a physical altercation. Several objects were broken near our table during the incident. Afterward, the staff started cleaning up behind us using hoovers and other noisy equipment, all while we were trying to finish our meal just a couple of meters away. What made the situation worse was the inconsistent treatment by the staff. While they offered apologies and even gifts to another nearby table, we - despite being just as close to the disruption - received no acknowledgment or attempt to address the inconvenience we experienced. This felt highly unprofessional and unfair, especially considering the premium price we paid for what was supposed to be a refined, luxurious dining experience.

It was a quick in and out one night visit to Paris. This hotel is beautiful, well situated in the city, the staff is friendly and helpful, the iconic furnishings are elegant and comfortable. The food was beautifully presented and tasted great. I will certainly book here again. It was an amazing last night in Paris.

Before I arrived I stayed at a Disney hotel as I had taken my child there for a few days. I was so relieved to get to la reserve and know right away I was in a proper hotel with top class service and amenities. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with professionalism and politeness. The staff could not do enough to ensure my family were taken care of. After being taken to our room we were greeted by our butler and given some lovely arrival gifts like chocolate and champagne. This was a lovely touch. A huge bathroom with a separate room for toilet. I loved the Japanese toilet and tv in the bath. For the turn down service the staff would set you up for the night adding so many small touches like mats beside the bed and tea on your cabinet. The staff overheard me say we need to get nappies and they went to get them for us. These are the fine differences which set these small handful of luxury hotels apart. Only once have I ever had detail like this and it was in the Middle East. I doubt anyone else offers the same standard of service in Paris. The room offered a small balcony which overlooked the street and grand palace. It was a nice location away from the crowds. They also do a house car service which is nice when available. Breakfast was nice as was room service. One of the biggest selling points here is a 24 hour spa in central Paris. This is news to me and I have worked in luxury travel for some time. The fact I could take my child swimming at 10pm to tire him out for bed was really great. I hope to one day return.

I have stayed at the hotel both for business and pleasure and this last trip was with family and a young granddaughter. The staff treat everyone as if you are family and cannot do enough to ensure your stay is so very special. When your granddaughter asks how soon can she go back it says it all. I have stayed in a number of 5* hotels in Paris but this one beats them all.

Visited the hotel on couple of occasions in the past for coffee and absolutely loved the property so we decided to stay there this time round . I am at a loss for words how spectacular our stay was . We came right after the olympics ended so Paris and the hotel were practically empty , we basically had it all to ourselves. Service , rooms , food , welcome , housekeeping, location and that amazing garden …what an experience. At times it may be that service feels a lot more personalized when they’re not as busy but i very much doubt that applies to this hotel . We travel a lot and have stayed at a number of the best properties in the world , La Reserve is definitely right up there and possibly competing for the top spot . We will surely be back soon .
