Hotel Splendide Royal Paris - Relais & Châteaux

Rhis amall hotel is.on.a.quiwt side street.mear the Elysee palace Everything is first tate from the quiet front room to the staff who are young, enthusiastic and attentive. This is not a bargain priced hotel BUT it is a bargain for the price.

My family and I loved this hotel and everything about it. It was my first trip to Paris and this hotel staff made it memorable. I thought I was in heaven. Absolutely lovely in every way possible.

I have been fortunate enough to have stayed at a lot of amazing large luxury hotels. However Hotel Splendide Royal is in it's own special category of excellence. It's a tiny hotel, only 12 rooms - 6 suites and 6 Jr. suites. But it is beautiful, warm, and surpringly roomy. The reception area is small and unadorned, but the people, the welcome, is the best you'll get anywhere. And attached to the little reception area is a large library/sitting room so you have a comfortable space to enjoy. Our room was a suite with a balcony and - take my breath away - stunning view of the Eiffel Tower. WOW!! Anyway, the room had a separate bedroom, coffee/tea bar and a mini fridge, a soft couch and comfortable chairs, a desk, and 1.5 bathrooms. The large bathroom (separate bath tub and shower) had a separate sitting area that's perfect for doing your make up and getting dressed. It was all so lovely and elegant decorated in calm and muted tones. Every morning and at night we sat on the balcony and either enjoyed a cup of coffee or stared at the Eiffel Tower. Now, about the breakfast, a definite yes and A+! The breakfast area (entrance is in the reception area) is large with soft padded seats and lots of big windows. I was surprised by it's size and yet it felt all warm and cozy. The food was delicious!! And, as was true with all the staff, the service was impeccable and everyone so very nice and personable. I laughed when after stuffing myself on eggs, bacon and a variety of fruits and bread, I was offered my choice of chocolate or white loaf cake. I declined both but still loved having that option. The location is good as it's close to transit stations and an easy walk to sights. It's also close to the President's palace so it's in a very safe area.
