We loved staying at the Castille for our first trip to Paris! For tourists, it's conveniently located to all of the sites, and we were able to walk almost every where. It's in a very bougie part of town, and situated next to the flagship Chanel shop, so it kind of felt like being in the middle of Rodeo Dr. Not really a plus for me (I spend my money on food, wine, and body lotion, not clothes, shoes, and bags), but it's fun to see the creative window displays.
The room was small (by American standards) but perfect for the two of us. The bathroom was luxe and made me feel like a queen. We had beautiful views of Parisian rooftops, we had free wifi, and the bed felt heavenly after a long day of exploring.
The concierge really made it though, and I'm so glad we chose Paris as the place to splurge on a hotel instead of staying at an Airbnb like we did the rest of our trip. One woman who worked there was so pleasant and so knowledgable about vegan cuisine, that she was able to offer recommendations for a vegan-friendly restaurant that I hadn't even heard of, and I had done my research! She made and adjusted reservations for us, was very thorough, and truly made our trip just perfect.
There are pitchers of fruit infused water in the lobby, and a super cute gray cat who just hangs about like a boss. Normally, the Castille would've been too expensive for us, but we found an online deal for almost 30% off per night, so definitely shop around.
While on my next trip, I think I'd want to be closer to the younger side of town (more vegan options without needing to hop in a cab or walk a half hour, hehe), this really was perfect for us first timers.
