Hôtel Balzac Paris & Spa Ikoï

This hotel is a gem with its incredible staff being its greatest asset. The location is more than convenient as it’s located just off the Champ and near the George V Metro stop, providing easy access to all of Paris. I highly encourage the water taxi along the Siene for sight-seeing - easily accessible near the Eiffel. The rooms are attractive and nicely appointed with great towels. The bar features unique and delicious cocktails, although they come at the hefty price of more than €20, so be prepared. Our only true disappointment came in the breakfast, an amenity for which we had in part selected the hotel. When and if it arrived at the table it was truly delicious, but the long wait times and general chaos, made it impossible for our tight schedule. I hope that they can work things out in the kitchen. For me, then, it would be 5 stars. Still highly recommend, but be advised of the shortcomings. One last word of advice - the restaurants recommended by the Concierge had wonderful atmosphere but not so delicious food and all had very high price tags. We did much better on our own and found some great places with incredible food with bonus of being in most cases half the price. I’ve reviewed a few if you’re interested to see.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Balzac. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and the entire property is gorgeous. We were traveling for our honeymoon and the staff made us feel so special with a room upgrade and complimentary drinks at their beautiful bar. The location was great, and the property is very close to the Metro which made getting around Paris very easy. We also really enjoyed the digital guide they provided for restaurants and activities! The entire staff was friendly and our room was always serviced impeccably! I would recommend to anyone traveling to Paris! We can’t wait to visit the property again some day!

Dear Hotel Balzac Team, From the moment my son and I arrived early Thursday morning around 7:30 AM, we were made to feel like royalty in your beautiful hotel. The kindness, attentiveness, and thoughtful details extended to us throughout our stay far exceeded anything we could have hoped for — and made our time in Paris truly unforgettable. Our room was one of the most charming and elegant I’ve ever stayed in, with its grand windows, balconies, high ceilings, exquisite linens, and boutique touches throughout — from the luxurious bathtub amenities to the nightly turndown service. It was clear that every detail had been considered with care and hospitality in mind. Your team went above and beyond for us: helping with umbrellas on rainy days, remembering how I liked my coffee and stocking the room accordingly, offering impeccable breakfast service, and always greeting us with warmth and sincere hospitality. The hotel gym was also a wonderful bonus — I started every morning there and appreciated how clean and well-appointed it was. Most of all, I want to thank you for the way you helped make this a birthday trip my 11-year-old son will remember for the rest of his life. It was our special one-on-one getaway, and your staff played such a big role in making it magical. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Paris, we will absolutely stay again at Hotel Balzac. Please pass along my deepest thanks to every member of your incredible team. With heartfelt gratitude, Sarah Sands

The experience was beyond amazing. We stayed at Balzac for 4 days. We had two rooms , superior room and the junior suite. Everything was wonderful. Cleanness 10/10 service 10/10 staff 10/10 super friendly and helpful specially Mr. Jhihad at the reception with his great attitude and energy. The location was perfectly situated in a quiet and prestigious street in the heart of champs elysees 20 seconds walk to all the shops and restaurants. |So very much recommended this place we were here with my family and kids. This hotel is also pet friendly and the ambiance is mesmerising. I have to add this that we had to postpone our trip for two days because i had fever, without any penalty or any discussion they helped us find another day to change our trip. This review is coming from a very strongly picky family :) you won’t regret your stay here.

Recently returned for a second stay at this recently renovated Paris hotel and was once again impressed. The moody, dimly lit interiors offer a sense of calm, while the rooms are beautifully designed, spacious, elegant, with balconies and luxurious bed linen. Rooms are well equipped, beds are super comfortable, and the staff are truly exceptional: enthusiastic, and always eager to assist. A flawless experience from start to finish and I not easily satisfied. Cannot wait to be back!||

Had the best stay ever! Rooms are really nice and clean, beautiful view. Service is beyond great, everyone was extremely helpful and welcoming. Jihad and Patrick and one lady that unfortunately couldn’t remember her name, were amazing they recommended the best restaurants and were kind enough to do our Versailles and Seine river tours. The location is perfect. I definitely recommend it and will definitely stay there again!! Well done Balzac!

First time staying at Hotel Balzac. My usual “go to” hotels were booked. The hotel is lovely and I will definitely return. The staff is kind and pays a lot of attention to all the details. The hotel design is beautiful - a little masculine. Very well kept. The bar is small and intimate and the food and drinks were excellent.

Beautiful hotel, great hospitality and spacious room (and very quiet without too much noise from outside Paris life). We’ve had a terrible experience at one of our breakfasts and making it the reason for not giving 5 starts. Nevertheless , we would definitely recommend and come back as well.

I gave 2 stars because the service is great in the hotel. The problem is with the hotel itself. I have stayed in 5 star hotels in NYC and Chicago and this should be a 3-4 star max. -Walls are very thin here! You can hear your neighbors upstairs and to the side at any time, including squeaky beds (gross). -The shower would back up so we had to shut off mid shower, let it drain and continue -The bed isn't that comfy at all. -Location is great! -It's a pretty hotel. -Air conditioning doesn't work sometimes. -free wifi -no water -some rooms don't have an actual shower!!! There is nothing special about this hotel. Stay at another place, thin walls are important for sleep and privacy.We got engaged here, so this was a special time for us, too bad walls are thin and we couldn't get any sleep.
