One of the tricky parts about finding a hotel in Paris is that you truly have tons of options. Boutique hotels are plentiful and you can find something suitable in any price range. This was my second visit to Paris and I brought my mom for a "bucket list" trip. I wanted an area that would appeal to us both, along with being close to popular landmarks. So, if you're not set on a particular hotel, you may find it easier to figure out which neighborhood/arrondissement appeals to you most...then, narrow down your hotel. It worked for us, and, I must say--Hotel Square Louvois was a terrific choice!
The hotel is centrally located in the 2nd arrondissement and is a 10 minute walk to the Louvre...12 minutes to the Seine River...20 minutes to Champs-Elysees. Wonderful bistros and shopping can be found nearby, in addition to several metro stations, which was super convenient. Although a fairly busy area during the day, it was very quiet in the evening. Of note, the hotel is new, chic, ultra cozy and didn't "break the bank" thanks to the online promotion I found (ahhhh, I I love when that all comes together in my accommodations :-).
The rooms are a good size by European standards, with modern furnishings. Plus, the bathrooms are well appointed with tub and shower. They also have a "spa like" pool in the basement and modest exercise room nearby for the basics. Breakfast is available in the morning (for a fee, approx €20), but there is an afternoon tea time, from 4-6pm, which is included with your stay and provides a nice selection of sweets.
Honestly, it would be hard to go wrong with this hotel choice in fabulous Paris and I highly recommend! The reason for 5 stars is due to the hotel staff, who were absolutely amazing, from the front desk with Laurie Anne and Lindsay...to the Concierge, Management and Kitchen staff! They helped make our stay easy, breezy, which is want you want on vacation, right? Happy Travels!!!
