La Clef Louvre is a great hotel -- and for us, it was a breath of fresh air in comparison to what we started with earlier in the week. ||We had been staying at another Paris hotel for a week-long business visit...but - oy. I won't sully this review with the details from Hotel #1, except to say that we finally got to the point that we needed to repack and search for another location on the fly. ||La Clef Louvre had an opening though, and bailed us out. Very lucky for us!||We would definitely stay here again, and will be recommending La Clef Louvre to our business associates. The hotel highlights:||--Beautiful room: well appointed, clean, and spacious enough to have a meal, do some work...and relax. We were on the seventh (top) floor and can recommend this, especially in the cooler months - our room had lovely skylights and a window by the table so we could catch the breeze while we worked. Good lighting, closet space, & plenty of outlets to plug in our traveling office. ||--Friendly service: Quick & efficient front desk. When we ran into a minor issue (room safe malfunction), the maintenance man was fast to respond, helpful, and graciously kind.||--Stellar location: The hotel is literally steps away from the Louvre & Tuileries Garden, plus very close to Galeries Lafayette, Notre Dame, Centre Pompidou, Rue de Rivoli & Le Marais neighborhood, etc. And yet...despite being close to central Parisian 'action,' it was really quiet at night. Good soundproofing on the windows, plus just far enough down a narrower side-street to tamper noise from the crowds.||If you're looking for a solid base for exploring Paris - this is it.
