Hôtel des Académies et des Arts

Excelent hotel, friendly staff, well located.

We had a nice time at this hotel. The staff was nice, the hotel itself was very beautiful. About a 30 min walk from the Notre Dame, 35 minutes from the Louvre. Convenient bus stops nearby to help get around. We also went to the skyscraper where you can see the Eiffel tower, which was about 10 minutes away. It was very quiet, which was exactly what we were looking for! I think the only thing not making it a 5 star review are the shower was a very deep bathtub where you sit and use a handheld shower as opposed to stand and shower. It was also nice to open the windows to ventilate, but when they were closed it was a little warm and they help block out noise.

Very helpful staff. Good cold buffet breakfast with hot scrambled and boiled eggs. Many eateries nearby. Close to Luxembourg Garden. Metro and bus stops within walking distance. Coincidentally, we stay at the hotel during fashion week in Paris. The rate we paid might be higher than usual. For that reason I don’t feel it was good value for money.

What a wonderful place to stay! An excellent location and the staff was so very friendly.
