Default Paris Hotel

Anyone got recommendation for a Paris Hotel.

2 nights in september. Would like to be "in the centre" i.e. easy to walk to the tourist spots

Happy to pay £100->£200 i guess.

Would prefer a nice quality informal place rather than anything overly pretentious.

Ta

I am about to book a 3 night break in Paris for next month, staying in a 4 star hotel (not that that means bugger all), going on the eurostar works out at £285 per person, sits on the Champs Elysées. Seems pretty good to me

Hotel is called, Marignan-Elysées Sofitel Demeure - got my price from www.bridge-travel.co.uk

all the best

Probably not much help but last time i went i slept in the car in an underground car park not far from the Champs Elysee. It was heated, well lit, and even had soft music piped in - quite nice really.

Swindon to Paris and back in 23 hours, including going up the Eiffel Tower, having a meal and some beers, and loading up with duty free on the way home. Top road trip!

We stayed in Montmatre. There are nice quiet places to stay, but you are only a stones throw from the Moulin Rouge and red light district

Others may not agree but I found Paris to be a lot less expensive than London for many things, including hotels and taxis. You can actually afford to get into a taxi in Paris! If you are paying £100 - £200 per night then you should get a nice hotel. I have stayed in nice, if basic, places for £60 per night that I would probably have paid at least £150 for in London at full rate.

To be honest a weekend in Paris is less expensive for me than a weekend in London.

I prefer the latin quarter myself, just down from the cathedral notre dame. Walking distance from the lovely art galleries and boutiques of st germain, and great nightlife and restaurants etc.
