“Great Paris location”

My daughter and I had a vacation of a lifetime in Paris largely due to location of this hotel. The hotel is almost dead center Paris and walking distance to most tourist attractions. I cannot walk and used a manual wheelchair while staying in Paris. The room had a huge roll in shower and a grab bar by the toilet which was adequate but could have been longer. Due to my handicapped condition I had to pay top dollar for the excutive room. My only other complaint would be several silverfish which made themslves known at night in the bathroom, however I have spotted a few in my own newly remodeled, clean bathroom so it's hard to fault the hotel. I would definately stay there again if given the chance.

“Paris 2011”

Our stay at the L'Empire was fantastic..the room was great, clean, spacious and comfortable. (superior room) Ipod dock in room. The bar was a great place to relax and have a drink and listen to good music. Simson, Tiego and Stephan were great bartenders and very friendly to talk to. The breakfast was wonderful, Sonya was my favorite, she even made me cammanille tea when I wasn't feeling well. Armon and the others were very knowledgeable of the area and the restaurants. I would highly recommend this hotel for your Paris visit. Nicely located in a great area and the metro is very close.

Area recommendations
All of Paris is recommended. Go down the little side streets and discover the small shops, cafes and restaurants. Shopping is great.

“Great Paris experience!”

We visited Paris for two nights during our honeymoon and had a great experience at this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and all spoke English exceptionally well. They answered all of our tourist questions and gave great information. The room was a little small, but that is expected in Europe. The bed was very comfortable and location was prime! We definitely would stay here again and recommend it to others traveling to Paris.

“Perfect Paris Hotel”

The hotel is upscale but affordable and room service! Even without those bonuses the location is perfect!! Right by the Louve and Notre Dame and stations right there to easily explore the city. You will not get a better location than this. When we returned from the Riviera they upgraded us to a beautiful sweet with a balcony, no extra charge! So posh!

Area recommendations
District 1. It's the center and most sites are within walking distance. The subway is easy to navigate so nothing is too far.
When to go
September, perfect weather and just a hair past the peak season so a little more affordable.

“L'Empire Paris exceeded our expectations!”

After reading other reviews, I was not expecting things to go smoothly at L'Empire Paris. Boy, was I wrong! This hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was much bigger than expected (other places we have stayed in Europe were much smaller). The staff at the reception desk were INCREDIBLE! There was absolutely no communication barrier - they got us exactly where we needed to be, gave excellent recommendations for sight-seeing and meals. Breakfast in the hotel was just what we needed to start our busy days and gave us a great sample of french cuisine. I can't say enough about the location. Two blocks from the Louvre! We took hop on/hop off tours that were based at the Louvre. I would recommend this location for any traveler that wants to be close to everything. We walked for miles, not realizing how far we were straying. Love the staff and love the hotel!

“Not impressed for a 4-star hotel. A 3-star is more reasonable based on US standards!”

This was my first experience staying in a French hotel as I have always lodged in an American hotel in Paris. There was an initial problem with my reservation that was, however, rapidly resolved upon calling Expedia and with the hotel manager. After this, and change of rooms because the first one had a missing mini bar with plumbing exposure, everything was fine. Overall, this is a nice small French hotel but it is overpriced since I do not consider it to be a 4-star hotel. I have lived in 3-star American hotels in Paris that were much nicer, in great locations, and cheaper than this one. Overall, I personally think it is overpriced!!!! Also, the rooms are very small.

Getting around
The Louvre, wax museum etc. are within walking distance to the hotel. If you need to go elsewhee the metro is the best mode of transportation as the station is adjacent to the hotel. The location of this hotel is perfect for public transportation but not for restaurants etc!!

“good location and friendly staff”

close to louvre, closest metro station is louvre-rivoli stop. we booked another hotel for part of our stay but decided to stay here whole time. Breakfast booked with room is bargain ($20 euros for two) but otherwise can get better deals elsewhere. They book your credit card up front for your whole stay but refund any differences. They do allow smoking in rooms; our rooms did not smell like smoke but at one point could smell smoke from an adjacent room. Bed soft and comfy (like Westin in US)-king size in Paris! but some evidence of wear in bathrooms, etc. Can hear some noise at times (other rooms, outside hotel) but never enough to keep us awake. Clientele of many nationalities were here, not many english channels. bar downstairs, good mojitos w/real mint!

Area recommendations
Louvre area for sights. Didnt try another location hotel.
Getting around
metro is really easy to use.
What to pack
it was really cold & windy in early march. pack warm coat, scarf, comfy boots or walking shoes and gloves!
