Nolinski Paris

"No big lobby - just a gem of personal service and fantastic rooms at Avenue de l‘Opéra. Everything is in walking distance. Special."

"My husband and I absolutely loved the Nolinski. It is a small, beautiful hotel on Avenue de l'Opera in the first and a new area for us to explore in Paris. The first thing that struck us was the professional, but very warm and welcoming staff. Everyone we encountered was amazing and was so helpful and friendly. We arrived early from the USA and they were able to give us a lovely, large room upon arrival-we were expecting to store our bags a wander. Beautiful bathroom, with separate toilet room. Very comfortable bed and excellent bath and bed linens-and a great shower. We were their a week and never felt crowded in the room. Plus, housekeeping did a fantastic job. The room was spotless after they cleaned. Plus we always had some sort of fun treat! Our room was booked by one of their travel partners and breakfast included was one of the perks. Delicious croissants! We normally like to got to a patisserie, but thoroughly enjoyed eating in the hotel! We also enjoyed many cocktails in the bar. The bar is not your typical hotel bar in that it is small and intimate. Great cocktails. But is sometimes closed for private events. It was never too crowded. And we loved the bar tenders. So fun and informative. One night when it was cold and rainy we ended up eating in the bar and had some delicious bar food. We did not use the spa, but we did check it out and it looked and smelled wonderful. Another plus was that there were two generously sized elevators, so no problem with getting in one with all the luggage. I will end with saying again that the rooms were lovely, hotel beautiful, food delicious, great location, but the thing that stood out the most was the excellent staff. The service made the stay perfect!"

"We've always stayed at the Park Hyatt Place Vendome but they weren't taking points and Nolinski is half the price. In terms of lux/$, this 5 star hotel is worth the money. Plus the location near the Opera is actually more central for the Louvre, shopping and restaurants. For our family of 4, we got a regular room and a suite and actually prefer the regular room (it had great views and was actually roomier). The art deco interiors are tasteful but best of all the service was top notch. Instead of the usual chocolate, freebies included a herbal sleepaid, collagen powder, and madeleines (how Proustian!). When I needed to buy a suitcase (from all that shopping), they guided me to Monoprix (French Target) and saved me the $ and walk to Galleries Lafayette. The only request I have is a coffee machine or some place to get coffee on demand before 8am, which is the earliest Parisien cafes open."
