BRACH PARIS

"Really disappointing second experience at Brach Paris. We were given a disabled room which meant the toilet and shower were in the same weird wet style room, so your feet get wet going to the toilet... The bed was super low and extremely uncomfortable - we slept badly for 2 nights and went home exhausted because of this. The welcome as you enter the hotel in non existent, they barely look up from their phone or. laptop - it's actually quite. bizarre - same at the reception desk on the 1st floor. The staff seem in general inexperienced and very junior, which means they do not know or have not been trained how to speak to guests of a five star hotel. If you don't want to eat brunch on Sunday there also also nowhere in the hotel just to enjoy a quick coffee or snack, you are forced to pay for an entire brunch experience that you do not want. Top tip - better stay at Hotel Costes where, as a hotel guest, you are always welcome in the restaurant any time of day and it's the same price as Brach and much closer to the centre."

"Over the last two years prices have gone up a lot. We have been at Brach 6 times in the last three years . This time we were given an awfully small room for 900 euros a night. Very disappointing. We will not come back"

"Brach Paris is a hidden GEM that I absolutely want to keep for myself. I spent 5 nights there in August and it was EXTRAORDINARY. This tiny 5 star hotel of glass and steel in a quiet residential neighborhood of white limestone apartment buildings is a total surprise of all things wonderful. Every day the staff is our front hosing and sweeping the street and front entry. Inside the beautiful midcentury modern decor of wood tones and funky art is a great departure from the typical Paris stay. The team of young employees never stopped striving to exceed my expectations and their complete professionalism and warm engaging attitude was so special that I really want to come back soon and stay a much longer time. My suite was an indulgent APARTMENT with a hot tub that had a view of the Eiffel Tower. WOW! Books and artwork and hand picked furnishings made it feel like it was a home. A perfect bed, grand bathroom, stylish living and dining room, and the unbelievable terrace with hot tub were all so inviting that I loved coming back there every day. The attention to detail was everywhere. It did not end there. The outdoor restaurant and bar off the intimate living room like lobby was delicious. Breakfast pastries OMG. Handmade chocolate with the hotel facade 3D embossed. And if you're willing to climb a ladder, actually a very steep iron staircase, there's a secret rooftop garden and bar that's so cool, so chill, and that Eiffel Tower view again. But wait, there's more. Down below you will find perhaps the best gym and pool setup in any city hotel. The gym they call a Sports Club because it has a huge amount of equipment and lots of gym classes. This is a gym to be a member of, not just a hotel fitness room. Spa stuff, how about sauna, steam, and I fell in love with the salt room. I'd never been in a salt room before and now I'm a convert. I'm not done yet. How bout a 22 meter pool, that's like 75 feet, and I kid you not the biggest hot tub I have ever been in. I took a spin class (if you don't know what that is look it up) where they put the bikes into the pool so you had the tension of pedaling against water. When you start to sweat just dunk your head. Everything about this place is great. Can you tell it's my new favorite place? This hotel, the Brach Paris and their staff were so terrific, so wonderful, I really can't wait to go back soon."
