"I recently brought my daughter to Paris for a Mother/Daughter trip for her 10th Birthday - it was her first time to Europe, and an absolute dream trip for her (and I!). We chose Hotel du Louvre for its excellent reputation and incredible location.
I cannot even begin to express how absolutely AMAZING our experience was at the hotel. From before we even arrived until the moment we checked out - every interaction and detail was top notch.
Before arriving, I wrote to the hotel to let them know if would be my daughter's birthday in hopes there may be something we could do to make it extra special. We were totally blown away upon arrival with a surprise room upgrade (STUNNING suite!) gifts, balloons, cookies, wine, sparkling apple juice and a hand written "Happy Birthday" note from the hotel. My daughter was blown away, and kept commenting on how she wished every hotel was as lovely as Hotel du Louvre.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, smells divine, is perfectly appointed and well kept. Rooms are beautiful, full of light and airy. In room amenities are lovely and plentiful. Turn down service included chocolates every night...what felt like a blast from the past of old world true hospitality. It was a delight to come back to each night.
The hotel staff were not just friendly, but wonderfully kind, accommodating and thoughtful. It seemed that somehow everyone knew it was my daughter's birthday and they all wished her well when they would see her. It was so special. They helped her send a postcard back to her classroom in the states, and helped her make change every morning before we headed out for our day's adventures. The concierge made excellent restaurant recommendations and helped us with reservations. The cleaning staff were so kind and respectful. Wonderful bellman and reception staff. Just an incredible group all around!
The hotel's location cannot be beat. We were able to walk everywhere, wonderful cafes and shopping nearby and a taxi queue right across the street.
And of course...the food. Having Brasserie du Louvre in the hotel is such a treat. We regularly had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel and they were truly some of the best meals we had in Paris. By far, the best servers and wait staff we experienced in the city while we were there. Room Service was also prompt, and beautifully set up.
I truly cannot wait to return to Hotel du Louvre. It's the epitome of what everyone dreams of when they think of a luxurious trip to Paris. The hotel went out of their way to create an unforgettable experience for my daughter and I - making memories that will last a lifetime for us both."
