La Fantasie

"I booked a room months in advance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our first meeting, a very special occasion, and we were delighted with the hotel. From the charming doorman on arrival, the reception staff, the spa team and the delightful bar staff, the service was exceptional. The hotel is comfortably furnished and beautifully decorated. It is a real oasis of calm yet so conveniently located between the Gare du Nord, convenient for our train from London, and the Place de la Concorde. We made use of the stunning roof terrace and the spa facilities in the basement, all fantastic. The great advantage is that the ethos appears to be luxurious but understated and not at all brash. The room we had was simply beautiful, large and well equipped. The only niggle we had was with the music in the front bar, not only its volume but the choice of style. No music would be great. We look forward to our next visit."

"Really charming gem in the 9th. Very nice and helpful staff and cute interiors. While by no means on the inexpensive side, I do think it’s one of the better values in Paris if you want a little luxury & don’t want to shell out thousands/night for a super high end hotel. I actually prefer smaller boutique hotels in general, that’s all I’ve ever booked in Paris, I just find them super charming and sometimes offbeat. I booked via my Amex for extra perks/credit and we were able to be upgraded to a nice size room overlooking the garden. Very close to Gare du Nord for those coming by Eurostar and easy walk to metro and other areas. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

"Very beautiful hotel with lots of lovely amenities. Clean and quiet. Lots of places to eat surrounding the hotel as well as bakeries and traiteurs."
