Romantic hotel

Looking for a beautiful romantic hotel in central Paris to stay for a long weekend next April for my 50th birthday. Any suggestions would be most welcome as this is our first trip to Paris. Mrs.B.

Maybe Hotel Du Louvre just across from the Louvre. TA reviews seem pretty positive. Our stay was a long time ago but it was plush and lovely. Probably not the best place to eat dinner from the reviews, but hey, you are right in central Paris, can walk to the glass pyramid at night and around the corner to the Palais Royale and its intimate little garden and galleries.

Of course you have to choose a wonderful restaurant too. We adored Guy Savoy though he is very expensive, about E600+ (depending on wine) a couple but such fun and such great food. However, he has connections to several other restaurants around Paris too. Go to the Guy Savoy website and then check out the other restaurants. We ate at Les Bouquinistes which was excellent.

My husband and I stayed in a lovely boutique hotel called Villa d%26#39;Estrees this past August. It had only about 10 guest rooms, but they are fairly large by Parisien standards and beautifully decorated. It is located right on the border between St. Germain des Pres and the Latin Quarter on a small cobblestone street called rue Git-le-Coeur.

It%26#39;s right near the Seine - about a 2 minute walk if that. There are restaurants and shops all around - perfect for strolling. The St. Michel metro stop is right there as well. The hotel was given a really good review in the Hedonists Guide to Paris where they rated it a 9 for style, 9 for atmosphere and 9 for location. Since I didn%26#39;t see any %26quot;10%26quot; ratings for any of the places reviewed, I%26#39;d say their score was excellent.

I think we paid around 235 euros per night in August, so it%26#39;s not budget but not too over the top either. Unfortunately we were only there one night when we returned from Italy and had to fly out the next morning. I would have liked to have stayed longer.

The website is www.villadestrees.com. Have a wonderful trip!

Took my wife for her 50th surprise to Paris. Stayed at the Hotel Nepoleon. Great hotel, great location. 4 Star. Half a block from the Arc and Champs. Family owned since 1924. J. Baker, O. Wells, and E. Flynn were frequent guests. 20%26#39;s 30%26#39;s and 40%26#39;s charm. Review their web site for specifics.

My experience is that %26quot;..romance..%26#39; is a commodity you either bring with you...or not. %26quot;..Romantic..%26#39; has as many different definitions as there are people who employ the term. A %26quot;..romantic hotel..%26#39; could be a quirky little 2-star garret...or an over-the-top Louis Quatorze suite at a Parisian %26#39;palace%26#39;.

Somewhere in between the two, check out a moderately priced (for a Parisian 4-star)--

HOTEL BRIGHTON (4-star)--218 rue de Rivoli (at rue d%26#39;Alger) 75001, Metro: ligne-#1-TUILERIES--

http://www.paris-hotel-brighton.com/en/home/

Request a Deluxe or Prestige category room with a balcony and view facing out across Jardin de Tuileries (just across the street).
