This picture shows the bathroom door on the left, the wardrobe with minibar and coffee facilities and a large hanging space with ironing board. If you have to work on your laptop, you should probably not go for a corner room or make sure to get a room with lounge access. I assume it was because of the location of the room as the wifi was impeccable everywhere else in the hotel. One thing worth noting is that I had issues with the wifi inside my room. Next to the desk was a reading corner with an armchair and a small side table. The desk chair was the right height and comfortable. The TV had French, German and English channels as well as various news channels in other languages. Opposite the bed was a desk with two sockets and two USB ports that also connect to the TV. The bed was a kingsize and very comfortable. I loved the Paris inspired design with an Eiffel Tower, the hotel roof and the grand salon on the wallpaper.
With two windows the room was very bright. My room was a corner Executive Room on the second floor. I was an hour early but still able to get access to a room. Next to the check in area is this gorgeous fireplace with armchairs.
Here is a press photo as an iPhone cannot really do it justice: I was impressed by the building and its majestic entrance hall. I took the RER from Gare du Nord which is just one stop away and takes about 4 minutes – no point getting stuck in traffic taking a taxi. Saint-Lazare railway station is right outside the hotel with trains that take you anywhere in Paris. The Hilton Paris Opera is, as the name suggests, very close to the opera – although not as close as the InterContinental which directly overlooks it – and therefore the major department stores. Today the Hilton Paris Opera has 268 rooms including 29 suites, a gym and an executive lounge as well as a number of bars and restaurants. Amazingly, Hilton had been without a single hotel in the centre of Paris – if you exclude the business hotel at La Defense – for a number of years. $50 million has been invested to renovate the hotel bringing it back to its former glory. To accomodate visitors from all over the world, the Hotel Terminus with its 500 rooms opened in the exact building that is today home to the Hilton Paris Opera.įrom 1974 until 2014 the hotel was part of the Concorde group until the hotel was branded as a Hilton. In 1889 Paris was hosting the Exposition Universelle.
Head for Points paid for my Eurostar return ticket. The Hilton Paris Opera invited me for a two night stay including breakfast to find out more about this property which opened as a Hilton hotel in January 2015. For various reasons my last trip had not worked out well and I had found ways of avoiding Paris for over a decade. This is my review of the newly refurbished Hilton Paris Opera hotel.Īfter 13 years it was time for me to pay Paris another visit.
