“Amazing Location - near Musee Louvre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

My teen daughter and I took an amazing trip to Paris this summer (my review is six months overdue)

What we loved:
- boutique style hotel - our room even had a patio and we enjoyed lounging outdoors
- large bathroom, (I imagine each room might be different, however)
- great staff! Multi-lingual, even helped us 'tune up' our French
- location ++! so close to metro, cafes, markets, park, Louvre (literally a block away!)
- Seemed very safe in a busy metro area (e.g., returning from Euro Disney very late one night; it was so late the front doors were locked upon our return, very appreciative of staff to manage guest safety)

Additional thoughts:
- we took a taxi from CDG (approx. 50EU) getting back to CDG the staff arranged for same cost
- we did not try the hotel food, we left early and stayed out late many nights
- can't say enough about the amazing location :)

“Good stay for a business trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

L'Empire Paris was a stylish, clean yet appropriately priced hotel in central Paris. The location is great, near the Louvre therefore within walking distance to many parts of central Paris. Close to the Chatalet-LesHalles metro which has several train options including the RER.

The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. Decorated in modern style with an eye to the classical. Excellent lighting which is often over looked in hotel rooms. The WiFi was included in the rate but was spotty at times; a little frustrating. Breakfast was simple and fresh offing both hot and cold options.

Definitely worth considering for business or personal travel, a nice boutique hotel

“Outstanding location, lovely hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013 via mobile

Just visited with my daughter and although originally hard to find the hotel couldn't have been more perfect. Right across the street from the louvre. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel is very new and chic and our room was surprisingly big, we even had a balcony. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was nice and big. My only small complaint was that the breakfast was over priced but alternatives were easy to find.

“perfect stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

We stayed here 3 nights directly after New Years. I would highly recommend it and would definitely consider staying again!
Excellent location right by the Louvre - easily walkable to all of the main sites in Paris.
Staff were always helpful, nothing was a problem for them and their english impeccable.
Good size room for a 3 day stay - ours had access to a nice courtyard which would be awesome in the summer.
Bar in the hotel was always open when we got home in the evening for a nightcap.
Lots of great restaurant choices in the nearby streets, including the street that the hotel is in and its a short walk to the Latin quarter for the cheaper eating options. I'd particularly recommend Carpe Diem just down the road from the hotel.

Overall we had a great experience at L'Empire and would recommend to others.

Room Tip: We stayed in room 111 - this was in a purple and black room with king bed and opening to the courtya...

“Brilliant Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights over the New Year. Even before we arrived the hotel staff were extremely helpful with recommending local restaurants and making bookings on our behalf. From the moment we walked in the front door to the time we left all the staff were exceptionally pleasant, efficient and helpful. Positioned in an excellent location to visit most of the main tourist sites. The hotel has a modern feel with large rooms by comparison with a lot of other Parisian hotels. This hotel is special and good value.
