Fantastic as i have come to expect from Melia!!! Clean and very classy, right beside the Ritz on Rue Cambon!! All of the highest end designers nearby and a short walk to Place Concorde. Will be back for sure. The 28 Euro price for breakfast was exorbitant for what you get but you're in Paris so get used to it!!

Yes, you are smack in the middle of a lot major tourist sites: Place de la Concorde, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Tuileries Garden, and a short walk to the Champs Elysee. The Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Notre Dame are walkable (but a little far). Hey Paris is big, you can't be near everything.

The service here was good, and quickly resolved some billing issues that we had, while being quite pleasant. The rooms are clean and generous, although it seemed our room was scheduled to be cleaned a little later in the afternoon.

My only real complaint is the neighborhood dining, catering to upscale shoppers and tourists, the restaurants and cafes are generally expensive with mediocre food. We found ourselves on treks to Marais, the Latin Quarter, and the 6th arrondissement to find places with better/cheaper food, and less of a homogenous feel.

If you're in Paris to see the sights, this is the place. If you're there for gastronomic adventure, you might want to consider another neighborhood.
