Cr�me de la cr�me!
This place is quite simply one of the most outstanding hotels in Paris. Having stayed at numerous "Hotels Parisiennes", I must admit that this tops them all. The staff are both friendly and efficient; Zaine, the hotel receptionist, has an excellent sense of humour, and great understanding of French pre-revoution history. The bar is cheap as chips; just ask the barman [also Zaine] to slip you a few "boissons gratuits" for an excellent night! Situated ideally close to one of Paris's best attractions, the Arc de Triomphe, the Hotel Royal Elys�e is 100% top notch. Food, service, and member of staff are all great!
