Review of Balmoral Champs Elysées 4*

After arriving to Paris completely exhausted from a delayed flight, discovering Hotel Balmoral completely turned my day around. It's a personification of Parisian elegance: from the typical Haussmann facade to the interior design featuring works of art and little details carefully designed with your comfort in mind. Behind door 55 I discovered a spacious suite bigger than my Manhattan apartment. The living space is perfect for lounging with plenty of sitting areas, flat scre…en TV, mini bar and Nespresso machine. The bathroom featured two sinks and a bathtub, and the room a nice walk-in closet. What impressed me the most was the bed: King size, luxury soft linen, comfy mattress and a mountain of fluffy pillows that made me feel like I was sleeping on clouds. The breakfast is delicious. An assortment of French pastries, meat cuts and cheeses, jams, eggs, sausage, crepes, fresh fruit, yogurt… you name it! The best thing is you can have it delivered to your room until 11:30 at no extra charge and enjoy a nice view from your charming balcony. When you're all set for a day of exploring, the location is just perfect, close to the Arc de Triomphe, leading the way into the famous Champs Elysées, a mere 100m away. The Eiffel Tower is a pleasant 30 min stroll down south, or even less if you take advantage of the free bikes. Last but not least, the service is what makes your stay at Hotel Balmoral feel like home. Every morning I looked forward to catching up with Anthony who was in charge of breakfast, while the front desk staff saw me off with a smile and asked about my day upon my return. Having been to Paris more than 20 times, I think I finally found my home-base.
