convenent hotels for staying at DCG airpot in Paris
For some reason it was difficult for me to figure out which hotels at Charles de Gaulle airport are IN the terminal and which are CLOSE and would need a shuttle trip.
The HIlton and the Ibis and the Novotel are all at terminal 3. (Well, 100 yards from terminal 3.) The Sheraton is at terminal 2, right next to the TGV and RER station. . So, if you are coming into CDG via train (which is very likely), the Sheraton is the winner in terms of convenience. In addition, most US flights seem to go from 2, so being at the Sheraton is convenient for that as well. There is a airport train (the CDGVAL) that transports you from one terminal to another. We stayed at the Hilton and took the train from 3 to 2 for our flight, and it was no big deal. the HIlton cost $160.

We stayed at the Citizen M, a modern, Euro-hip hotel to which we easily walked from Gare du Lyon, under a weather-protected walkway, and back to CDG for departure next day. Everything in the room is controlled by your iPad, the shades, TV, lights. Not for a long stay, but well thought amenities and conveniences. Set up well for the techno-traveller (who isn't), docking stations are everywhere -- in the bar, lounges, where mingling is encouraged with eating and drinking. Wish we had more here in the States.

If you <b>must</b> stay at the airport (this excludes probably 95% of overseas visitors who come from Paris and not the from the TGV lines that go to CDG), just about any hotel in the CDG area has a free shuttle to the terminals, so you don't actually have to be in a hotel sitting on top of the terminal. Yes, I do also understand that it is a requirement for some people's peace of mind. ;-)

We fly Turkish Airlines to Paris for the consistently lower prices. Unfortunately our flight always lands at 10:30 at night, too late to go to an apartment. We have stayed at the Ibis several times, convenient from Terminal 1, usually around $85.

The easiest hotels to reach from the RER would be the Ibis, Ibis Styles, or Novotel which are right at CDG 1 or Roissypôl. They would also be the easiest hotels to reach for those departing from Terminals 1 or 3.
Within walking distance from Terminal 3 (Roissypôl) are CitizenM, Hilton, and the Pullman. Each of these hotels also run shuttles if you like, precluding the need to take the CDGVAL free rail shuttle to the Terminals.
The Sheraton is in Terminal 2 and not far from the CDG 2 RER stop. If departing from Terminal 2, the Sheraton is very convenient but any of the above hotels would not be farther away than 15 minutes taking the CDGVAL.
