Taxi from CDG to Paris Hotel

We will need to transfer from CDG on a Tuesday in June, about 10 a.m. We are going to the Hotel France Albion in the 9th, 11 rue Notre Dame de Lorette, 75009. Does anyone know how long it would take and the cost of a taxi for 2 people and 3 bags? Is this the best way to transfer without lots of stops?

Taxi would be (and is) my choice. From CDG to that address expect 50 minutes en route and the fare to be from 45€ to 55€. The driver can add 2€ to the fare for your 2nd and 3rd pieces of luggage placed in the trunk.

Do not accept rides from clandestine drivers soliciting from within the terminal. Proceed to the taxi queue but steps from the customs exits. If you want to pay by credit card, most taxis will now accept them but clarify your intentions in advance. You may want to write the hotel name and address on a piece of paper and hand it to the driver to preclude any confusion.

robjoe - have you looked at the location page on your hotel's website?

http://www.albion-paris-hotel.com/pages/location.html

lots of suggestions there.

personally, i would get the RER B to gare due nord then get the 43 bus, or a cab from there. the fare will be just under €10 each, and probably faster than a cab [though you may have quite a walk from exiting customs to the RER station, it's probably the same for a cab].

if you don't feel like doing that, a compromise is to get a cab to the hotel, and use public transport on the return leg when you feel more comfortable with the system.

the time of the ride and the cost depend a GREAT DEAL on the traffic.
Don't be surprised if it is different than suggested above.

At 10h00, I should be very surprised if it varied from that which is suggested above.

A very reasonable/realistic price estimate is 45-55 euros.

What Sarastro indicated is very realistic unless there is some "perturbation" along the route, which does happen from time to time, but not something to worry about. At 10 am, rush hour traffic has died down and the going is pretty easy on the périférique. Get in line and get a Taxi Parisien and expect to pay around 50+ euros.
