Caron de Beaumarchais enchants...

Posted by Paul from Des Moines, IA on 9/9/06

My wife and I stayed at the Caron de Beaumarchais for our 20 year wedding anniversary last week. We could not have been more pleased. The Beaumarchais is a lovely, quaint hotel with beautifully appointed rooms, excellent, courteous and always attentive staff and a GREAT location. We had a frontside room with a balcony that was beautiful. I keep hearing about small Parisian hotel rooms and frankly don't get it. Yes, the room was small compared to our room at the Bellagio (Las Vegas) but I'd take the Beaumarchais room in a heartbeat over the impersonal, sterile, cookie-cutter American hotel experience. The courtyard rooms don't have a window to the street, (the window opens to a very small courtyard) but the one I peeked my head into looked just fine as well. We can't say enough good things about this lovely hotel and its wonderful staff.

Cozy and Charming Hotel

My husband and I spent the week of Christmas 2005 at Hotel Caron De Beaumarchais. We chose it because it was a Fodor's Choice in my older edition of Fodor's Paris and because of the positive reviews that we read on this site as well as on tripadvisor.com. We reserved a front room, and were extremely pleased. Since we have stayed in Paris as well as other foreign countries before, we were prepared for a small room. The room that we spent the week in was better than we had expected. (But do not get me wrong; it was not huge.) The location was perfect. We were able to walk to the Louvre and Notre Dame. My only criticism was the towels and bathrobes need to replaced; they were a bit worn. The hotel was charming. Every evening when we returned the fireplace was going. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful in the mornings, so much so that we only ordered one breakfast for the two of us with two coffees. (One breakfast consisted of fresh orange juice, coffee or tea, a plain croissant, a chocolate croissant, a baguette, jams, cheese, yogurt, and pate.) Also, the hotel staff were all very helpful. Some staff members were more fluent in English than others, but we were able to communicate just fine. Since the hotel is so small, only 19 rooms, we felt that we received a lot of personal attention. There was one particular employee, Fabian, that we connected with, and she called and made our dinner reservations each night, recommended shopping, recommended restaurants, and most of all she made us feel comfortable and welcome in a foreign country. We can not say enough about the Hotel Caron De Beaumarchais. Enjoy!
