Has anyone stayed here recently?

I'm curious about their new look . We have been staying in apts. for the last few years, but this was always our "go to" hotel if needed, and I noticed in their photos that they have a new, modern look. Somehow, I liked the old, more French look.

I just stayed there a couple of weeks ago, and the entrance/ lobby area in particular looks really different now; much more modern in a sort of weird retro way. They've been gradually changing the rooms, so our room wasn't that much different than our room last year.

I have to agree that I kind of preferred the old decor, but it's still very nice, and the rooms are <u>very</u> comfortable, the location perfect, and the staff very nice, so I'll continue to stay there when I can get a good price.

A lot of Paris hotels are doing that. I don't know why they all think a new modern look is what everyone wants. My favorite hotel did it also (but not quite as stark as some), but I've seen so many doing this.

I am really sad to hear about this--we've always loved the classic look of the Madison.

it' s not just Paris, but all of France. I've been looking at websites for hotels and even B adn B's in the south and the makeovers look identical. And...it's a hotel style that's spreading worldwide. I was in India a couple months ago and some hotels looked identical with this faux leather stuck to the wall headboard.

It appears to be the new, bland European look--really too bad. It makes everything look like a business-occupancy hotel instead of something warm and comforting.
