Has anyone stayed at this 4* hotel? It's primarily good-sized rooms and suites, and and the moment there's a very good price (around 230&euro for September in the Special Offers section. It's on the Champs-Elysée at Avenue Montaigne. It's a sister hotel of the La Pérouse in Nice and the Royal St-Honoré in Paris, among others.

No, but we just booked it (great rates all inclusinve!)for 4 nights in July - I'll post about it then if you're still interested.

Please do--thanks.

As promised Underhill - we just returned last night from our 19 day trip to France - a wonderful vacation which ended with 4 nights at the Residence du Roy. This hotel was a perfect way for us to end our journey. My family (four of us (2 children)had been staying throughout France in a studio apartment and a suite in Provence. Our expectations for Paris was small rooms - we had booked a junior suite so we thought that would give us a little bit more room.

Upon check in the hotel clerk casually mentioned she gave us an upgrade (I thought she meant the junior suite at the reduced rate price we had booked.) She said no we are giving you a duplex.
What a treat!
The duplex (modern decor) was HUGE! We had on the first floor a living area with TV and AC that led off to the 30' x 8' (no lie) balcony overlooking the Grand Palais rooftop. A full bedroom with bathroom. Lots and lots of closet space. There was a spiral staircase leading to the upstairs bedroom with two twin beds, TV, AC and another very large bathroom for the boys. We were all very happy to have so much space. The hotel was spotless and the staff was very nice.

The breakfast which was included was not so great but it was enough to get us going in the morning.

The location was super - easy walks to the Seine, the 6th, 7th, the Eiffel, Champs Elysee. Not too much directly around the hotel but that was kind of nice to have the quiet street (a one way) and peaceful strolls all during the day.

I asked the staff why such great rates and the front desk clerk mentioned that there had been a manager that drastically slashed prices (who is being replaced) and prices are going to increase especially after January. (We are returning to Paris in April with two other families and wanted to book the 6th floor (where the 3 duplexes are) for the week.

Decor wise the hotel was pretty basic - what it lacked in ambiance it made up for in space space space!

We took a chance and booked the hotel withthe special offer and we very pleased with it. We all had plenty of room to stretch out and find our own space - and after traveling for two weeks together it was very nice indeed.

Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

Sounds like a good place to base for a week. Did your duplex have a refrigerator and any cooking facilities?

The duplex had a mini fridge in each bedroom which we loaded with our drinks and perishables. The duplex also had an attached small kitchenette that was accessible to the room but only unlocked if you paid the 40 extra euros a night for it. It had a cooktop, bigger fridge microwave (I couldn't see if it had an oven.) We didn't need it since we weren't planning any cooking - but once outside the balcony we noticed that the kitchen window was left open and if we REALLY wanted it we could have easily crawled through the window into the kitchenette...we weren't moved to do so though.
