Has anyone been there? Or does anyone know anything about it? I'm going in August. What should I expect?

Business associates stayed there.Similar to other Marriott's in that attractive hotel,many amenities,alot of business travellers.Same people said that Hotel Scribe is more luxurious,more character and prefer it.I think about the same $.That's all I know.

Well, I've been by it, it's in a prime spot on the Champs-Elysees (not that I would want to stay there, good for business travelers). Extensive renovation of a beautiful older building, although I've heard the interior is entirely modern and has very good service and amenities.

Thanks for the advice. Doing this on points as a business traveler. Last time I was in Paris, I stayed in the Latin Quarter, so this will be different. Just wondering if anyone has had experience there -- or near there?

I stayed there on points in January and was not dissappointed. It is the only Hotel on the Champs Elysees. The lobby is very nice. The staff is great the concierge knowledgeable. It is not your run of the mill marriott. <BR> <BR>Marriott Rewards treats you very well and the reservations and vouchers come in a timely fashion. If the hotel was not so expensive ($585 USD for summer) I would probably stay there again. There are a lot of business travelers but many of them have their families with them for a once in a lifetime experience.

Kathy, Last week I stayed at the Francois 1er on the rue Magellan (just off the Champs Elysees..nearest metro George V). The hotel is part of the Summit group. Lovely, small hotel (40 rooms) with friendly staff. I had reserved a single room for 1900 FF and when I arrived they upgraded me to an executive suite (3000 FF) for the same price! It is on a very quiet street, just a stone's throw from the Champs Elysees. Tel no: 33.1.47.23.44.04.

Stayed at Marriott the last week of April 2001 also on rewards points. The hotel is very "american" geared toward business people. Excellent restaurant but pricey. Rooms are exactly like the Marriott rooms in any large US city. Very clean, large by European standards, the hotel very nicely decorated. Very helpful staff. Hagen Das across the street!!! Wouldn't pay the actual $$ but great for free!!
