PARIS ― Hotel Plaza Elysees, a four-star hotel located in the heart of Paris, offers a pleasant and traditional Parisian ambience throughout the establishment.
Built in 1874, the hotel brings traditional and modern French architecture to life, with guests able to fully experience what France has to offer.
There are 41 rooms which are decorated similar to that of a traditional French apartment. Each room gives a distinct flavor as they have all been designed to slightly differ from one another, from the color of the linens to the wallpaper design.
In the six-story building, most of its rooms are equipped with private balconies.
The breakfast room on the first floor offers a great view on the Boulevard Haussmann as well as wide choices of French pastries, fruit and hot meals.
The hotel was made by remodeling a late 19th century building, and in August 2017, went through a major renovation to better suit modern stylish tastes.
From the hotel, customers can visit several key attractions by foot including the Arc de Triomphe, the alleys of the Parc Monceau, and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, as well as numerous galleries, boutiques and antique shops leading to the Champs-Elysees.
