Don't normally like to recommend hotels etc because it can be subjective. However have a look at the Hotel de Vigny by the Arc de Triomphe/Champs-Elysees. Part of the Relais & Chateaux group which guarantees excellent food. Not cheap but ideal for a special occasion

I can't recommend a hotel, but can recommend an area - the Marais. Lots going on. I also recommend looking at the website davidlebovitz.com. He's a Paris based chef/baker and has a fantastic website with recipes, shopping, inc. a very good market in the 4th on Sunday, and restaurants.

Not for hotels, but some good restaurant recommendations on these threads. Last time we went we did a walking tour of the Marais district and it was good fun. If you go, definitely try Falafel Alley (if you like Falafel that is) and try some of the chocolate shops - Jacques Genin's shop is amazing to look at and the chocolate isn't half bad too...http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2008/12/jacques_genin_opens_in_paris.html

Hotel Tremoille is posh and worth every Euro. Quite an experience. Highly recommended.

Hotel Atlantis Saint Germain is a real find. Bargain price, great location, lovely hotel. I can't find its website but the reviews are here:

Many thanks for all the recommendations, will have a look.

It's just taken me ages to find this thread - thought I was going mad and then did a search and found it here in the lounge - spooky as I posted it in wanted, recommendations section!

Thanks again

the Marais is a great area to stay, if you want something fun and different(but not the cheapest) try Le Petit Molin...

It's fab and worth paying a bit more for... very theatrical and very Parisian

see the link below for more comments and info

happy trip!

try le hotel d,esmeralda - rue st-julien le pauvre,

its not the most modern of hotels, but it has character in abundance, with views of the seine and notre dame and its also more or less next door to another parisian institute - shakespeare and co. highly recommended.

And the bar downstairs hosts excellent soul/jazz/funk bands. Just be sure to soften your pronunciation of the 't' in chat when talking to the frogs. 'Le cha(t) noir' means 'the black cat' whilst 'Le ChaT noir' means something entirely different...uuufff.

    • Don't think there'll be much glee around today with what's happened in Poland and France 😕
    • Sounds a horrible, random attack, quite possibly for social media clicks, or some kind of sick initiation into goodness knows what - it is reported they were filming the incident. I do not really doubt that any of this is true. Perhaps the friend who reported it elsewhere does not want to be identifiable? There has been an emerging issue with different types of anti-social teenage/ young adult behaviour on the Rye this summer and this latest incident indicates a tipping point into something much nastier. The park should be a safe and enjoyable space for all.
