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.

    • That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.
    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
