Picking a Vacation Hotel in Paris

by Timothy Rea

Wherever your Paris vacation takes you, there’s a hotel to match your needs, your style and your budget. Your perfect hotel is a click away.

Have a plan in your head when choosing your vacation hotel in Paris. Do you want a hotel or a motel? The average price for a two or three star hotel in Paris is $80-100. Two or three stars will get you a decent room and amenities like a swimming pool or a complimentary breakfast. If you stay at a pricier hotel, you’ll have more amenities. Make a list beforehand detailing what is important to you, your family and/or your business associates. Amenities that may be important include a business center, dry cleaning, internet access, a pool, recreation for your family and a place to work out. If traveling with children, you’ll be grateful to know ahead of time if there’s a game room and a pool so that you can enjoy your time off and have some breathing space once you are there.

Utilize the virtual tours available for your vacation hotel room in Paris. Span the 360 degree view and see what your bed looks like. Get a sample view of bathroom size and a balcony view. Can you fiesta on that balcony or just stand carefully? How close are you to the local attractions you want to see and do? Does your hotel take the liberty of adding gratuity to your final bill or will you need loose currency available to tip the bellboy? Do the staff members at the hotel speak English or will you be required to know some French?

If your vacation hotel in Paris is just going to be a place to leave your luggage and drop your head on a pillow, by all means pinch your pennies and get an average hotel. But if you’re looking for a vacation hotel that sums up your mental image of everything gorgeous and Parisian and you want your expectations filled, go with a four or five star hotel. They are more likely to have a spa, a better menu and an extremely attentive staff. The amenities available make the hotel itself a vacation without ever stepping outside.

Various Paris vacation hotels will offer a vacation package to make your holiday even more special. You can choose a bed-and-breakfast package, or a package that includes a picnic at the Eiffel Tower. Many places offer detailed maps, coupons for shopping in the local shops, roundtrip shuttle service to the airport and even a Cancan show! Get to hotel shopping! That well-deserved vacation is a click away.

Read the hotel reviews available on the various travel and vacation sites to figure out which place in Paris is right for you. Everybody likes to leave their two cents and have somebody value their opinion, so you’ll have a wealth of information. Look for reviews that match up with you: Traveling alone, traveling with a family, business travel, etc. Many travel sites also offer a professional review on vacation hotels so that you can take the word of a professional who knows, not just the word of a teenager who stayed in a youth hostel and thought the lodging rocked.

Last but not least, if you can’t go on vacation to the real Paris, take a cheater’s vacation and fiesta away in Las Vegas! Paris Las Vegas Hotel is in the heart of the Strip and has Parisian spa amenities and shopping. It also contains replicas of The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.

Wherever your Parisian vacation takes you, there’s a hotel to match your needs, your style and your budget. Your perfect hotel is a click away.
