The following are hotels that I have visited in the
7th arrondissement (a charming village, noted for its shopping street
rue Cler). As always, if you want a larger than normal Parisian
hotel room, take a triple.
Latour-Maubourg (3 stars)
150 rue de Grenelle 75007 Paris (+33)1 47 05 16 16
Metro Latour-Maubourg
This hotel right across
from the Invalides; rooms with view available; individually controlled
air conditioning; free access to ADSL in the breakfast room that opens
onto the "luscious and green interior court yard".
Latour-Maubourg has large
rooms by Parisian standards
Valadon – if you make a reservation,
please use this link
16 rue Valadon 75007
Metro: Ecole Militaire
The hotel is owned by the
same people as Latour-Maubourg
this is
smaller, different design interior than Latour-Maubourg, but more affordable perhaps;
air conditioned.
Fridge for
guests downstairs so you can shop on rue Cler and store your things. Be
sure
read the happy guest reviews!
Hotel Relais Bosquet (3 stars) – if you
make a reservation, please use this link
Very charming
– special rates on special dates (I will list them after normal rate)

kettle, coffee, tea, tea cups, in every room – nice size rooms by
Parisian standards.

you look at Hotel Relais
Bosquet's website they also have a studio to rent)
Hotel du Cadran
10 rue du
Champ de Mars 75007 Paris (they have a good map of the area)
They classify
themselves as a "boutique hotel" very charming

their website for special promotions between July and August.
Hotel Muguet

Hotel du Champ de Mars
(extremely charming reception area and charming owner at the front desk)

The rooms are small and clean, but apparently the prices
Grand Hotel l’Eveque (check out their location map)

to find out when rooms are available
29 rue Cler
75007 Paris (shopping street, cheese, bistros, grocery, charming
pedestrian street)
The advantage
for looking at their website is the color coded "Availability" link. I
was not able to see a room when I visited their hotel.
Outside the
rue Cler area but in a great 7th location:
Recommended by
a reader:
Hotel de l'Académie Deluxe -- Saint Germain-des-Prés
32, rue des
Saint-Pères 75007
"Located
in the heart of historical Paris", the hotel is the former house of the
De Rohan Duke; has air conditioning, ADSL and WiFi connection, etc. Some
rooms have a private balcony.
Hotel Duquesne Eiffel
23, avenue
Duquesne 75007
The hotel is
completely air conditioned. The closest metro stop is École Militaire.
For more information about the area read about Splendid Hotel Tour
Eiffel since it is in the same neighborhood.
Hôtel Splendid Tour Eiffel
I have found
the perfect hotel where you can lie in bed and look out your window at
the Eiffel tower. Don't tell anyone!
I went
looking for spring flowers near the Eiffel Tower, got off the bus one
stop too early and found a treasure
instead. How often can you lie in bed and look out through the French
doors that lead to a 2 foot by 6 foot balcony at the Eiffel Tower?
The hotel
describes itself as being in one of the most beautiful areas of the
capital; two steps away from the Eiffel Tower, the Invalides Napolean's
grave, Rodin museum, Orsay, etc.
This hotel has 48
rooms including junior suites; each is equipped with satellite television, mini bar,
safe, telephone, hair dryer, and supplementary WiFi. Four rooms have a
direct view. The side rooms have an Eiffel Tower view if you step out onto
the small “balcony” (about 2 feet x 4 feet) as well as either an Invalides
view or view of the military school .
Room sizes vary and the one with the best view is the largest (large by
normal Paris hotel standards). Three people can stay in this particular room
which has a double bed and a sofa bed. Since there is no charge for the
third person and if you are lucky enough to have a reservation sufficiently
made in advance, this junior suite is a good bet.
Room 607 is a junior suite (up to three people) that looks out at the Eiffel
Tower and is roof top level (mansardée). Room 507 is a junior suite,
is the largest room and has the best view. Rooms 307 and 207 also have a
direct view and are called double superior.
If you have seen the Flat Iron building in New York you know that the sides
wedge out. That is what happens with the Hotel Splendid. This affords every
room in the hotel with an indirect view. The best side view is the Invalides
side that lights up magnificently at night.
In speaking with one of the hotel representatives, she asked that requests
for upgrades and better rooms be made at the time of booking.
High season is considered to be May, June, September and October. Low season
is July, August, January and February. The others are a toss up.
In the vicinity is
a grocery store, a couple of banks, the post office, at least three
brasseries, metro (Ecole Militaire, line 8) and two buses.
You may
see this hotel on other websites, but
click on my link for up to date, renovated interiors.
As always reserve and book through my link to
Splendid Hotel and I will receive a small commission. You are charged
the normal hotel rates.
