Sofitel Paris Arc De Triomphe

We stayed for two nights at Sofitel, in a Junior Suite. After checking in and going to our room, we were thrown off a little by the fact that the toilet was in a different 'room' to the bathroom itself, and after speaking with Naomi (who handled this graciously), we came to terms with this and it was only a slight inconvenience overall. The room itself is well appointed, with all the extras you require, and my husband even called in for a memory foam pillow which was provided right away. Not all hotels do this and so this was useful for someone who typically only uses memory foam pillows. The bathroom is very generous in size, and the shower pressure was probably the best i've experienced at a hotel - a perfect way to start the day. On our first day, while waiting for our room to be ready, we enjoyed a delicious and light lunch at les cocottes. Breakfast here was equally delicious. It was not extensive, but had everything we needed which was of a high quality, with the option of ordering hot food such as eggs (though the porridge was not cooked and very disappointing - the only negative experience). The staff at the hotel are all amazing. From the checking-in staff to concierge, to the doorman who would kindly greet you outside your taxi with a ready umbrella to shelter from the rain. The restaurant staff were also all great, but Milan (i hope i spelt that correctly) was exceptional. Probably the best staff we have come across - finding the perfect balance between being affable, warm and professional without overbearing. He was acutely aware of the details and refused to serve me an omelette which was not quite right, and noticed the issue with the porridge without us saying anything. Thank you for a great stay Sofitel, we hope to be back.

Our experience at this hotel was outstanding. The staff were excellent! So professional, attentive and helpful from the moment we arrived until our departure. The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel lives up to its commitment to sustainability. The restaurant and breakfast service was superb. And, the location is so close to so much of the iconic sites of Paris that one comes to see in the City of Light.

1. Spacious and Comfortable Rooms: The rooms at Sofitel Arc de Triomphe are quite large, well-appointed, and designed for comfort, ensuring a pleasant stay. 2. Lobby Area: The lobby is inviting and comfortable, offering plenty of seating options for quick drinks or some quiet reading. 3. Recent and Well-Maintained Gym Equipment: The gym equipment is recent and well-maintained, allowing for a decent workout. 4. Sound System: The Bose speaker in the rooms provides excellent sound quality, enhancing the overall experience. 5. Excellent Service: Service throughout the hotel was very good, adding to the overall positive experience. Cons: 1. Room Fittings: There are several areas where room fittings could be improved. For instance, there are no USB sockets to charge electronics, which is inconvenient for modern travelers. 2. Bose Speaker Connectivity: While the Bose speaker offers nice sound, it can only be connected via Bluetooth, limiting connectivity options. 3. Plastic Glasses in Bathroom: The plastic glasses in the bathroom look a bit cheap, detracting from the otherwise luxurious feel of the room. 4. No Desk in Room: Despite the comfort of the rooms, they do not offer a desk for work, which could be an issue for business travelers. 5. Misleading Hotel Name: The name of the hotel might be misleading as it is located an 8-minute walk away from the Arc de Triomphe, which could be disappointing for guests expecting a closer proximity to the monument. Conclusion: Sofitel Arc de Triomphe in Paris offers a generally comfortable and pleasant stay with spacious rooms, a welcoming lobby area, and excellent service throughout the hotel. However, there are a few areas that could use improvement, such as the lack of USB sockets, limited Bose speaker connectivity, and absence of a work desk in the rooms. The name of the hotel might also be somewhat misleading regarding its proximity to the Arc de Triomphe. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel provides a comfortable base for exploring Paris.
