LION D'OR PARIS HOTEL, Paris

The hotel sits on a quiet street off rue de Rivoli, within a five-minute walk of the Louvre, Palais Royal, Place Vendôme, and the Opéra Garnier. Tuileries metro (Line 1) is 200-350 metres away, providing direct service to the Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, and La Défense; Pyramides station (Lines 7 and 14) is also nearby, giving direct rail to Orly airport via Line 14. A 20-minute walk reaches the Musée d'Orsay; the Eiffel Tower is 15-45 minutes by metro, bus, or taxi. Several bus lines (21, 27, 39, 68, 72, 80, 81, 95) and night buses N11/N24 serve the area, and Vélib' bike stations are around the corner. The neighbourhood is very safe, with abundant cafes, restaurants, and a Carrefour supermarket within 200 metres, making self-catering practical.

Room categories include compact doubles/twins (13-15 m2), superior doubles (14-15 m2), junior suites (20-26 m2), and studios/apartments with kitchenettes (21-26 m2) in the main hotel or an annex. Standard rooms offer a double bed or twin beds, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a desk, and a safe large enough for a laptop. Superior rooms add bathrobes, slippers, and welcome products. Some rooms have a mezzanine with extra sleeping space. The annex apartments include a kitchenette (microwave, hob, kettle, fridge, utensils) but require climbing four or five floors via narrow spiral stairs. The main building lift stops at the fourth floor only; top-floor rooms involve further stairs. Bathrooms are private with a walk-in shower, hairdryer, and toilet; single rooms have a separate toilet. Noise insulation between rooms can be limited, but the street is quiet. Some units have soundproofing. Carpeted floors are cleaned daily.

Breakfast costs €20 per adult and €7.50 for children over 11, served in a small room with a striking stone wall. The buffet includes hot drinks, fresh juices, cereals, cold meats, cheeses, eggs, pancakes, and a daily homemade cake. In-room breakfast can be ordered for any hour. The breakfast room also serves as a lounge with free Wi-Fi and a laptop for use during the day. Tasting boards for two people (veggie, avocado/salmon, avocado/chicken) with fresh smoothies are available for room service, though there is no full à-la-carte restaurant or bar on site. The surrounding streets are packed with cafes, bistros, and bakeries, but the hotel's own dining offerings are limited to these two options.

The hotel offers no spa, swimming pool, fitness centre, or any dedicated wellness amenities. The shared lounge / TV area and a laptop station provide a place to relax. The nearby Tuileries Garden and the Seine riverbanks are excellent for walks and jogging.

Daily housekeeping and ironing facilities are available. A paid shuttle service can be arranged.
