HOTEL MADELEINE HAUSSMANN, Paris

The hotel sits on a quiet street in one of Paris's most prestigious and safe districts, yet it is within a 5-minute walk of Madeleine Metro station (lines 8, 12, 14) and Saint-Lazare train station (550 m). Many major attractions are reachable on foot: the Louvre and Tuileries Gardens (450 m), Place de la Concorde, Opéra Garnier, and Galeries Lafayette (all within 10-16 minutes). From Charles de Gaulle Airport, take RER B to Gare du Nord then Metro line 4 to Madeleine; from Orly, take Metro line 14 directly to Madeleine. The area is packed with shops (Champs-Élysées, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré), restaurants (within 0.5 km), and cafés, making car-free exploration easy. Walking to the Louvre takes about 22 minutes.

The rooms are designed in a Haussmann aesthetic with mouldings, parquet flooring, and exposed fireplaces, combined with fresh colours and metro-style bathroom tiles. The Classic room (12 m2) is compact and best for single or short business stays. The Superior room (16 m2) offers more space and a choice of shower or bathtub. The Duplex room (sleeps 4) features two levels with a double bed and twin beds, one bathroom, and a Nespresso machine with bathrobes and slippers. Some rooms include a balcony with city views. All rooms have a mini bar, a kettle (SMEG or Nespresso), and a private bathroom with Nuxe products; road-facing rooms can be noisy, while inner courtyard rooms are quieter. Some rooms have a fire escape window rather than a standard window. Soundproofing varies, and rooms near the elevator may experience operational noise. The hotel offers one pair of connecting rooms and a few first-floor rooms for easier access.

Breakfast is a buffet featuring hot items (eggs, sausages), a selection of cheeses and cold cuts, fresh breads, pastries, yogurt, fruit salad, cereals, and hot/cold drinks. It costs 18 EUR per person. The hotel can accommodate gluten-free bread if notified in advance. There is no restaurant on site, but the hotel bar is open daily 12:00-23:00, offering French beers, wines, champagne, cocktails, and snacks. For other meals, the surrounding area has numerous restaurants within a 5-minute walk. The breakfast room is small, and the single staff member may lead to slower service during peak times. Pastries and coffee are also available in the lobby free of charge.

The lobby has two small lounges that can be used for relaxing, reading, working, or playing board games (available on request). The bar provides a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks in a calm setting. For outdoor leisure, Parc Monceau and the Champs-Élysées gardens are within walking distance.

Wi-Fi is free throughout. The 24-hour front desk offers multilingual staff, express check-in/out, and can arrange cab bookings and restaurant recommendations. Luggage storage is free before check-in and after check-out. Daily housekeeping is included; additional services such as laundry / dry cleaning are available at an extra charge. A safety deposit box is available, and the property has CCTV and smoke alarms. The elevator serves all floors. Babysitting and child services are possible for a fee. The hotel does not have a shuttle; the nearest parking is at Madeleine Tronchet. Guests can borrow a fridge from reception if needed; TVs accept HDMI connections for streaming devices.
