LES
JARDINS DU TROCADERO (****L): Lying in the
shadow of the Trocadéro Palace and the Eiffel We must say that the Jardins du Trocadéro is attractive, indeed: and therefore dedicated to success. This is the contrary of a standardized soulless hotel: each detail has been created to please the guest, with no accounting restriction. Period furniture alternate with museum paintings. Don’t claim if a chair is rickety: the cabinetmaker who designed it died at least two centuries ago… The cozy bar and the smart reception area boast stonewalls. The corridors are decorated with guiding muses painted by art-school students. The 20 rooms (5 of which are junior suites) are most tastefully displayed, and very well lit. We like very much the corner rooms, they are not more luxurious nor larger than the other ones, but make you feel like in the sky: with a breathtaking view on the Eiffel Tower, the Passy hill and the Trocadéro Palace (simply ask any number finishing with a 0): wonderful for a first visit to Paris, or for honeymoon. The suites are large, with a wider Jacuzzi than in the other rooms. Air-conditioning, minibar, safe, Satellite TV, VCR, IDD telephone, complimentary WiFi and ritzy marble bathrooms with a Jacuzzi are a standard in the hotel. Warm, anticipating service. Great concierge: very efficient for last minute restaurant or concert reservation, and even offering free exclusive invitations to private high-fashion shows! Fine buffet-breakfast in a romantic lounge. Room-service and reception rooms. Attractive rates, starting from approximately EUR 129 for a Standard Room. Don’t hesitate to inquire with the hotel before booking: there are lots of money saving special offers (up to 50% effective discount!)all the year on demand. Car park, taxi and metro station (Trocadéro) are just right the corner. You dislike
the standardized Hilton or the Sofitel? You hesitate before big spending
in a palace hotel? You will love Les Jardins du Trocadéro.
