Hotel Splendide Royal Paris - Relais & Châteaux

I have been fortunate enough to have stayed at a lot of amazing large luxury hotels. However Hotel Splendide Royal is in it's own special category of excellence. It's a tiny hotel, only 12 rooms - 6 suites and 6 Jr. suites. But it is beautiful, warm, and surpringly roomy. The reception area is small and unadorned, but the people, the welcome, is the best you'll get anywhere. And attached to the little reception area is a large library/sitting room so you have a comfortable space to enjoy. Our room was a suite with a balcony and - take my breath away - stunning view of the Eiffel Tower. WOW!! Anyway, the room had a separate bedroom, coffee/tea bar and a mini fridge, a soft couch and comfortable chairs, a desk, and 1.5 bathrooms. The large bathroom (separate bath tub and shower) had a separate sitting area that's perfect for doing your make up and getting dressed. It was all so lovely and elegant decorated in calm and muted tones. Every morning and at night we sat on the balcony and either enjoyed a cup of coffee or stared at the Eiffel Tower. Now, about the breakfast, a definite yes and A+! The breakfast area (entrance is in the reception area) is large with soft padded seats and lots of big windows. I was surprised by it's size and yet it felt all warm and cozy. The food was delicious!! And, as was true with all the staff, the service was impeccable and everyone so very nice and personable. I laughed when after stuffing myself on eggs, bacon and a variety of fruits and bread, I was offered my choice of chocolate or white loaf cake. I declined both but still loved having that option. The location is good as it's close to transit stations and an easy walk to sights. It's also close to the President's palace so it's in a very safe area.

My family and I occupied Rooms 201, 202, & 501 for 10 days. I personally felt like I was in heaven. All of us loved the Staff, the food, the cleanliness, the Decor, the neighborhood of our hotel. There was some construction like everywhere in Paris in anticipation of the 2024 Olympics, but the soundproofing of the windows was amazing as shown when opened. We were all sad to depart. I know I am ready to return. Marie in particular noted my sadness; she was so kind to give me her phone number so I could message or call for updates on Paris. This was my first trip and I loved it! Great Hotel!

We loved our stay at the Hotel Splendide Royal! It is a boutique hotel with 12 suites. The room was very well appointed and large for Paris hotel. The location in the 8th arr. couldn’t have been better. it is in a terrific area and the French President’s residence (Elysee Palace) is on the next block. There are so many fabulous restaurants within walking distance and, in fact, the Tosca restaurant is in the hotel. Staff was superb. You have the choice of breakfast in your room or in the Tosca restaurant. We opted for in room dining each morning. The hotel used to be the residence of Pierre Cardin. Very classic in style! Highly recommend!

We haven't stayed in the hotel, but we had a wonderful dinner in the Ristorante Tosca. ( by the way, I failed to find it in the TripAdvisor as an independent listing). Very tasty food and very well presented. We still remember how amusing were the amuse bouche, how tasty wwere the anatra and the sogliola. Whatever we were served have been a delight. The staff were very friendly polite and efficient. Thak you Feliche, and bravo to all of the staff.

I cannot rate this hotel highly enough. Our suite was very comfortable, the restaurant was very good and the staff and service exceptional. It was true value for money. We would certainly go back if we stay in Paris again. Very conveniently located within walking distance of all the major attractions.
