• The greenhouse are of the lobby, lovely flower arrangements very fresh, good tea and coffee service, bar was cozy.
• Head Concierge purposefully sent us on a "wild goose chase giving an incorrect, but similar address to where we were really intended, cost $50 extra.

“I am sure the Saudi princes staying there were treated well, but we definitely detected a different level of treatment for us. Despite doorknob sign saying do not disturb, cleaning staff barged into our rooms and were angry with my 12 year old about needing to clean the room soon, even after they had awakened her from jet lag sleep. Honestly for $600 retail and $343 wholesale the room was small. it was quiet. and the bathroom was recently redone. The floor maid "escorted us down the hallway " each time we came and went, for unknown reasons, I suspect they were concerned about the mountains of luggage, with Saudi addresses which remained piled along the hallway outside the "princesses" rooms for three days.”

• Friendly staff, Upscale atmosphere, beautiful rooms, safe environment.
• Expensive Food, but this is Paris.

“The Grande Hotel was central to our first "Paris" experience. We definitely plan to come back again. Everything was top of the line. The staff was friendly. The room was beautiful and clean. The environment was safe. I can't wait to come back.”

• Convenient location with great connection to the airport (Roissybus).
• Mini bar prices.

“Excellent hotel with really great comfort and a very convenient location next to the Metro and bus station. The connection to the airport is perfect. The Roissybus starts at the airport, stops at the opera next to the hotel and the price is just 8,40 Euros.”

• No clock in the room, pay radio (ridiculous)!

“The hotel is beautiful. I am currently staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in Vienna and would have to say that it is one of the worst hotel experiences that I have ever had. I have had about 100 hotel stays this year alone and would rank this as my worst!”

• Location, services, staff, luxury.
• You get great value for what you pay for.

“This hotel was amazing, intercontinental has set the bar high for great chain hotels with the Le Grand. The location is convenient, one block to the metro, opera house, restaurants and exclusive shops all around. The room service was excellent, with multiple services including turn down, mini bar restocking, even slippers, perfume, robes to make your stay just that much better. The hotel has a business center and restaurants that are the place to be, cafe de la paix was always bustling with people. The rooms are very elegant, obviously they went all out with their renovation. Shower is nice, however it can easily spray to the floor with the shower head positioning and door style. The Conceierge was OK, not what i expected for a hotel of that caliber, didn't really get much there, but if you know what you want to do they will help direct you and tell you how to save money. One more thing, the hotel defintely caters to English speakers, with all main interactions available in English, including all of the room services and food menus. The hotel has 24 hour room service and a nice mini bar, just be aware that it is not cheap. Room service includes the staff setting up a table in your room with all the fixings, working to make it just like home. The room service breakfast is very customizable and has a lot of food, which aligns with the price tag. There is also a buffet, but we didn't try that out. All in all, experience in Paris and this hotel was awesome. I'd recommend it to my friends and family, and loyaly stay at an Intercontinental again. Enjoy!”

• Very nice rooms, good size, comfy bed, very classy.
• The restaurant was ridiculously expensive and the staff at the front desk was rude.

“Beautiful hotel. Not as many restaurants nearby as in other areas, but it was conveniently located, about a block from the metro. The restaurant in the hotel was too expensive to actually use, but was very good. The staff could have been friendlier, but the hotel's niceness made up for it. The shower could have been better, but the bed was soft and very comfy. And, the room was a nice size for Europe.”

• Very nice ambience. Courteous and friendly staff.
• Cleaning staff sometimes enters the room without proper knocking, even if the 'do not disturb sign' is on, which can be a bit embarrassing sometimes.

“Very nice rooms. Good ambience, courteous and friendly staff.”

• This hotels is beautiful and location is great for someone who is first time in Paris.
• This hotel was beautiful but our room was size of shoe box.

“Overall, I liked this hotel. It was beautiful, classy, sophisticated, location is very good. However, you need to be aware when you booking hotel in Paris, because you don't know what you're getting for your money. I paid $275 for night and my room was the size of shoebox. So tiny, I felt like I was invited to rich family member's house and let me sleep in their beautiful house in the attic. Our room was in the top floor of the hotel. Generally, in Paris as higher the floor, the smaller size of the rooms. I wish I knew that before or asked questions before booking.”

• Location, service, room. Everything is perfect.
• Finding a taxi during rush hour in front of the hotel is a pain. Shower partition leaks.

“Excellent location, impeccable service, beautiful remodeled rooms, comfortable bed, almost perfect! The French really have to learn one thing or two about shower curtains. Please no more of those half screen of useless glass panels that leak! (This didn't dampen our marvelous stay throughout though.) Number one choice for our Paris hotel from now on.”

• Location and public spaces.
• Cost of Breakfast.

“Great location and grand public rooms. Rooms were nicely done but a bit small. Eat breakfast elsewhere as the cost far outweighed the quality.”

• Fabulous decor, very professional staff.
• Internet access and room service were particularly overpriced, that's the only negative aspect I encountered.

“This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The hotel decor is glamorous, and perhaps ranks as one of the top 3 hotels in Paris (I visited many other 5-star hotels in the area, the Le Grande was by far my favorite).We were greeted professionally and were even upgraded to a more expensive room due to our Ambassador Club Gold membership with Intercontinental Hotels. ”

• Very courteous staff, takes excellent care of the guests.
• I wished it had a swimming pool AND a Jacuzzi tub, and I expected a little larger room

“Elegant hotel, fine furnishings, fine linens.
Great location. Wide staircase, in addition to the elevators) makes it grandiose.”

• Modern comfortable rooms
• staff was not too accommodating

“Beautiful grand modern hotel well located in Paris Opera District. The rooms were very comfortable, we had to upgrade since the room they offered was so small. And we had to pay additional for this.
As with all 5 stars, eating in the hotel was very expensive. Good fitness center and very helpful at the concierge desk.”

• Classic Grand old hotel, at an unbeatable location; we received an excellent price
• Food and beverage services are VASTLY overpriced, even for Paris.

“It is a beautiful great hotel, in the best possible location, well deserving its 5 star rating.”

“All in all, a very pleasant weekend in a great location but I would not rush to go back in view of the price paid. If I lived in the hallways or the lobby I would be happy, as they are gorgeous! ”

“The hotel was totally up to the 5-star standard!! I have stayed at many 5-star hotels but I must say Le Grand Inter-Continental deserves more than 5 stars! The concierge was extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were immaculate and the lobby's decor was amazing, they totally captured the Christmas spirit! Would stay there again when in Paris!”
