Elysees Union Hotel

Did not have breakfast. We walked everywhere and loved the city>

That location is Absolutely perfect . The Eiffel Tower is in walking distance as his the Arc de Triomphe. The Italian restaurant next door is fabulous. Pictures of The Eiffel are spot on you can take pics outside the hotel front door . The staff is very helpful.

What I did not Like is the room on the first Floor Which felt more like I Was heading into a storage area . If you are given a choice take the top floors in the hotel to stay . Overall it Is a lovely place !

Attention was paid to our request to have a room on one of the upper floors and with a view of the Eiffel Tower which was very pleasing after experiencing several hotels recently which ignored these types of requests. The staff were friendly and polite. The balcony view of the Eiffel Tower was special. We wished we could have stayed longer.

This isn't the hotel's fault by any means but we wished the information had been available as to which part of the building Marcel Proust's apartment was located in back in the day. We understand that extensive renovations over the intervening decades have meant that the layout has changed dramatically since Proust's time. The nice man at reception told us he believed Proust's apartment was on the fifth floor, but said nothing more was known. As I say, it's not the staff's fault, but it seems a shame that the information seems to have been lost.
