You know why the managers of travel agencies more or less focused on the peculiarities of the hotel base in overseas resorts? Because tour operators arrange for Fam-trip, the study tour. During these almost free travel agents perform high-speed flight-throws in dozens of hotels and make conclusions for yourself: how to offer that to customers. However, it is a pity that the Fam-trip is not satisfied with themselves for tourists? It would be cool: first inspektiruesh hotel and then pay! Then you do not exactly progadali no matter the price, nor the level of comfort. But Judge for yourself, who will ride for both of you on the world TourCenter?

Ensure that you receive from this trip the most, we have prepared a small portion of general information about the hotel-based French capital.

So, according to the classification adopted by the French Tourist Authority, all local accommodation facilities are divided into five major classes:
4 * Luxe - this category includes hotels with the highest level of comfort and service, so-called Palace, many of whom are the first lines in the world of hotel ratings and easily give odds pyatizvezdochnikam other countries;
4 * - very high-class hotels;
W * - a high-class hotels;
2 * - luxury hotels;
1 *, and without the "stars" - small hotels with a minimum of comfort.

French tour operators themselves to ease of such an official classification, by the hotel each class into groups based on the following attributes: the level of service, location and rates.

By the way, about the prices. It is important to know about their seasonal fluctuations. From April to June and from September to October, as well as in the days of Christmas, New Year and during the period of the world of salons and exhibitions in Paris comes a huge number of tourists, and the number is rapidly expensive. And from November to March and July-August tourist activity is reduced, and the hotel owners, respectively, lower prices.

Now it is time to move on to specifics - a run on the hotels of category 4 * L, 4 *, W * and 2 * (less than comfortable accommodation in Paris offer you can not be resolved).

Part 1. Super fashionable 

Let's start with the most luxurious hotels - from the Parisian Palace included in the official category 4 * L: George V, Meurice, Ritz, Plaza Athenee, Bristol, Crillon, Royal Monceau, Prince de Galles, De Vendome ... All of them are located in the heart of the city, in the first and eighth districts. 

This is a hotel with a luxurious interior: painted on the walls and ceilings, mosaic on the floor, antique mirror shine. Many of these hotel rooms are decorated in the style of any of the historical French and all, without exception, perfectly equipped for work and rest, and quite spacious (for example, the minimum amount of room in the George V is 45 square meters. M). 

Hotels 4 * L usually has a few restaurants (which, incidentally, are considered among the best in the capital), bars, conference halls. In the George V, Ritz, Bristol, Royal Monceau has its own health club with saunas and fitness centers - in Paris, is a rarity.

Part 2. Simply fashionable

Now - run on the placement of objects 4 *: Vernet, Du Louvre, Scribe, Hyatt Regency, Intercontinental, Westminster, etc. The far-run we will not have to: these hotels are also located in the heart of Paris, in the first, third, fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth and sixteenth districts. 

In contrast to the Palace Hotel, which is made in strict classical style, part of this category (Le Meridien, Hyatt Regency, Novotel) are based on current patterns. But regardless of style, all 4 * hotels offer rooms with telephones, satellite TV, air conditioning, mini-bars, etc. Almost everywhere has its own conference facilities, bars and exclusive restaurants (for example, in the Hotel Balzac is a restaurant Pierre Cagnaire, with the highest category for the special classification of the French). 

Health centers in 4 star little. In addition to Novotel (former Nicco), experts can not recall any hotel of this level, which has its own swimming pool and fitness club.

Part 3. Comfortable

Three stars are for us the greatest interest, because a good half of the tourists on excursion group tours traveling in hotels of this class: Tronchet, Vignon, Moliere, Caumartin, Elysees Ponthieu, Lafayette, Mattle, Opera Lafayette, Mondial, Peyris, Pax, etc. The plots are located primarily in the eighth and ninth districts of Paris - near Grand Opera. 

Most of the hotels built in the late XIX - early XX century, but because they are designed in a classical style and have a small (up to 20 square meters. M) rooms, narrow corridors and lifts a small capacity (up to a maximum of two people). But since 1998, the beginning of the Paris World Cup, local Three stars was restored in large numbers, are numbers too: they quite comfortably and there is a complete set of progress (bathroom, toilet, hairdryer, telephone, TV, safe). 

Most hotels of G * has its own conference rooms, but restaurants and bars is far from everywhere.

Part 4. Economical

And in conclusion - the two star hotels: Villa Fenelon, Prima Lepic, Opera Drouot (hotels of Relais de Paris), Maxim, Victor Masse, Fiat and other hotels of this class are usually located a little farther from the center - at the edge of the ninth, as well as in tenth, twelfth and eighteenth districts. The rooms in addition to a standard set of facilities has a telephone and television, sometimes even found hair dryers and safes. 

Of course, this is not a god knows what, but the prices - $ 30-60 per person - has such a lot of Russian tourists hotels. Moreover, depending on the presence or absence of a safe in the hotel room is Paris does not become less romantic and attractive town ...
