La Clef Louvre Paris

La Clef Louvre (aparthotel) is a hidden gem in the glossy area of Paris next to the Louvre. A 5 minute walk to the museum and the Tuileries, 10 to the Seine, its central location is ideal. The hotel itself is an understated delight, clad in tones of gray, with a quiet lobby off the Rue de Richelieu. Upon entering this historic building, you are greeted by a professional, multi-lingual staff who see to your every need with discreet competence. Our room was on the 6th floor, and boasted a wraparound balcony with table and chairs, and a view of Haussmann architecture. We were above the city noise and felt immediately at home. Our room had a large kitchenette, washer/dryer and a fridge. We enjoyed many leisurely hours sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine and baguette. There is a Nespresso machine for the first cup of coffee, and an excellent breakfast area just off the lobby. The large beds are comfortable, and the bathroom gleaming. We felt very lucky to have chosen La Clef Louvre over several better-known, nearby luxury hotels. The atmosphere, amenities and gracious staff suited us to a 'T'. I would recommend La Clef Louvre to anyone tired of the 'big-box' corporate- sameness of luxury hotels these days. We plan to return on our next Paris outing.

The staff was very accomodating for my early arrival, efficient, always smiling and greeting me. The front desk staff were charming, and management was helpful in extending my stay! I had the most wonderful time in Paris, my room was beyond what I could have hoped for. It was clean, quiet and really just perfect. I had flowers and the cleaning staff brought me a vase without me needing to ask. I'd say the best experience I've had in Paris or anywhere really!!! I will be back soon and each time I travel to Paris La Clef Louvre will be my first choice! The location is amazing as well, I really felt like I lived in Paris for a week! I was working part of the time and the wifi was excellent, never had any problems.

After reading many different reviews of various hotels near to the Louvre I booked the Exclusive Suite at this hotel. Check-in was seamless by the very professional and friendly reception desk. My room was on the first floor (103) and as soon as I entered I was not disappointed. The size of the suite was amazing as was all other aspects; very clean, great kitchenette (we only needed the fridge which was vital as it was very hot in Paris when we stayed), comfy bed and air conditioning. The suite had a separate sitting area which was great to come to after a day of exploring. Each room has windows which can be opened if needed but it can get abit noisy from the outside, but I did not mind. In terms of the location, the Lourve is a 6 minute walk, 2 metro stations are close by, a Franprix (general grocery store) is a 2 minute walk, the Big Bus booking office is a 5 min walk and a number of Cafe/Restaurants are literally opposite the hotel. My stay at this hotel really added to a great stay in Paris. I highly recommend this for anyone looking at a great hotel in arrondissement 1 near the Louvre.
