Suite Novotel Paris Roissy CDG, Paris: Review
Jan 13th
The new Suitehotel Paris is located near Charles de Gaulle/Roissy airport and offering a new approach to hospitality. The lobby is bright and welcoming with light colours, using contemporary material and furniture. There is a friendly bar, an internet corner, a small fitness centre but the novelty is the “self service shop” where guests can buy food and refreshments throughout the day without having to worry or feeling uncomfortable about taking it to their room (note that there is only a “coffee/croissant” formula included in the room rate with a possibility for guests to purchase a more substantial breakfast in the self service shop). The bedrooms, which are called “suite”, are very spacious and adapted for the comfort.
They are well appointed and equipped with kitchenette and tea/coffee making facilities. It is also possible to separate the “living area” with the “sleeping area” with a sliding partition. The hotel is located in Roissy Ville, 3 km from the airport and offers a free shuttle service to and from the airport (Terminal 1,2, train station and ReR) from 05.30 to 00.30). A highly recommended hotel!

Le Chat Noir Design Hotel,Paris: Review
Nov 16th
Having been fully renovated and refurbished the fresh new hotel Le Chat Noir Design Hotel Paris opened its doors at the beginning of 2008 and is a contemporary hideaway in bustling part of the city. Located close to the Moulin Rouge in an area that is famous for the more risqué side of Paris nightlife guests are also an easy walk away from the winding streets and village atmosphere of Montmartre and very close to a metro stop offering easy access all over the city. All of the rooms are decorated in warm colours with fresh white bed linen and modern bathrooms with either a bath or a shower. The theme throughout the hotel is the Black Cat (Le Chat Noir) and this adds a fun atmosphere. Overall an impressive 3 star hotel that offers something a bit different to the norm.
