**A Warm, Authentic Heart in the Center of Paris** L’Empire Paris proved to be the ideal start for our trip, offering a location that balanced iconic city highlights with a genuinely authentic neighborhood feel. Some of our favorite memories were simply enjoying drinks right on the street outside, where we ended up chatting with locals who have lived on those exact blocks for over thirty years. Between their incredible stories and the exceptionally warm, attentive hotel staff, we received the most welcoming introduction to the true heart of Paris. The warmth, hospitality, and overall experience completely blew past every expectation we had. We couldn't have asked for a more special stay.

We had a wonderful experience at L’Empire in Paris. The staff were multilingual, warm, and exceptionally helpful throughout our stay. They were very responsive to our questions and requests, and their professionalism made everything easy and stress-free. One of the things I appreciated most was how accommodating they were with our luggage. We stayed at the hotel before traveling to Avignon, checked out, and then returned to L’Empire afterward. The staff kindly kept our bags for the several days we were away and had everything ready for us when we returned. This was incredibly convenient and made our travel between destinations much easier. Overall, the combination of attentive service, responsiveness, and thoughtful hospitality made L’Empire a very pleasant place to stay in Paris. I would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to other travelers.

Great location, great air conditioner which is especially important since Paris was really hot when we were there. Staff were amazing. We were in one of the basement rooms whose windows faced a sunny courtyard yard. Plenty of light and room had more space than typical hotel rooms. Hotel was around the corner from a laundromat and near several metro stations. The breakfast buffet was good. Would stay here again.

Very good location. Would definitely stay here again. Helpful staff. Room was slightly warmer than we like, but was comfortable. (We like it very cool.) One note (and this is true at nearly all European hotels we’ve stayed at)…whatever number they say the room accommodates, subtract 1. For example, our room was for “4”. It was a nice, large room, but only had 1 King bed and 1 twin size pull out. Unless 3 people are in the King, or 1 is on the floor, that math doesn’t math!
