Looking for a hotel in a city like Paris can be a daunting task as there are literally thousands of hotels to choose from. But if you are looking for a cozy and elegant boutique hotel, located at the footsteps of the Arc de Triomphe look no further than Hotel Balmoral. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Paris over the years, and the Balmoral was one of the best. The service, the room, and the location all perfectly hit the mark and The Balmoral became our home away from home during our long weekend in Paris.
THE VIBE
The hotel is the definition of Parisian elegance. The hotel is meticulously decorated with contemporary art and period pieces. The room design is sleek, modern, and refined. The traditional Parisian balconies add an elegant touch: there is nothing better than waking up and sipping a coffee on the balcony with a beautiful view of the city. While some of the most elegant Parisian hotels can feel a bit impersonal, The Balmoral immediately makes you feel at home. The friendliness of the staff and the coziness of the guest rooms go a long way giving The Balmoral a chic and welcoming vibe.
THE LOOK
The hotel decor was sophisticated and chic – it was a perfect mix of sleek modern details and traditional Parisian elegance. Every mirror, lampshade, and painting is strategically placed in the lobby and the corridors. Hotel Balmoral also has a typical Parisian courtyard right outside the breakfast area. It was too chilly to spend time outside when we visited, but the courtyard must be lovely to eat breakfast outside in the warmer months.

THE ROOM
Our room at The Balmoral was the perfect mix of cozy and chic. The large window overlooking a quaint Parisian street gave the room a lot of natural light. The bed was plush and incredibly comfortable, I never really wanted to get up. I fell in love with the modern bathroom design: the spa shower was heavenly in the morning with warm towels waiting for you on the warming rack.
The Juliet balcony was in the room was perfectly Parisian chic. What a perfect place to grab a cup of coffee in the morning and enjoy the view.
The room was also extremely well-appointed, and every detail had been meticulously thought of to make our stay more comfortable. We found a pair of plush robes and slippers in the closet to wear when relaxing in the room. The hotel towels were large, soft, and always warm on the towel warmer. The room had an espresso machine to make your own coffee if desired. Finally, all the guests are given an iPhone with complimentary wifi and data to use during their stay, which is incredibly useful to stay connected in the city.
THE TASTE
The breakfast at Hotel Balmoral was my favorite part of the day. The breakfast spread included the perfect mix of sweet and savory dishes. Bread and pastries (croissants and pains au chocolat), crepes and Nutella, scrambled eggs, bacon, and breakfast sausages. Finally, a delicious selection of cheese and meats. A friendly waiter is here to bring you coffee or tea in the most adorable teapot. Hotel breakfasts can make or break a stay.
THE SPOT
Hotel Balmoral is located right by Champs-Élysées and a 2-minute walk from Place de l’Etoile and the Arc de Triomphe, which are some of the most Instagrammable places in Paris. You can reach the Hotel within minutes from the “Charles de Gaulle Etoile” Metro stop, which is incredibly convenient to explore the city. The location truly couldn’t be better.
