“Grand Hotel Francais presents a charming paradox: old-school hospitality enriched with contemporary touches, particularly relished are the complimentary evening drinks and the attentiveness from the multilingual staff; its Bastille district setting also puts guests within easy reach of Paris's key attractions via readily accessible public transport. Designer rooms offer an elegant retreat, ensuring comfort after a day of city exploration. In my view, it's a genuinely welcoming base from which to experience Paris.”
