If you need more I can ask around.

My family doesn;t like to pay a lot for hotel rooms but like them to be clean and convenient.

I have a girlfriend that stays in really nice places, the type who got a pair of christian louboutin custom made.

My favorite travel books are Alistair Sawadays "Special Places to Stay" - we have used them all over the world. In Paris I would suggest that you search the book using their maps by where in the city you would like to be. I wanted to wake up and walk out to the Eiffel Tower each morning, so we stayed at Hameau de Passy which was perfect and darling. I like to feel more "local" rather than "touristy" for most of the trip - but we've always bought tickets for "the big yellow bus" - it is a bit cheesy, but it takes you on a tour of the city and you can hop an and off as you like. It's more fun than using the metro just because you are above ground and it also enabled us to at least drive by all of the places that we felt like we "should" see - but could return to the ones we loved easily. When planning, don't forget The Louvre is closed on Tuesdays. A favorite memory is always just bread and wine and cheese on benches at the park by The Eiffel Tower. Every single bit of the food will be fantastic!

Sorry no recommendations from me as they stayed in homes.

Mother and I usually stay at the Westin which used to be the Intercontinental. There are many small hotels that are excellent. Email me at herpreppiness@gmail with the specifics of your trip and I have lots of recommendations.
