Hotel Lancaster.......the very best!You will not be disappointed! A very welcoming staff, helpful from start to finish. No issues during 5-day stay. Does it have the "extras" of a Ritz or Four Seasons? No, but if you are looking for location, cleanliness, service and quality of stay, I strongly recommend the Hotel Lancaster. Even the Italian restaurant directly across the street is 5-star food quality for lunch or dinner. Out the front door of hotel, turn right, walk about 1 minute and you are smack-dab in the middle of the Champs-Elysees! Then look to the right.....there's the Arch, a very close 5 to 10-minute walk. Quick access to Metro stations. You'll love it all!

Great stay in great locationStayed during the World Cup so the streets outside on Champs Elysee were very lively which made it that much more fun. The location is also very good, about only a 10 minute walk to the Arc and the shopping street of Rue St Honore. The rooms were quite large considering the location and they offered Clarins amenities which we loved. The breakfast was good but since we booked with Amex we got the hotel credit to use for the a la crate breakfast which made it that much better. All in all a good hotel and would definitely recommend

Best Hotel ever Stayed!!I never really ejnoyed a hotel like Hotel Lancaster. Arrived at 8am, I was able to check in with a free upgrade, hotel staff were wonderfull.
Hotel location is a block away from the heart of champs elysee, very clean, and quite. I would not recommend it to family with children!

Cosy with all its refinements
Amazing place because it’s small, it’s not show off like many other Parisian hotels. It’s kept this beautiful sophistication that I so admire and the service is great, the staff is so sweet and they had someone playing the guitar too! Little things like that make it worth it

Little GemI have been here many times and enjoy this
Hotel and its superb location and friendly
service. It is quite small and as a result they
have a difficult time accommodating an early
check in. Staff is friendly. Suites are large. My
breakfast was included which is always good

Overall an EXCELLENT choice, not perfect1. Pre-arrival the concierge corresponded by email, so we had dinner reservations at some places I chose and some he chose that corresponded with my parameters. He helped with other requests as well (including for a tattoo parlor).
2. The hotel accommodated an early arrival (we had emailed ahead of time).
3. Location is good for Metro access and sightseeing.
4. Hotel staff is largely bilingual (French and English) although the degree of English varies, it oresented no oroblem.
5. A little more housekeeping attentiveness is needed. The papers in the tray by the elevator that remained for three days and the failure to take the dirty plates from our room and to empty the garbage were negatives. The hotel is clean, but this along with one doorman/desk person’s unhelpfulness made an otherwise perfect stay slightly amiss. The unhelpfulness was “Where can we get a late night (11pm) snack nearby?” Answer: “Go this way” while pointing to the keft. When asked for a soecific place, he said, “This way.”
6. Monsieur Restaurant is FANTASTIC. I urge you to try the five courses tasting menu for a food delight. As for breakfast, the orice is crazy, so get it included in your room rate for savings on an excellent cold buffet with hot food from the kitchen brought to order. The fresh squeezed OJ is delicious.
7. The hotel is EUROPEAN style. Room keys are metal and customarily returned to the desk when going out of the hotel. Rooms are smaller than you will see in American business hotels. The furnishings are beautiful.
All in all, I was very happy. The price is not for paupers or the budget conscious. And, the value they deliver is worth the price.
Because of the hotel’s intimate size, the staff remembers us and the plans we shared. Then, at the end if the day or the next morning, they inquire, “Did you enjoy Notre Dame towers?” Etc.
STAY HERE.

My wife and I stayed a few days at the Lancaster. It wasn’t our first time there as we spent fe days in December there. All in a great option when in Paris. The room are very well organised and the interior decoration is both chic and functional. The service is great and all the staff is courteous and made sure our stay was easy and smooth. We highly recommend this hotel. Source: tripadvisor

The Lancaster exceeded our expectations and provided a tranquil, warm and traditional French environment. We planned to stay 3 days but extended for four more and enjoyed every day. The hotel is small enough to allow recognition with the hotel staff and to feel like we were alone in the property. The room was beautifully decorated and very quiet even though the neighborhood is active. We would certainly return and consider this hotel a wonderful value. Source: tripadvisor

Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the best concierge ever who explained everything so perfectly and made us feel at home. Our check-in included a complimentary small bite to eat and even down the presentation of this small plate was enough to set the tone for our stay. Absolute lovely service. Wonderful attention to detail. Comfortable beds. Clean rooms. I couldn't ask for more.Source: www.google.ru/maps/

What a wonderful Hotel! And what made it great was mainly the people. Keen to serve and eager to resolve any issues one had. And they did it with passion and sincerity. The classic interior and exterior only made everything better. Can't imagine staying anywhere else the next time we visit Paris. I don't think I thanked the staff enough. I hope this note will do.Source: www.google.ru/maps/

We had an amazing stay at hotel Lancaster and would recommend whether it’s your first or third time in Paris. The rooms are gorgeous, clean, and the beds are very comfortable. The area is close to everything need - shopping, restaurants, and cafes.Source: www.booking.com

Great service on arrival, luggage was taken from the car and taken to the room. The car was parked in private parking by the staff. Even had a room upgrade, beautiful rooms! Very good bed and super service in terms of hygiene. New towels every day, very good and luxurious breakfast. But above all a nice atmosphere and super good staff.! We would love to come back!Source: www.tripadvisor.com
Description
Location
Footsteps from the iconic Champs-Élysées with its glittering shops, on a side street with little passing traffic. The Arc de Triomphe and its panoramic rooftop views is a 10-minute walk and the nearby Musée Yves Saint-Laurent is an essential calling card for fashionistas. George V is the closest metro
Rooms
There is something eminently homely about the rooms – 56 in all, with street or courtyard view. Herringbone parquet floors with the occasional atmospheric creak, panelled walls, antique furniture and ample mirrors add bags of period vibe although the choice of wall art won't be to everyone's taste: Kiev-born Boris Pastoukhoff (1894-1974), official portrait artist to Russia's last Tsar, lived here in the 1930s, and some 80 of his heavy, gilt-framed oils decorate rooms and public areas today. Compact bathrooms are geometric with bath and shower, floor-to-ceiling white marble, incense sticks and Clarins courtesy products. The ultimate is suite 401 where Marlène Dietrich lived – leaving behind her Érard baby grand piano and a glass-covered coffee table showcasing a pair of her gloves, a hand mirror, feather and framed photo.
Food & drink
Breakfast is served in the elegant salle de petit dejeuner with oyster-grey panelling, chandelier and more of Pastoukhoff's gilt-framed oils. The buffet is the classic French mix of buttery croissants and pains au chocolat, baguette, fruit, cheese, ham, cereals and cooked-to-order eggs, but unless you're a big eater you will derive more culinary satisfaction from an à la carte black truffle omelette (€25/£22), caviar-laced scrambled eggs (€30/£26) or sweet brioche with eggs and homemade foie gras (€19/£16.50) courtesy of Michelin-starred chef Sébastien Giroud. Kudos for the quick 'café Parisian' breakfast (coffee, juice, croissant and bread) served until noon in lounge bar Le Marlène.
Regional cuisine from southwest France stars in the enigmatically named Monsieur Restaurant (lunch/dinner menus from €39 (£34)/€90 (£79), a nod to one of the famously bisexual Marlene Dietrich's string of monsieurs or male lovers. Travel tastebuds with langoustine roasted with fiery Espelette peppers, saddle of lamb stuffed with sweet autumnal chestnuts or aromatic Noir de Bigorre ham air-dried in the Pyrenees. Somewhat maddeningly, the restaurant closes at weekends (Saturday and Sunday), but the bar serves enticing cheese and seafood tasting platters, salads etc. Its courtyard patio is a gorgeous spot to linger beneath the stars. Cocktail lovers, Un Air de Paris – champagne, cointreau noir and lemon – has your name on it.
Value for money
Double rooms from €340 (£299) in the low season; and from €480 (£422) in high. Breakfast not included, costs €42 (£37). Free Wi-Fi
