Looking for somewhere to stay with points in Paris. We would prefer something within easy walking distance of sights but also quiet. Would love to have something with a nice outdoor garden area for a drink or something to eat. We will be in Paris in September.
I assume you have the Bonvoy app? There are a number of choices widely varying in cost and location I’d start there, dig into which ones you like most.
This would all depend on budget and what area you're looking in.
Not sure any of them meet your garden requirement
So here are some thoughts
Marriott Champs Elysées. Avoid. Unless you are a multi millionaire the staff thinks you are not worthy of staying there
Renaissance Vendome. Nice. Decent service not my favorite location in Paris
Renaissance Noble. Over on the 16th but a nice hotel
Meredian. Ok. Not good with upgrades which is important since the basic rooms are small and dark
Courtyard Gare Lyon. Haven’t stayed here but it looks good
Unfortunately my fav is closed until 2024
You might want to search the Marriott Insider group on Facebook. You can find reports from Bonvoy members and their experiences in Paris. After searching through there, I decided to stay at the Paris Opera. I am also going in September prior to
the Loire and the South of France trip. I booked in October and still couldn't get exact the dates I wanted.
We're Marriott Lifetime Titanium members, and would say unless you've got points to burn you can do so much better off staying elsewhere. The Marriott rates in Paris are just crazy compared to other options every time I've checked.
I personally really liked the Rive Guache location. It had great point redemption rates and I enjoyed the location but it's closed until 2024 so I am using my Marriott points for the London part of my stay (they have some very good options there)
Rive Gauche was great---but currently not an option. The new Courtyard looks lovely but I've not stayed there. The Ambassador is probably the best bang for your buck because I really find most of the hotels to be overpriced for what you get. Sometimes the Design Hotel on the list can have a decent rate.
