Rough Guide Star
"An elegant hotel, dating back to the late nineteenth century, with faux marble columns in the reception area and airy, high-ceilinged rooms."
Fodor's "A few of Paris' most prestigious palace hotels face the Tuileries... while the Brighton sits on the same prime real estate... it offers visitors a privileged stay for a fraction of the price." Full review
Insight Guides "Recently restored, this hotel has several rooms that overlook the Jardin des Tuileries, and a reception area awash with gilt, marble and glass chandeliers."
DK Eyewitness "A real insiders’ location, the Brighton provides a much-sought after Rivoli address without the sky-high prices."
Time Out "With several rooms overlooking the Tuileries gardens, the Brighton is great value, so book well ahead for a room with a view." Full review
Star Service "Its biggest appeal, aside from location, is its relatively low prices in a neighborhood of heavy-lifters such as its next-door neighbor, the ultraluxe Meurice." Full review
Frommer's "Did someone say “view”? How about a panorama of the Louvre and the Tuileries gardens from your bed?" Full review

Fodor's "Once a stately bank built in the early 20th century, this interesting hotel lies in the heart of the Opera district, with its shops and theaters." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The heart of this hotel is an extravagant lobby with an arched colonnade, colored in deep reds and gold." Full review
Time Out "Some of the executive rooms seem rather small for the price tag, but all is quality here, with parquet flooring, green Bizazza mosaics in the bathroom and luxurious burgundy taffeta on the bed." Full review
Star Service "This stylish Spanish offshoot is one of Derby Hotel's more dramatic offerings, and its Castilian sensibility is a sensation amongst savvy business and leisure travelers." Full review
Gayot "For luxury you can count on, the stately Banke Hotel is worth the investment."
Condé Nast Traveler "The first French property of the Spanish Derby Hotels group... occupies a gorgeous turn-of-the-twentieth-century bank building just steps from the Palais Garnier and the city’s big department stores." Full review
