Rough Guide
"A charming, quiet hotel set in an atmospheric period building at the end of a picturesque 1850s passage."
Fodor's

Insight Guides
"A quiet, friendly hotel in an excellent location, in a 19th-century glass-and-steel-roofed arcade off the main shopping boulevards."
DK Eyewitness
"The well-loved Chopin gets fully booked far in advance due to its low prices, friendly welcome, and unusual location in a historic covered passage."

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

DK Eyewitness
"A real insiders’ location, the Brighton provides a much-sought after Rivoli address without the sky-high prices."
Time Out

Star Service

Frommer's
"Did someone say “view”? How about a panorama of the Louvre and the Tuileries gardens from your bed?" Full review
