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

Michelin Guide "A magnificent hall with wood panelling, refined guestrooms, a fine dining restaurant and an elegant English style bar."
Fodor's "This discreet palace-like hotel was built in 1925 to cater to travelers spending a season in Paris, so every space is generously sized for long, lavish stays." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located two blocks from the Arc de Triomphe in the heart of aristocratic Paris, this old-world, 83-room palace hotel has remained in the same family since its founding in 1925." Full review
Time Out "A panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower to one side and the Arc de Triomphe on the other doesn’t come cheap; Le Raphael is on of the most luxurious terrace bars in Paris." Full review
Star Service "The amiable, meritorious staff provides personal attention to a largely North American and European guest list with a taste for luxurious, calm surroundings." Full review

Jetsetter "An antiques-filled palace in the heart of Paris with a swooningly romantic rooftop terrace." Full review
