Michelin Guide "A true grand hotel typical of the 19C, the Intercontinental stands on the Place de l'Opera in the heart of Haussmann's Paris."
Travel + Leisure "Since its doors first opened in 1862, Le Grand has welcomed more than a few illustrious guests—queens, kings, and maharajahs among them." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Directly next to the Opéra Garnier, the hotel is a sumptuous example of good taste."
Time Out "The space under the vast verrière is one of the best oases in town, and the hotel's restaurant and coffeehouse, the Café de la Paix, poached its chef, Laurent Delarbre, from the Ritz." Full review

Concierge "Andersen, named after Danish tale teller Hans Christian, is under the eaves on the sixth floor and has gorgeous city views, including a perfect snapshot of the Eiffel Tower."
Travel + Leisure "Paris’s 2010-opened Pavillon des Lettres... pays homage to Voltaire himself, along with 25 other writers who were the inspiration for this chic hotel on a quiet street in the Eighth Arrondissement." Full review
Time Out "Across the river from the historic literary hub of the Left Bank, the Pavillon des Lettres welcomes Moleskine-carrying travellers on a quiet street, secluded from the nearby Champs-Elysées." Full review

The hotel offers three room categories, but be sure to ask for one facing the Eiffel Tower for an exceptional view from your balcony, where you have more elbow room to pen some of your finest work.
Star Service "This is an interesting choice, especially for the literary- minded, and its chic retro-1920s and limited public facilities blend nicely in a much-prized location." Full review
Gayot "Paris ranks among the world's top literary cities, which makes us wonder: why aren't there more hotels like this one in The City of Light?"
Condé Nast Traveler "This 26-room sister hotel to the delightful Pavillon de la Reine conjures a chic take on la vie bohème." Full review
