Renaissance Paris Vendome Hotel

This place was great!!! We had a small but lovely room and the staff speaks multiple languages and were always so gracious and attentive. The hotel itself is in a fantastic location, we were able to walk a ton. (Less than 10 minute walk to the Louvre!) And lots of great food in the area you just have to walk the opposite direction of tourist trap places. In the morning they provide coffee, teas, and water complimentary, and in the afternoon they provide little bags with assortments of candy! I only take a star away for their bathtubs I found them uncomfortable. But the beds themselves were great and we would for sure stay here again.

Used points to stay here for a trip to France, the rates are pretty pricey if you are paying. That being said the location is excellent for a lot of Paris tourist locations.
The rundown:
–The rooms are very nicely kept and very quiet at night so you can sleep soundly
–They have really nice deep bath tubs + a small shower
–The hotel staff is multi lingual, English, French, German, you name it
–The hotel staff is super friendly Yvette helped us numerous times and she was soooo nice!
–The concierges helped us get around and make several reservations
–You are basically across the street from the Louvre
–WiFi was included for me which was nice to map things out for the visit
Would absolutely stay here again on points. I don’t know that I’d shell out the nightly rate if I was straight up paying.

Fantastic Service. Had access to our room early in the day. Front desk employees were kind, and provide world class service and recommendations.

The location is perfect. It’s just steps from the Tuileries Park and Metro station (three stops from Le Marais), and minutes from the Seine River.
The hotel is small, the rooms are a little run down, and the beds need replacement. The staff is excellent, and the breakfasts are very good, although expensive. If you’re staying on points like we were, your breakfasts may be included. My wife liked the pool, and I liked the included WiFi.

Took over 5 hours for the room to be available after check-​in time. Also overheard another woman who had a reservation but no room, and she was walked to another hotel. I have stayed thousands of nights in a Marriott property in the last decade and this was easily the worst experience I’ve ever had. The small rooms and sub-​par service did little to make up for the check-​in disaster.

Good location and great breakfast for platinum members. I stayed here on points so it was free and when it is free it is hard to complain. The location is great, right near the Louvre. The only problem I had with the place is you cannot take a shower without getting water all over the floor. They have no shower curtains, I guess it is a french thing. The rooms were also very small, like NYC small. With two people in a room you do not have much space, but you probably did not book here to spend time in the room.

If you are American read this before booking a room here. It is my experience that this hotel does not treat Americans with respect. Here’s what happened to us: we booked our room for four nights with the help of a Marriott Customer Service person. She was very nice and helped me booked a room for four nights at my corporate rate, which was actually quite good. However, after an early morning arrival from another European destination the front desk staff immediately began to «upsell» us. I think this was for two reason; the great corporate rate and the fact that we were casually dressed (Lululemon) Americans. So enticed by a larger room, we looked at two options. Both had a hefty nightly upgrade fee. We couldn’t decide so asked the staff provide us with the opportunity to consider both options over breakfast. Within the hour I phoned back told them which option I selected and headed back to the hotel. Upon arriving we were told our room was «given» away. Perplexed I was assured the «new» room they had for us was much better. Surprise, it was not. It was actually the original room type we booked but now the price had been raised to the cost of the more spacious room. It was despicable behavior and there and then I decided to cancel my reservation although rather than support this particular hotel and staff. I dealt with Maud, Charlotte, Assistant GM and Julie, the General Manager. Julie told us our deception was understandable, due to miscommunication. I think she meant to say perception, but none the less, she is accurate. We were deceived. Hoteless in Paris.

Used Marriott points to stay here. Great, great location, just steps away from some of the most popular shopping and site-​seeing areas.
I usually don’t like rooms on the 1^st floor, and definitely not rooms near the front desk, but this was the room I got — room 001. It was a fantastic room: surprisingly quiet, relatively big, and easy to roll out of bed and get to brunch or head to the gym 1 floor down. Very friendly and nice staff.
If I could afford it I would definitely stay here again. Was here in the winter and my only complaint was that the lobby was somewhat cold. So, even though they sometimes had evening music and cocktails in the front lobby, I thought too cold and so not comfortable.

I enjoyed our stay in this hotel. It was a little small, but I guess that’s how it is in Paris.
The room was small but really cozy. We got breakfast in the morning and they did have some healthy options. Service for breakfast was a little weak at times.
We ordered a boiled egg one day and we never got it. I have to give them some credit because they were always very quick getting you tea or coffee.
The hotel is very close to the L’ouvre and a lot of other points of interest in Paris. It’s really a great location right in front of the Jardin Tuileris.
They had a gym but it was very small, only one or two people could possible work out comfortably there. The pool was really nice though.
I liked it and since I loved Paris I am just glad we had a comfortable place to stay.

The room is huge, or maybe I was given a big room since someone complained her room was tiny? I was also thrilled when the amenities inside the room were Bvlgari!
Staffs were very friendly, always greeted me whenever I was walking into the hotel or leaving the hotel. I love how the hotel set up a table near the reception area where guests can help themselves with those heavenly marshmallow candies. The hotel even provides plastic bags, ribbons and tongs (very sanitary, very thoughtful) so one can bag the candies and enjoy in the room. There was a table with pitchers of water accented with orange slices and lemon slices for the guests. These are some lovely touches which I do appreciate a lot.
Musee du Louvre is a short walk from the hotel. So is Le jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries garden). One can walk to these must go places in Paris easily. Metro station (Tuileries station) is a few minutes walk away too. But I have walked from the Louis Vuitton flagship store at Champs Élysées back to hotel, it was not too bad since I am not one who loves to walk a lot and far. If I can do it, anyone should be too. I like to walk in Paris instead of taking the metro all the time since I get to see more by foot.
My only little complaint of this hotel is there is not much view from my room and the toilet is separated from the bathroom. Kind of a weird layout for me. Other than that, I will still be very happy to stay here again if I next visit Paris.

Our family has stayed at this property twice in the last 6 months. It is convenient to many tourist sites, but is on a quiet side street, so there isn’t as much noise or bustle one might expect from other big chain hotels. The concierge is top notch, very efficient & went above & beyond to meet our needs. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well appointed. However, this being Paris, the rooms are small. The hotel is in one of the best arrondissements, & this area is best seen on foot. It is delightful in all seasons — there is always something new to see. Restaurants are close by — there is an excellent tapas bar down the street from the hotel, great shopping is all around for blocks & blocks, & one can’t beat the cultural sights that surround the property. This hotel is a delightful, quiet respite in the heart of Paris. Enjoy! If you have any questions — the staff is so very helpful to answer them or direct you anywhere in the city.

We are gold elite members with Marriott and have stayed at this hotel before. I accidentally booked a reservation 3 months in advance, but didn’t realize it was a non refundable rate. I simply wasn’t paying attention and missed the cancelation deadline by 5 days. They charged our card the full amount (almost $ 5000) and are refusing to refund our money. We have been loyal to the Marriott chain for business and personal travel for 6 years and this is how they deal with it?
They still have 3+ months to fill that reservation and will lose our business for good over a little mistake.
Hold on to your wallet here! The manager was NOT at all accommodating.

I should have realized, one week after an amazing stay at the Westin Dublin, that I should stick with Westin properties where possible. Unfortunately I didn’t use my head and booked 2 nights at the Renaissance Paris Vendome Hotel instead.
Huge…gigantic mistake.
So this hotel has some good points: beautiful pool /​sauna area, clean rooms, and fantastic location. But that’s where the good ends.
And now for the not-​so-​good:
*Tiny rooms. Since we had our daughter with us, we booked a Jr. Suite. The room was SO SMALL that I felt as though we were all going to go mad in a «The Shining» sort of way. For 529 Euros a night I would expect larger and have in fact received larger for less on most of our other Paris trips (Marriott Champs-​Élysées, Scribe, etc.).
*Terrible views. Our first Jr. Suite was on the first floor with an indoor view overlooking absolutely nothing anybody would want to see. Apparently all Jr. Suites face indoors (puzzling). The staff moved us up to a 3^rd floor room which was marginally better but still faced a dilapidated building. Very disappointing for the price.
*Security. The safety chain is a joke. It reaches so far in that anybody could easily slip through it. Also, housekeeping doesn’t bother to knock first, they just enter and then apologize for doing so. I don’t get it.
*Staff is overall fairly nice but they don’t go out of their way to do anything. Example: my husband is a gold member and they didn’t let us know that breakfast was included with his membership so we ate outside of the hotel on the first morning. Another example: We requested checkout at 1 pm instead of 12 pm and had to escalate to 3 people before the whopping 60 minutes was indeed granted to us. A final example: Housekeeping left one small bottle of Evian in our room. For 3 people to share. Seriously?
We brought our issues to the hotel staff throughout our stay in hopes that they would make things right. One staff member was apologetic saying that they are a «boutique» hotel and they «will escalate to the manager.» Either the manager didn’t care or the problems were not brought to the manager’s attention… who knows?
Here is what I do know: we will NEVER stay here again.

Great location. Since I am Platinum, free breakfast buffet and it was a very nice spread. The room wasn’t huge but large enough, especially the bathroom. The only negative was the small elevators which make it hard to fit more than a couple of large luggage. I would highly recommend this hotel. I stayed on points but would gladly pay $ to stay here. Lovely hotel, great locations, nice rooms, friendly staff.

I am glad I paid for my stay with points because otherwise I would have really felt I paid way too much as the going rate is very high here for what you get. Location is convenient and front desk staff were friendly. They also had a bowl with pieces of yummy fruit pâté. I tried to check in at 11am which was early and was kept waiting for an hour even though the room was available. I have had much better luck with early check ins in other European hotels including a much cheaper one in Paris. My room was vacant at 11am and it took an hour to get it ready. They have a free coffee machine in the lobby that grinds whole beans and delivers good cappuccino. There was also free gummy candy. When I got to my room I was taken aback by how small it was! The bathroom sink also needed to be fixed and I was surprised that this supposedly luxurious hotel would leave it as is. Please see the photo I took. The faucet also had a small leak so I wrapped it in a towel. I did appreciate the generous sized Italian sourced toiletries of the Bulgari perfume. On the other hand, the bed was on the hard side and the linens were scratchy. The pillows were uncomfortable and more for sitting up in bed rather than sleeping. Very small closet space. I had a view of a inner courtyard of two other buildings and got too watch and hear repair men drilling the ground! Luckily the room was mostly quiet over night. I also really appreciated that there were two windows that you could open up all the way! Got free breakfast in the morning that was a buffet and better than American hotel buffets but not as good as other hotel buffets in Europe. I decided not to try to restaurant at the hotel based on that I didn’t care for the setting at the breakfast buffet finding the tables to small and too close together and the room was drafty and at one point I could smell exhaust fumes from an idling car on the street as I was sat by a door that let the fumes in. Overall, I would not choose to stay here again because it is not worth the price and I would try other hotels in Paris instead.

4.5 stars. I can’t fault this place for anything but the price and the inconsistent information.
Location is perfect. Front desk staff and candies are very nice. There’s a coffee-​making machine in the lobby, but none in your room.
I got the government rate — $ 376, good for a teensy room. But hey, it’s Paris.
Silver status got me one free drink per night at the bar. No free wifi, as I was told on the phone.
The gym is tiny but functional.

Location is the key with this hotel. It is a short walk from many of the big tourist attractions in Paris including the Louvre, as well as good shopping. The staff is helpful and reasonably friendly.
There is a nice automatic coffee machine in the lobby area. The hotel bar is pricey, but nice. There is a pool and a gym so you can keep up your routines.
The rooms are decent sized, for Paris. They are solid as far as décor, similar level to most Renaissance’s.

This is a boutique hotel on a side street close to many major tourist attractions. It is within walking distance to the Louvre, Tuileries Gardens, Place Vendome and Place de la Concorde. It is also very close to high end shopping. The Musee d’Orsay is a quick walk across the Seine as well.
There is a bar and restaurant on the reception level. The hotel also provides free coffee next to the front desk until 3 pm. There is an indoor pool that opens until 11 pm and a 24 hour gym.
The staff are friendly and helpful. The concierge and front desk staff recommended some great restaurants in the area and made reservations for us for dinner. We arrived in Paris on a late flight and they called several restaurants in the area to see which ones were still open so we would find a place to eat.
We came here to start our honeymoon. We booked the hotel with Marriott points and they upgraded our room when we arrived. They also gave us a bottle of champagne in our room with a welcome note. We stayed in a Prestige room with a king sized bed (I originally booked a room with a queen sized bed). Our room was on the top floor with a view of the inner courtyard which looks into the skylight in the lobby. The room itself is quite small but very comfortable. The furnishings are very nicely done — cream walls, wooden panels for the closets, frosted glass doors for the toilet and shower. The toilet is in a separate room from the bath/​shower. Housekeeping comes twice a day to freshen up the room and provide turn down service.
I’m writing this review from our room on our last day in Paris because I wanted to make sure I didn’t leave anything out about this awesome hotel. I highly recommend this place!
Thank you Renaissance Paris Vendome hotel team for making the start of our honeymoon an extremely memorable one. If I ever have another chance to come back to Paris, this is where I’m going to stay!

This hotel is in a great, safe location. It’s modern and 1 block away from the main street — so I appreciated the quiet. The rooms are a decent size but not much room for lounging or for 2 large suitcases. Our family stayed here a few days later and received a different configuration room with a balcony, so maybe we had a smaller room. But it’s clean & modern.
The concierge was helpful but I didn’t think their restaurant recommendations were as good as another hotel nearby. The staff overall is very nice.
The one freaky thing about the hotel is the painted people in the elevator, always caused a little jump as the doors opened haha!
There’s great, high end shopping in close proximity!

Je me suis rendue à l’hôtel Renaissance Paris Vendome pour profiter de son luxueux Vendome Spa ! A l’occasion de la fête des mères, mes enfants m’ont gâtée en m’offrant un bon Balinea pour une réflexologie plantaire dans cet endroit magnifique. J’ai adoré ce moment de profonde relaxation que j’ai pu continuer avec l’accès au Spa que ce bon plan comprenait ! Je rêve de revivre un moment pareil et vous conseille vivement ce Spa !

Mes enfants m’ont offert une réflexologie plantaire pour la fête des mères ! Je sais qu’ils ont profité des bons plans de Balinea qui offrait en plus l’accès au Spa. J’ai passé un délicieux moment et j’ai pu ensuite continuer la relaxation au hammam !

Nous avons fait que le Spa Piscine fraîche
Accueil peu mieux faire
Pas beaucoup de place Super propre
Serviette à volonté
Casier à clef On a passer une super journée

Évidemment c’est un 5 étoiles que j’adore puisque plusieurs chapitres de mon livre Maan dans ses pensées s’y déroulent.
Un hôtel près de la place Vendôme où on peut passer des heures dans le lobby près de la cheminée à lire ou à écrire (comme moi).
Le bar chinois est très appréciable avant de sortir ou de diner au Pinxo.
Chambres magnifiques.

My girlfriend redeemed Marriott points for a night at this hotel in early December 2010. My review would be the same if we had payed for the hotel.
In short, loved it. In the past when I have redeemed hotel points for a free night, I have been treated like a second-​class citizen. No perks typically offered with points status, low-​floor room, etc. This is NOT the case at this hotel.
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I have stayed (and lived) in some very nice hotels in multiple countries and rarely have I received the level of service we received at this hotel, and for a reward-​points stay! This hotel is a model of guest service.
To start off, since we were meeting in Paris from different European destinations, I arrived ahead of my girlfriend. I took a seat in the lounge adjacent to the lobby and helped myself to the combination coffee, tea and hot chocolate machine. I sat there for over an hour waiting for her and was not one time hassled by the hotel staff.
The hotel is located on a quiet side street, one block up from a major road, providing a good logistical location, while sparing guests from road noise, perfection. Upon checking in, we were upgraded to a one-​bedroom suite (I would like to at this point remind everyone that this was a free stay!) which was very comfortably designed. Our room featured many tones of beige, all tied together nicely with the modern artwork on the walls which were black-​framed.
The hotel is, in our opinion, walking-​distance to many of Paris’ most famous attractions including the Louvre, Musee D’Orsay, Notre Dame Cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, Luxembourg Gardens, Latin Quarter, and the Eiffel Tower. Sites like Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, and the Eiffel Tower may not be considered walking-​distance for all, but we enjoyed wandering our way to and from the hotel on the vibrant streets of the French capital. The hotel recommended a good company we used to cruise down the Seine during our night in Paris.
After an exhausting day of playing tourist, we returned to the hotel late and ordered room service while watching a football game I streamed on the Internet. The hotel Internet was speedy and at 15 euros, actually a reasonable price for Europe. I paid nearly 30 Munich once, and my girlfriend had to pay 50 Pounds to chat with me from London, and we had no choice because we were planning this very trip. Room service was good. Only complaint would be the poor beer selection. Yeah I know, France, wine, blah blah. I was having a burger, one drinks beer with a burger!
In addition to the upgrade, the hotel offered us free breakfast in either the restaurant or via room service. We opted for room service. Each getting some eggs and toast. Simple, energizing, and good.
We checked out the next morning and the hotel allowed us to store our bags there while we walked around until our overnight train to Venice later that night and called a taxi for us for our departure that evening. More great service from a seriously excellent hotel. Highly recommended!

L’hôtel Rennaissance appartient au Groupe Marriott. Ce très bel hôtel de 97 chambres est très proche de la rue Saint-​Honoré mais au calme de la rue du Mont-​Thabord. L’hôtel est chic, design, avec des bois foncés et un très bon restaurant le Pinxo où il fait bon d’aller dîner ! Le chef Alain Dutournier, qui n’est autre que le chef du restaurant gastronomique du Carré des Feuillants, jute derrière vous concocte un menu excellent et copieux. On y file vite ! Très beau bar d’hôtel également pour ceux qui aiment comme moi boire un drink dans les lobby, certes très américain comme méthode !

On peut le dire c’est un des meilleurs hotels français du groupe Marriott que j’ai eu l’occas de visiter grace à une amie qui travaille pour le groupe c’est simplement magique pour ceux qui n’ont pas l’habitude des palaces comme moi !!!

Leur spa est tout simplement magique, avec une vraie piscine, un décor très zen, et pour finir une journée shopping, rien de tel que le soin after shopping qui vous relaxe avant de rentrer à la maison.
