We have visited Paris several times through the years, and the Elysées Céramic is our favorite hotel. The building was originally a mansion built in 1904. The location is great, a short walk from Etoile (the Arc de Trumphe) and Champs Elysées. The hotel lies between two metro stops—Etoile and Ternes. It is a solid, safe, clean neighborhood with upscale shops and restaurants. If you love good food, check out Le Général and Etoile 1903. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The desk staff were fluent in English and eager to answer questions and make recommendations. The bottom line here is convenience and value. We’ll definitely be staying here again when we return to Paris.
