Hôtel L'Échiquier Opéra Paris - MGallery

This is a GEM! of a hotel tucked away on a quiet street. All the of the front desk attendants were exceptional! And Hadja was so pleasant checking me in and so welcoming and detailed that I knew i was going to really like my real first time time in Paris and a stay at this hotel! And all the others were very helpful with anything I needed in preparation and during my stay. My cases that were brought to my room by the bellman was great! He was efficient and moved heavy case's with ease. Even the welcome gift of the cookies deliverd was a really nice touch. It always feels good to have hotel staff that really feel like family, always smiles and laugh genuinely. The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The heavy red velvet drapes were unexpectedly stunning!. I really liked the exposed elevator. It harkens back to the 1940's as moved quickly and smoothy, a nice touch to the decor. But my hat is truly off for the restaurant and bar. The attendants work really tirelessly at service and atatmosphere. Nice cozy seating and a very tasty memenu. But s would not be a complete review without mention of Shaun, the evening bartender. His warm demeanor and detailed attention all with a smile and a quick apology if anything was amiss was truly what this hotel is about. His signature cocktails always started me and my dinner guests off to a good dining experience! Please give him everything he needs to keep the level of service and creativity in his cocktails for all your guests.

an excellent hotel for 2 nights with grand junior suite and facilities

Misleading name (not so close to Opera). Front desk was not willing to support a family with young kids... disappointing.
