Best Business Hotels in Paris

The InterContinental is the top business hotel in Paris, as evidenced by the suit-clad clienetele bustling through the lobby on weekdays. The hotel features a large conference room that can be cornered off into three seperate rooms, as well as 24-hour room service, a car service, a small business center, and free Wi-Fi -- all important for business travelers. Plus, the luxe, modern rooms (many with work desks) are comfortable, and come with coffeemakers or -- in the massive suites -- Nespresso machines.

This luxury property is one of the most business-friendly hotels in Paris. It may not be a name synonymous with luxury business hotel chains, like the InterContinental is, and it doesn't host as many business travelers, but it has plenty of top-notch business amenities. It features seven meeting rooms -- all gorgeous with antique furniture and often with large, light-filled windows. There is also a business center -- with pricey services such as translations and shipping -- and smart cars available for rent. The 24-hour room service is also a plus, but Wi-Fi comes at an additional fee

The 33-room Les Jardins de la Villa is a boutique hotel with contemporary style in a quiet location, so business travelers don't have to worry about street noise keeping them awake or distracting them from work. The hotel features an attractive, modern meeting room and though the business center is standard -- with just a computer and printer -- the hotel feature numerous up-to-date common areas where guests often congregate for casual meetings or to get work done. The stylish rooms are also well-equipped for business travelers, with free Wi-Fi, free coffee and tea, free on-demand movies, and Nespresso coffeemakers and flat-screen TVs with Internet.
