Bottom Line

The upscale Hotel Bradford Elysees - Astotel, in the 8th Arrondissement between the Champs Elysees and the Faubourg Saint Honore, is close to several good restaurants, bars, and shops, yet it's calm and quiet, thanks to its location on the quaint Rue St. Phillipe du Roule. Its 50 rooms, some of which have balconies and decorative fireplaces, retain the classic elegance of Haussmann-style details while adding such modern amenities as iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, and minibars with free soft drinks. The hotel has an open honor bar in the afternoons, with free soft drinks and snacks. A full breakfast buffet is served every morning for an extra charge. Travelers could also consider the Hotel Le 123 Elysees, another Astotel property, with similar amenities but slightly lower rates.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hôtel Bradford Elysées – Astotel

Scene

Upscale boutique hotel originally built as a private residence 

This classic 19th-century building was part of the renovation of Paris ordered by Napoleon III that dispensed with crowded hovels and erected palatial structures on the newly widened avenues. The Bradford Elysees -- part of the Astotel group, with 17 hotels in Paris -- was originally built as a private residence, and its elegant interiors are decorated with portraits of its namesake family. A 2015 renovation updated its interiors in a modern palette of light-gray molded walls and dark-wood furnishings with muted pastel accents. Many antique pieces remain, and the parquet wood floors show just the right amount of wear. An antique cage elevator -- which survived the renovation -- services the six-story building, running through the center of its central open staircase.

The Grand Palais and the Arc de Triomphe are about a 15-minute walk from the hotel, and the Eiffel Tower is a 24-minute trip on public transportation.

The Bradford Elysees - Astotel's 50 rooms got a full renovation in 2015, while still retaining decorative nods to 19th-century Paris, with elegant chandeliers, paintings in antique frames, and wall mirrors with gilded patinas. Diamond-patterned carpets pair with dark-wood furniture and flashes of red. Standard Rooms have small desks and chairs, along with armchairs. Free Wi-Fi comes standard along with flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, minibars, and kettles, but there are no coffeemakers. Slightly larger Superior Rooms add love seats, and Deluxe Rooms have sitting areas with paired armchairs and a small table. Bathrooms are modern, with heated towel racks, well-lit vanities, and shower/tub combos with dual showerheads. Some rooms have architectural echoes of the original house, such as decorative marble fireplaces, while others have Juliet balconies. Some rooms on the sixth floor offer a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower on the other side of the Seine.
