Bottom Line

The upscale 40-room Hotel Regent's Garden is a former 19th-century private mansion located on a quiet road within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe. Rooms nicely blend modern decor with a period flavor, and free minibars are a plus, though some rooms could use a refresh here and there. The highlight of the property is the lush garden, which provides a real respite, though on-site parking and free Wi-Fi is also a bonus. Rates are reasonable, particularly for Paris, especially for guests that don't mind being a little away from the center to save some euros.

Hotel Regent’s Garden – Astotel

Scene

Boutique hotel in a former private mansion with a secluded garden

The building that houses the Regent's Garden Hotel was once a private mansion gifted by Emperor Napoleon III to a Dr. Conneau for his service and loyalty in the mid-19th-century. Since then it has undergone several renovations -- first becoming a hotel in 1937 and a Best Western in the 1980s -- while losing very little of its original Parisian flair. Its elegantly shuttered and corniced facade has changed little through time, though interiors have been tastefully modernized while maintaining a historic feel. The airy lobby is fresh and bright with glass chandeliers, vibrant striped furnishings, and polished black tabletops. Smart low-lit hallways lead visitors to their rooms, while a secluded rear garden is a peaceful oasis of exotic plants and flowers. Location means clientele tend largely towards the business traveler, though the hotel also attracts tourists happy to be staying a little away from Paris's bustling center.

Location

Set in the 7th arrondissement, a 10-minute walk from the Arc de Triomphe

The hotel is located just off a quiet street in the 17th arrondissement -- a mostly residential and business district in the northwest of Paris. It's an eight-minute walk to the nearest Metro station -- Ternes -- which connects to the north side of the capital, including the Gare du Nord Eurostar terminal. The famous Arc de Triomphe is 10 minutes away on foot, and the start of the renowned shopping avenues of Champs-Élysées. Paris's major exhibition hall, the Palais des Congrès, is also just a 10-minute walk away.
