HOTEL LA TAMISE * * * *
Hotel renovado con el espíritu del lugar conservado para dar toques auténticos con habitaciones cuidadosamente decoradas;
En cuanto entras en el edificio, sientes el alma de una antigua mansión privada del siglo XIX. El espíritu del sitio fue respetado durante las renovaciones, al mismo tiempo que se modernizaba. Desde la puerta principal hasta la puerta de las habitaciones, los tiempos se mezclan, se envían mensajes sutiles, cruzan sus diferencias. Los vitrales, las baldosas de cemento y los antiguos suelos de madera originales, todos restaurados, realzan un estilo moderno con toques auténticos. Y luego está el trabajo sobre los colores refinados y cálidos, sobre los materiales (lana, terciopelo, tweed) y los acordes cuidadosamente elegidos para cada habitación. Además, la bienvenida es limpia y cálida. Y las ofertas de desayuno son variadas y gourmet: detox, continental....
From a location standpoint, it can’t be beat - we were close (walking distance for us) to most major “touristy” destinations like the Louvre, Champs Elysees, right off of Rue Saint Honore, etc. and within close walking distance to shops, coffee and breakfast, and bars and restaurants. Of course it’s a bit touristy because it’s so close to major tourist destinations, but the central location was perfect.
The room was beautiful, we booked a Superior room and we had a great window on the street, a large bed, and a bathroom with a tub, large shower (with heated towel rack,) and toilet separate. I see complaints in other reviews about room size, but in my experience with European hotels, this was large and accommodating. The hotel also has a bar area for breakfast, but where you can enjoy a drink or two, which we did before calling it a night several evenings. It helped that we enjoyed conversation with the bartenders!
The staff set our experience apart. They were so helpful, warm during all interactions, and extremely friendly and supportive when we had some stress surrounding some cancelled flights. While we fortunately didn’t need to push our flight another day, they were working with us to potentially book another night if necessary; they also shipped my AirPods that I left in the room back, which I feel not all hotels - specifically internationally - would do. It felt like a boutique experience without being in a massive hotel or with the inflated price tag. This trip was celebrating our recent engagement and it was a nice touch that we had some treats and a bottle of chilled champagne waiting for us upon our arrival!
We had an incredible time, and we will definitely be back to this hotel the next time we are in Paris!
Absolutely the perfect location, quaint and charming hotel, but even more important is the staff, who are all so attentive and went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable... and even went above and beyond with our special requests, etc. Totally a family-like establishment.
Special thanks to everyone at the hotel; Ewa, Antonio, Kevin, Rasy, Saleh, Sukanta, Lakhdar, Sid Ali, Bibiche, Beta, Henriette. for making us feel so comfortable and at home.
