Hôtel Westside Arc de Triomphe

In Paris’s 17th arrondissement, a stylish 4-star hideaway west of the center. Ten minutes on foot from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées, and close to Palais des Congrès, Porte Maillot and La Défense. Set on a quiet Haussmann-lined one-way street with a vibrant village feel and easy access to bars, shops and parks.

A compact hotel with 44 air-conditioned rooms that blend modern tech and Parisian polish. Many rooms offer views of the 17th arrondissement or classic Paris rooftops. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, iPod docking stations, safes and desks, plus bathrobes and slippers and designer toiletries in the bathroom.

Take a dip in the indoor pool or unwind in the sauna. There’s a bar and an on-site restaurant for evening drinks and local bites. Concierge and tour desk services help plan days out. Practical extras include an elevator, laundry and dry-cleaning, a safe-deposit box and on-site self-parking (charges may apply). Wake up to Parisian rooftop views and easy streetside strolls.

Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected and a 24-hour business center supports last-minute work needs. Lobby newspapers and concierge services add convenience for business travelers.

The hotel restaurant serves local cuisine and the bar/lounge is a casual spot for cocktails. Buffet breakfasts are available for a fee and room service runs during limited hours. For more variety, a Chinese restaurant, Bayan, sits nearby.
