What you need to know...

The newly refurbished 3*Touraine Opera is ideally located in a quiet street in the heart of Paris, halfway between the magnificent Opéra Garnier and Sacré Coeur.

The world famous department stores of Galeries Lafayette and Printemps as well as a selection of theatres, nightclubs, restaurants, bars, bistros and the church of Notre Dame de Lorette are within walking distance. You can reach all of the capital’s sights easily thanks to its proximity to numerous Metro stations.

The marble-furnished lobby with its comfy leather sofas and glass roof lounge makes a great place to plan your day sightseeing. Internet access is also available here, through either Wi-Fi or an internet terminal. The 39 air-conditioned rooms provide a view of the courtyard or of a very quiet street and have been decorated in a modern style with low-key colours whilst keeping some of the building`s original features, such as fire places, charming pictures and open beams.

A hot buffet breakfast is served in a superb vaulted cellar on the lower ground floor, offering a whole host of breakfast options including Viennese pastries and ham. Although there is no restaurant on site, there are literally dozens along with many bars within walking distance. A public car park is located near the hotel (daily charges apply).
