Price: Moderately ExpensiveThe best feature of this popular business hotel is its wonderful location in the heart of Montparnasse, a section of Paris that is more local than touristy. Narrow streets, family-owned restaurants, weekend farmers' markets, and city parks, contribute to the area's low key Paris vibe.
We recommend Le Meridian E'toile primarily for those in search a convenient abode while in town for meetings and/or convention business in the immediate vicinity. The hotel faces the convention center; and the Champs Elysees and Arc de Triomphe are not far.

Price: Moderately ExpensiveSt. James Albany is a cheaper alternative for those wanting to stay in the heart of Paris' bustling tourist and cultural district.
