Hôtel Balzac

Plush hotel set in a lavish 19th-century mansion offering a gourmet destination restaurant.

About this hotel

In an opulent 19th-century mansion that was once the home of writer Honoré de Balzac, this refined hotel is a 4-minute walk from L'Arc de Triomphe, and 2.7 km from the Eiffel Tower.

Plush rooms come with flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi access and minibars. Suites add dressing rooms; some offer living and dining areas. Upgraded suites have separate bedrooms and whirlpool tubs; 1 features a terrace with a view of the Eiffel Tower.

There's an acclaimed gourmet restaurant offering contemporary French cuisine, plus an ornate lounge bar with velvet upholstery.

This chic neighborhood is defined by the broad Avenue des Champs Elysées, which links the iconic Arc de Triomphe and the chaotic traffic circle of Place de la Concorde. Upscale retail shops and shiny office fronts fill the area, along with a mixed crowd of fashionistas, tourists and local workers. The district is also home to art museums, including the Grand Palais with its high-profile exhibitions.
