The Westin Paris - Vendôme

You simply cannot beat the location. Nestled between the Louvre and Place Vendôme, it’s walking distance to many of Paris’s major landmarks, metro stations, and high-end shopping. Perfect for first-time visitors or anyone wanting to explore central Paris on foot.
”Normal” shopping isn’t around the corner, about 20 min walk you can reach Zara, HM, galerie laffayette etc.

The decor of the hotel was classic. While the room was charming, some of the furnishings felt a bit dated, and the bathroom could use a refresh. We stayed in a two room suite but the rooms didn’t have proper closets.
Room service was fast and food was better than expected.

Second stay at Westin Vendome in a couple of years. My wife also stayed there during a state visit when it was the Intercontinental, which was in better shape.

The staff is nice and accommodating, general ‘public’ areas are relatively well maintained, but that’s about it. This hotel definitely went downhill since our last visit a couple of years ago, and especially since my wife stayed there during her work trip a while back.

What’s unfortunate is that most issues with that hotel are easy fixes (e.g. broken toilet seat, really cheap curtains and curtain rods that have no place in a hotel like this, dust and crumbs from previous guests). Not to say that it doesn’t need a bit of an overhaul, but it’s amazing how a clean room without crumbs on the couch and coffee table, dental floss on the carpet, or broken toilet seat with rotten wood in the bathroom will leave you with a lasting and positive impression.

The good.
Excellent location, across the street from the Louvre Museum and Place Vendôme.
Depending on your room, the outside view is amazing (both times we were in a suite, so I can’t speak for other rooms).

The bad.
Room felt (and was) dirty. I really hate to say this because staff was nice and tried hard, but our room was consistently dirty.
Hotel is run down, compounded by a lack of maintenance and cleaning service.
Both full baths in our room were severely worn and degraded.

This hotel has great potential. It has good bones and a strong foundation, but needs a facelift and a lot of care/maintenance. We will likely stay at Le Meurice next door during our next visit because the Westin isn't cheap, and I'm not sure it's worth the price anymore.

Loved the room. Very comfortable. The breakfast was AMAZING! Eggs to order, great buffet---no complaints. Breakfast seating and service was quick and attentive. Would definitely stay here again due to its location close to the metro lines and you can walk to the other side of the river on a foot bridge in just minutes. Our taxi driver said it is closing for a 3-year renovation next week.

Wonderfully located and the front desk personnel are quite hospitable. Had we known that the hotel is being closed shortly for a major renovation though, we would have chosen to stay elsewhere. The property is quite run-down, which makes sense given the imminent project - just doesn't make for a very pleasant stay at this time.

Poorly lit lobby very old and poorly done up place. Dark and dingy feel as you enter the reception. When you zig zag and enter your room from the lift, the appearance of the room is of like a hostel bed. The only good thing is the balcony. But everything else is at just a stretch of a hand. There Aircon is from BC and takes the whole night to cool. The bar Tolliries (hopefully I have spelt the name correctly) is the good place.
Overall experience was poor and unlike a Westin and a hotel with some stars.

Our room was terrible, air conditioning did not worked, the room was too hot and could not sleep, opened the windows and mosquitos came inside. No housekeeping on the first day and we asked twice for it, towels in very bad shape. Tiles in the bathroom look dirty. Definitely not what we expected for the price.

Great location in the heart of Paris. Friendly staff but the building could use an update.

My 10 year old daughter and I spent two nights here in March and had a wonderful experience. The location of the hotel is wonderful- walkable to the Louvre, the luxury shopping area of Place Vendome, and Maxim's. Many other top Paris sights easy to get to from here as well. The room was clean and comfortable, if a little small. We ordered room service for breakfast one day and it was punctual and tasty.

Very small and dim room and outdated equipment.

The Westin is located in the heart of the fashion district between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde. It is a short walk from the Musee d’Orsay. The closest metro stop is less than 5 minutes to get anywhere in the city. Our room was South Southwest facing with sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre. The disadvantage to a street facing room is the traffic noise found in any large city. Some of the rooms face an interior courtyard and are very quiet. The staff and service are excellent. The front desk and concierge departments are as good as any hotel we have ever been to. There are certainly some deferred maintenance issue on the building but that is not surprising as it was built in 1878 as the Hotel Continental. My primary concerns about our room were the difficulty of getting in and out of the large slippery tub shower and the bed was not on par with other Marriott properties we have been to. The included breakfast was very nice.

This hotel was better than expected. Some of the reviews we read mentioned that the rooms were outdated, however, we did not find this to be a deterrent and in fact felt it was part of the historical charm for a hotel in the city. All of the staff were wonderful, the restaurant food was delicious and our view was nothing short of spectacular. We loved being within walking distance of almost everything. Would stay again!!!

Perfect location, great hotel. It's a bit costly, but it's worth every penny.

Location

Property was gorgeous, the on site restaurant was delicious, the room service was amazing, staff was great. i got a suite and it was HUGE. it almost felt like an apartment. i loved my stay. plenty of high end shops and restaurants around as well!

The location is great - a stone’s throw away from the Louvre and other spots. The rooms are incredibly small and dingy though - the bed wasn’t made right, scuff marks everywhere, and the wood around the bathtub was peeling off and looked like it’s seen better days. The front desk is also… not great. It’s not because of the staff! They’re great. It’s just that they did not have enough people at all at the reception. None of these are deal breakers but worth keeping in mind

Worst experience ever. Very dirty hotel and very old with damaged furniture. Even the sofas had stains and holes in them which were patched. Rude staff from top to bottom starting with Jean-Marc Michel the General manager and his henchmen Titika Rapanaki-Bigot all the way down to the reception and bellmen. Very petty hotel which will nickel and dime you for the most insignificant items. They don’t even have a coffee machine in the rooms. Their bell boys don’t deliver your shopping unless you’re in the room. Most importantly, I didn’t receive the category of room which I was promised. Wish I had spit in their faces before leaving. When I voiced my concerns to the manager, he said the lack of service is because the hotel is closing soon anyway. I asked for the GM on multiple occasions but he just evades you like a weasel.

Run down hotel, dirty.

In my stay in Westin hotel, I enjoy, but the some thing was missed in the rooms like boiling water kettle, which nowadays you can find in all hotels globally, when I pay this fee < I expect that, also the breakfast fee was a bit high

The staff were very friendly and very accommodating. On our last night we got a private tour of their grand reception halls and they were amazing! Such a hidden gem! Make sure to take the time to check them out. The rooms were roomy and clean. The location was fantastic. Close to everything we wanted to see. I will definitely book here again when I return and will recommend to all my friends.

Rims are slightly dated in the photos on the internet are much nicer than they are in person. It was a nice hotel and we were in a $800 per night suite which seemed really expensive for what we got. Constant police sirens all night long. the service was incredible Dell and they were nice enough to give us a bottle of champagne on our arrival with some suites.
