Still on one of my trips to Paris, I stayed at the Renaissance Paris Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud hotel. Not that it’s very convenient, but it falls within the affordable price range reimbursed by my employer, and it’s not too far from our offices.

A look back at the itinerary :

Booking

I booked this hotel a few days before my arrival. A few days before, I send an e-mail to my Ambassador Marriott so that she can arrange for an exercise mat to be placed in my room.

Negative answer, as the hotel’s fitness room is closed. Disappointing.

A few days before my arrival, I receive a standard e-mail from the hotel setting out all the restrictions, including the fact that the restaurant is closed, and that breakfast will be served with bags brought to the room. A pity for a hotel far from the center of Paris, where food delivery is difficult.

Arrival

I arrive at the hotel before 9pm after a short 35-minute drive from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle.

The welcome is cheerful and warm, and I feel expected. I’m asked for proof of my rate, and I’m told that everything is ready and that I’ve been upgraded to a junior suite. Very good (I had seen it in the application a few hours before my arrival).

So I head for the elevators to my suite.

Room

My suite was located on the 1st floor of the property.

On each landing there’s a microwave oven for reheating room service jars, or any food purchased or ordered in advance.

Located almost at the end of the corridor, my suite is quite spacious.

The entrance hall leads to the separate toilet and bathroom.

The latter is equipped with a shower and bath, as well as a very large washbasin with two faucets, allowing two people to use the bathroom.

Products from the Bvlgari brand show that we are in a suite.

The room itself is equipped with a sofa (but no coffee table), a very comfortable king-size bed, and a large desk for working in complete serenity.

The entrance features two large closets, a mirror, a courtesy tray with espresso machine and kettle, and a cupboard with minibar and safe.

Finally, here’s a video tour of the sequel:

Hotel facilities

The hotel has a fitness room and an outdoor pool, both of which were closed during my stay.

Food options

As the restaurant is closed, breakfast is served as “room service”, in fact in prepared bags containing a hot drink, juice, pastries and yoghurt. Not so good, take a look:

Departure

Departure formalities were simplified, and the invoice was printed and e-mailed at the same time.

Bottom line

A very good stay. Too bad for the fitness room, in my opinion, which could have been kept open for hotel guests only.
