Kimpton St Honore Paris

My sweetheart and I finally visited the magical city of Paris after dreaming of making this trip for years. The best decision we made in planning this trip was staying at the Kimpton Saint Honoré. 2 months prior to commencing our visit I connected with Clement of their concierge team who graciously worked with me through email helping coordinate our visit with arranging all of our museum and restaurant visits. The visit wound up being truly seamless. Once arriving and with Clement on Holiday, we were warmly welcomed by the rest of the Concierge team, Laura, Loic and Matthew who couldn’t have been more warm and welcoming. Any questions or needs we had were quickly answered and taken care of. The property is perfectly situated in the heart of Paris. All the cultural destinations as well as all the shopping one might desire is within walking distance. A sincere thank you to all for making our first trip one we won’t soon forget.

Certain staff members really shined during our short stay. The manager was off property during our stay, but communication prior was friendly and welcoming. Lucreche brought up a welcome amenity and was a lovely person. Sebastian was instrumental mid stay in sharing hotel secrets much to the surprise of my hubs. If you like guitars, you're in for a treat. At checkout, Kwaime was so kind and sent us off with care. The Kimpton love is alive here from special touches like stones at turndown to sustainable and local toiletries make this property stand out for me. In general, the beds and pillows are perfection. The branding here is special: from laser cut key cards to marble decor to antique looking light switches. The design is old world architecture and luxury melded with modern amenities and digital systems. Saint Honoré does this well. Do not miss the rooftop bar or view of you are there in off months. It's outstanding! Also, bring a bathing suit and make sure you enjoy the spa below. Services to book, but use of the gorgeous steam room, indoor swimming pool and sauna are free for guests. It's a work of art down there. If you're a Kimpton fan, you know about their social or wine hour. 5-6pm have a complimentary glass of house wine or a beer. Umbrellas, yoga mat, slippers, and snuggly robes all available for you in room. Our room was super quiet and we slept very well. Location was great. Walk to the Louvre, the Seine, and upscale shopping in minutes. Train station less than two miles and a very inexpensive uber. CDG is a little further (about 50 minutes in traffic), but easy to get to. Top five Kimpton stays for me and I've stayed at a lot. Can't wait to come back when it's warmer.

This is a very good hotel. The location is excellent - not far from the main attractions in all directions and walkable to the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe etc.. Our room was very nice with a lovely bathroom, comfy king size bed and openable windows. There is also a stocked minibar and optional extras to buy, but also several free things as free gifts for guests which was truly charming. But what sets this hotel apart (from others that we have stayed at in Paris) is the excellent service provided by the front desk and concierge who are all incredibly keen to go that extra mile for us - booking restaurants and taxis, providing advice in a cheerful, creative, unhurried way. Thankyou to Pilar and Mathieu and your teams. The restaurant area was great for breakfast. There was a DJ and disco on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and it was too noisy to eat supper there but, hey, it's Paris - good restaurants are plentiful! Try this restaurant - you won't be disappointed.

The staff at this hotel is embarrassing to say the least. After staying at the hotel, I close my suitcase in the morning to move to the hotel across the street (Intercontinental), forgetting a T-shirt at the hotel. In the afternoon after a meeting held in the same hotel I ask if they had found the T-shirt. After making me wait a long time they reply that they have not found it. I find it embarrassing, to say the least, that a five-star hotel has such poor staff.

I love this hotel. I have stayed here on numerous occasions and keep coming back. The design is extremely elegant - think Paris chic meets California cool - and exudes a very homey luxury which makes you feel at home even during long stays. The people are all amazing, polite, friendly and efficient. I do not want to mention specific names as I will likely forget some unintentionally. I have stayed in most room types and even the “essential” rooms are very comfortable with the best showers in the whole of Paris (in fact one of my favourite rooms in the hotel is an essential room). Did I mention that all rooms come with a yoga mat? Why don’t all hotels in the world offer that is beyond me. Food is great quality, delicious and fresh with plenty of healthy and vegetarian options though if you do come here often it does not tend to change much for either breakfast or lunch/dinner. If you are here on business, note that not all rooms have a desk so if that is important to you, make sure you ask in advance, they always strive to accommodate requests. Spa area is well appointed and lovely and although not huge, it never gets too busy. I will keep returning to this hotel when I’m visiting Paris. This is now my Paris home. Can I please have a Kimpton in every city in the world I need to travel to?
