This is my review of Hotel Grand Powers in Paris. A wonderful 5-star boutique hotel with perfect location and outstanding service.

1. The location
Hotel Grand Powers offers a prime location in the Golden Triangle which puts guests within easy reach of some of Paris’s most iconic landmarks and attractions.
The Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, and the luxury boutiques of Avenue Montaigne are just a short stroll away. The hotel’s central location also provides convenient access to public transportation, making it easy to explore other parts of the city.
There are many great restaurants nearby – including some of my favorites – which is another big advantage. You can easily make a quick stop at your room between sightseeing and shopping. Therefore, the location is more or less perfect in my opinion.

2. The facilities
The entire interior design provides a wonderfully intimate boutique feel. I love how inviting yet cozy the entrance and reception areas are – making you directly feel at home.
Beyond its luxurious accommodations, the Grand Powers offers several spaces dedicated to relaxation and well-being.
The hotel’s spa, a haven of tranquility, provides a range of treatments designed to rejuvenate the body and mind. I saw they also offer discounts or packages for certain times of the day.
Guests can also enjoy the hotel’s hammam and fitness center, ensuring they can maintain their wellness routines even while traveling. While the gym is small, I still liked it as it offers enough space and equipment for my needs and to stay fit during your Paris stay.
Hotel Grand Powers features a restaurant and bar for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. I tried it for breakfast and lunch and will rate the food in the respective section. The atmosphere is really nice (and cozy again), especially in the evening.

3. The rooms
The Hotel Grand Powers offers a range of elegantly appointed rooms and suites, each designed with comfort and style in mind.
The rooms are relatively spacious for Paris standards and well-lit, featuring high ceilings, large windows, and tasteful décor.
The color palette is typically calming and sophisticated, with soft hues and rich textures. I especially like the tone of the lighting. Modern amenities, such as flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, luxurious bedding, and super soft towels ensure a very comfortable and convenient stay.
Many rooms also offer stunning views of the Parisian skyline or the hotel’s charming courtyard.

4. The food
The hotel’s restaurant and bar offer delightful culinary experiences.
The restaurant showcases refined French cuisine with a modern twist, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The bar provides a sophisticated setting for enjoying cocktails and light bites, making it a perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks or a relaxed evening.
The attentive staff and elegant atmosphere create a memorable experience.
I can mainly judge the breakfast which is really good. They have a decently sized buffet with high quality and delicious breakfast staples which should already make you pretty happy and full. In addition to that, you can order a few dishes à la carte – some are included in the standard breakfast price. It was overall very good and recommendable.
Lunch is served at the same place with a small but creative menu. You won’t find your typical hotel dishes, but some healthy and modern options. Still, everyone should find something for their taste/preference.

5. The service
One of the hallmarks of the Hotel Grand Powers is its exceptional service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring that every guest has a memorable stay. From the moment you arrive to the moment you depart, you’ll be treated with warmth and professionalism. I was so positively surprised by how friendly and supportive everyone was when we arrived and this very positive impression lasted the entire time until our departure.
The hotel’s concierge service is available to assist with any requests, from booking tours and making restaurant reservations to providing local recommendations. I was in contact with the team several times to arrange dinner reservations and get some more ideas about things to do. Everything went smoothly and very professionally. All chosen restaurant recommendations were amazing and the team was also very helpful with some ad-hoc requests during our stay.

6. The price
Luxury accommodations in prime Parisian locations come at a premium. While in my opinion, Hotel Grand Powers delivers an amazing 5-star experience comparable to establishments like The Ritz Paris or the Mandarin Oriental, its rates are generally more accessible. Though still a significant expense, I believe the hotel offers exceptional value for money within the Parisian luxury market. As prices can fluctuate based on seasonality and availability, I advise checking the hotel’s website for the most up-to-date rates and best times to visit.

It’s the perfect choice for discerning travelers seeking a sophisticated and unforgettable stay in the City of Lights. Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, the Grand Powers provides a haven of elegance and charm that will make your Parisian experience truly special.
Although the Peninsula holds a special place in my heart when it comes to favorite hotels in Paris, Hotel Grand Powers has earned a close second spot. This hotel truly excels at creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, making guests feel at home in the heart of Paris.
