Maison Elle Paris in Paris

First, the good parts: the location is excellent and very central — within walking distance to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées. The whole place is full of artistic flair; every corner looks stylish and picture-perfect.

Now for the downsides: the hotel itself is tiny — so small that it feels a bit cramped. The lobby is very compact, and there are probably fewer than five rooms on each floor. Inside the room, design clearly takes priority over comfort, leaving very limited usable space. You have to watch out for all the little corners when moving around. The bed is covered with countless pillows — beautifully color-coordinated, yes, but the actual pillows for sleeping are quite small and not the usual hotel type. The bathroom is relatively more spacious, but even there, storage and counter space for makeup or toiletries is very limited.

A Truly Homely and Unforgettable Stay in Paris

From the moment I arrived—very late at night—I was warmly welcomed by Flo, whose genuine smile instantly made me feel at home. He offered me water, helped with the check-in, and personally walked me through the hotel’s facilities. He even shared wonderful tips about touring around Paris, which made my stay even more memorable. Matthew and the rest of the team were equally friendly and attentive, creating a warm and caring atmosphere that’s rare to find.

The hotel itself is spotless and beautifully maintained. What I love most is that it doesn’t feel like staying in a hotel—it feels like returning home. The lighting, soft background fragrance, and perfectly balanced temperature make every corner comfortable and inviting. Small touches like freshly brewed coffee and delicious cakes add to the charm, turning simple moments into special memories.

The location is also ideal—just steps away from public transport, shops, and great restaurants, making it perfect for exploring the city with ease.

My entire experience here was exceptional from star1t to finish. The warmth of the staff, the cozy ambiance, and the thoughtful details make this hotel stand out in every way. It’s more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place to feel welcomed, cared for, and truly at peace. I already miss it and the wonderful people like Flo and Matthew.

Highly recommended for anyone visiting Paris!

A boutique hotel near the Arc de Triomphe, with excellent service and sincere hospitality

That’s right! It’s the hotel opened by the ELLE fashion magazine that you all know.

MAISON ELLE is the first hotel under ELLE, located near the Arc de Triomphe in the center of Paris.
This trip to Paris was mainly to watch the National Day fireworks and experience the Olympic atmosphere alone, so I chose a city walk-friendly location in the city center🚶

Recommendation reasons:
🎖️5 minutes walk from the Arc de Triomphe and convenient subway
🎖️Full of fashionable design
The public area Lounge is very warm, just like going home, you can drink wine and chat with friends on the sofa
🎖️The hotel has access control and elevator control. You need to ring the bell to open the door when you come back late at night. It is safer
🎗️The sailor room and classic room are both about 14 square meters. After opening the 28-inch suitcase, there is basically no extra walking space
The space is just right for solo trip/short stay in Europe
🎗️For couples and families staying, the junior suite is recommended. The area is large and can open two 28-inch suitcases. There is also a bathtub🛁
🎗️When checking out, you can also visit the souvenir surrounding shops on the first floor and take Elle's designs home
🏅I have to mention the service staff. At that time, the guy Flo who helped check in at the front desk patiently introduced the overall situation of the hotel The host took the initiative to greet guests and remember their names. He was happy to communicate with them about their trip to Paris. During the few days we stayed there, we talked about many topics like friends.

It's really amazing experience in Paris and excellent chose ELLE for honey moon hotel. Wonderful memory for us. Thank you!
