Review:
I stayed there from Jan. 23-Feb. 3, 2008. The hotel is located in residential yet lively Passy area, just a few min. away from the Eiffel Tower and not far from the Champs Elysees Avenue.

I booked a superior room but was pleased to see they upgraded me in a junior suite for the same price. The room was beautiful! I had a balcony with a view over the Eiffel Tower!

They have many green programs (sheets, towels, water consumption, recycling bins, renewable energy, carbon offset) and propose an organic and fair trade breakfast. I was told they are the first independent hotel in Paris and suburbs to receive the European Ecolabel, which is a label given to hotels which have a strict green policy (energy, waste, staff training and clients awareness programs...).

I have been very pleased with the service as well, the team is young, friendly and very dynamic. They even have a game going on as they are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the hotel, i was surprised to see that one can win a free stay in an eco resort in the Philippines, where i am born, or a free week end in Paris.

I am coming often to Paris for work and will surely come back!

February 2008

I had to come to Paris for a business meeting. My family and me are very eco-conscious people so whenever we have to buy something we look for the green way to do it. Before going to Paris I looked for an eco-friendly one and found the Gavarni.

The 16th arrondissement is very nice and chic, the hotel itself is what I expected: luxury and eco-friendlyness. Traditional decoration in the lobby and in the rooms.

I liked the nice and polite staff. I liked the convenient location. I liked above everything else, that I was damaging as little as possible the planet by staying at the Gavarni's and it does feel good.
