Suite hotels

Hello,





I am planning a trip for my wife and I and our young son. When we travel we always prefer a suite. I am having trouble finding what I used to using this term. What I require is a separate bedroom (king prefered). I do not need two bedrooms, we usually set up a crib for our son in the living room area. A kitchenette of some sort is also ideal (coffee maker, toaster, fridge etc). What is this sort of accommodation called in France? Does anyone have any recommendations? In my search so far I found one place but it was 250 euros. Anything more in the 150-180 range? End of may visit, central location.





Many thanks.

There aren%26#39;t a lot of choices in Paris-proper for that sort of accomodation, other than apartments....





There is a hotel-apartment chain called Citadines.

There is one suite hotel inside Paris, near Bibliotheque (13th arr.)

There are two suite hotels on the highway ring around Paris.

There is the Hotel Trois Poussins with kitchenettes.

Also there is the Residence Henry IV in the Latin Qtr - good one to look at.

Quite a few hotels will have a %26#39;junior suite%26#39; which is the bedroom and sitting area but no kitchenette.

I would vote for the Citadines chain. I have stayed at some in Paris and in Brussels. You would be looking at the one bedroom to give you a separate bedroom. The seven day rate is cheaper than the daily rate. However, be aware that it is serviced only one time per week.





To stay under 250 euros per night you will probably have to move a bit out of central Paris. However, you may find a cheaper rate by going through American Express travel than the citadines.com web site.





Please note that the apartments are furnished in an IKEA-style. They do meet your requirements for a kichenette.

Are you open to renting a flat? There are many options in your price range...while you won%26#39;t have the convenience of hotel services, you will most certainly experience Paris as a %26quot;local%26quot;. You won%26#39;thave to %26quot;cook%26quot; every meal..you can do take away, shop at the higer end stores such as Grand Epicure at Le Bon Marche, local street markets, etc..(raoasted chicken and potatoes.....oh my...add wine, cheese and bread...fantastic and no slaving over the stove.)





We use Parisian Flat (their lowest end one bedroom is $200 Euro tho....above your range but the apartments are wonderful as is the service)





I am sure there are other flats within your range...a quick search produced this site:





parisfurnishedapartments.com/Accommodations/…





I can%26#39;t speak to thier flats or service tho....perhaps other posters can give you recommendations IF you are open to that approach...
