Editor’s Note:

Hotel du Champ de Mars is no longer a EuroCheapo Editor’s pick. In our most recent research and rate testing, we found average rates were regularly over $400 a night, which is well outside of our Cheapo budgets.

Original Review:

The Hotel du Champ de Mars is a popular and family-run charmer, offering smallish, well-appointed rooms with a location very near the Eiffel Tower, Rue Cler, countless stores and several Metro stops. The three-star property offers a touch of “fancy frou-frou” at rates that have risen dramatically in recent years.

The hotel has the breezy air of a country inn. Its 25 rooms are dressed up in colorful hues that reminded us of the lavender, sunflowers and breezy blue skies of Provence. Floral, checkered and striped linens all add up to one, pretty, and distinctly feminine, scene.

All rooms have a telephone, television, and free Wi-Fi. There’s no air conditioning, but fans are available in the summer. Note that rooms are pretty compact, so if room size matters, you should book elsewhere. Bathrooms, on the other hand, are larger than most and are each equipped with shower/bathtub combos.

Both the lobby and breakfast room are decked out in potted plants, plush violet chairs and vibrant green drapes. Either of the proprietors, Francoise or Stephane, are probably manning the desk. And during our last visit, “Canelle”, the family dog, was dozing peacefully nearby. It took all the strength we could muster not to curl up on the sofa and join her.

With doubles typically going for over €200 throughout the year, the Champ de Mars could hardly be considered "cheap.” Still, the legions of returning guests are a testament to its popularity—contact the hotel well in advance if you’re hoping to stay here.

Breakfast is available for €12.

Main attractions: Many of the surrounding streets offer up storybook views of the Eiffel Tower, still the tallest building in Paris. Another striking monument is the 18-carat-gold dome of the Invalides, that glimmers along the Seine's left bank, just east of the Eiffel Tower. Commissioned by Louis XIV as a hospital for wounded soldiers, the massive, structure was transformed after the revolution by Napoleon into a monument to himself. It currently houses an impressive military museum and Napoleon's famous tomb.

Notable museums include the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Rodin and the Musée du Quai Branly. And the 7th has a well-established American presence, home to the American University, the American Library and the American Church.

Neighborhood atmosphere: The 7th also is home to many imposing palaces turned government buildings and embassies, lending it a stately feeling with an old-world, slightly bourgeois Parisian vibe.

Affordability: Like neighboring St. Germain des Prés, the 7th is an upscale residential neighborhood with expensive shopping and dining including Le Bon Marché department store and food hall on the rue de Sèvres. The rue Saint Dominique is one of the city’s most concentrated dining hubs with reasonably priced classic bistros (Obama famously dined at La Fontaine de Mars at #29) and more upscale establishments like Brasserie Thoumieux. The nearby market street rue Cler has food shopping and unremarkable but reasonably priced cafés.

Stay Here If: You’re traveling with older relatives who will enjoy being in a calm central neighborhood with close proximity to the Eiffel Tower.

Stay Elsewhere If: You are looking for wild nightlife or a trendy atmosphere.
