Classified as a three star hotel. Our ratings (1 -5 stars):
Overall: 5 stars - The Hotel Mansart strikes the right balance with modern conveniences and French charm. The spacious, up-to-date rooms are a bargain in the prestigious Place Vendôme area. The room size, furnishings, and amneties are uncommon in a Parisian 3-star property. A great choice if your stay in Paris includes high-end shopping.
Location:
4 stars - Located near the Place Vendôme and Place de la Madeline. This is the heart of the Paris high-end shopping district. The streets surrounding the Hotel Mansart are home to to gourmet food shopping (Fauchon, and Heidiard), upper-crust jewelry stores (Cartier, and Van Cleef and Arpels), and designer boutiques (Gucci, Chanel, and Dior). The Hotel Mansart is also within a few blocks of Paris's historic 5 star grand hotels with their famous bars and starred restaurants- the Paris Ritz, The Intercontinental Grand Hotel, and the newly renovated Paris Grand Hyatt. Paris' famous department stores (The Grand Magasins), Galleries Lafayette and Printemps, are a short walk from the Hotel Mansart.
If you've come to Paris to "shop until you drop", this is the hotel for you. If you yearn for the romance of "Old Paris" - local markets, intimate cafés, and 18th century architecture, there are better locations in Paris to stay.
Style and Decor: 5 stars - Extremely comfortable with large rooms and modern conveniences, the Hotel Mansart greatly exceeded our expectations. The rooms are furnished in elegant Napoleonic style with mahogany vanity tables, wing chairs, and dressers with modern conveniences uncommon to many Paris 3 star hotels, such as, flat-screen tv with enhanced cable package, mini bar, wi-fi access, and key-card entry. Each of the 57 rooms is decorated in the same style.
Staff - 5 stars - The staff was extremely courteous, prompt, and outgoing. All our requests were promptly fulfilled. Amenities: 4 stars - The large lobby contains marble flooring and understated French furnishings.
The pleasing teal and peach geometric murals on the lobby's walls are inspired by Louis XIV's architect's, Jules Hardouin-Mansart, drawings for various French gardens. Hardouin-Mansart also designed the Place Vendôme and the Versailles palace.
Value for Money:
5 stars - The Hotel Mansart is a steal. The stylish, spacious, and comfortable rooms are fraction of the price compared to the other high-end hotels in this area. If you want to stay in comfort in the luxury center of Paris, but you don't need the in-house amenities, such as gift shops, bars, and restaurants, the Hotel Mansart is a great choice.
