my first hours in Paris or something about our hotel

After this long day in Prague i was sitting in the airport and waiting for my flight to Paris. I've been to Paris ...hm... more than once. But this time it felt so different. As if it's going to be my first time. a bit nerveous
When I landed in Paris, I could see the beautiful sunset. who knew that next days it would be cloudy and rainy
I didn't have to wait for my luggage and I went straight to RER station. It was a bit funny that everyone in the train was asking me the direction (as if i had a clue. ok, sometimes i knew the answer).
Chatelet - a station where i had to do a change for the "ligne 1". Damn the station was so durty... I'd been here dozens times and only that day i saw so much durt. But i was heading towards my hotel which was...
here...
Less than 10 mins from Le Louvre. Kinda posh ... :)

Near the metro station i met my friend. I was tired, but happy to see her.
After a long journey I wasn't able to speak any language. But it was time for checking in.
The lobby seemed small, but cozy.
As every guest, i'm saying "hurray!" for free wi-fi in the lobby :)
We were welcomed by Zahra, a nice girl who helped sooo much during our stay. The same evening we arranged amenities to our second room ( yeah, the second room, which was for my friend as a birtday surprise). The same evening a concierge proposed a variety of different amenities. I decided that fruit plate is a better idea that "macarons from La duree".:)
Zahra said that i was the first one to ask for it :) 
She wished us a good stay and we went towards an elevator.
I decided to take a pic of it when my friend when she was inside of it. I think it's kinda funny idea to do this sort of drawing in the elevator .
Our room was on the 1 floor. It was a tiny room (in comprarison with hotels in Moscow). But it was clean, light and ...the most important.. with the most comfortable bed on the earth. We had some troubles with Tv, 'cause it was always proposing to watch some adult films . But at least it was working without any problems, cause in another room there were some problems with it, but we just switched it off

Our room
 
Bathroom amenities

We had a view on bar which wasn't really loud, so it was ok in the evening.
But from another room, which was on the 4th floor... we had amazing balcony. If only it hadn't been raining the next morning...
I think it's a great place for "prendre le petit dejeuner"
The view from the balcony
Oh.. almost forgot.
Fruit plate
Thanks to Etienne from Front Desk who helped with the second room, thanks to whom plate arrived on time (i suppose also thanks to concierge and butler) and thanks to whom i saw a butler! finally
I suppose there are no words to describe how much i was satisfy with the service! IT WAS AMAZING! INCREDIBLE!!
if only i could stay there for a longer period :)
Also Zahra made me Marriott card (finally somebody did it :)) . We decided to take 4 glasses of champagne (2 per each room) for free. We tried it when it was time to say goodbye... :(
 
Frankly speaking, it was really hard to leave this place. So many good memories, good people around me... I even was about to start crying when i was leaving. A man from Front Desk (i suppose he is a supervisor, i haven't noticed his name tag) was always nice with me and when he saw my sitting so sad he passed near me asking if i was fine . so nice

So that weekend passed so quickly, but don't worry i will write more about it ;)

p.s. in the evening you might receive some candies from housekeeping and in the morning you will receive a newspaper which was published in this hotel.




It was an amzing time!

P.p.s. and don't forget to leave some tips ;)


me in the room. the last shot
