If you like 5 Star DONT stay here
First let me warn you. I usually stay at 5 star properties such as Four Seasons George V, and Raffles so my view may be skewed. I thought the Lutetia was a DUMP. There rooms are old and run down. Several items including the TV did NOT work. The staff was OK, but not great. This is an over hyped hotel that I would NEVER stay in again. I recommend the Ritz or George V.

Luxurious.
We stayed at this hotel which we found to be very central. Ideal from a tourist aspect in terms of rail, bus, metro services literally at the door. The suite was superb, great views and well decorated - room service excellent. The brassery restaurant was only o.k. It lacked both atmosphere and style; service was adequate quality of food not great and was expensive. The bar area was small and in my opinion inadequate for the size of the hotel. Bar staff seemed to lack motivation. Reception was helpful and well trained. Would certainly go back again and have already recommended this hotel to a number of our friends since our return to Ireland.
Recommended this hotel to a number of people.

A Paris Landmark
I'd always known that Hotel Lutetia was something special. When the likes of Hemingway frequent one's bar, everything around it is bound to be special. The hotel has been renovated assumingly quite recently, although our room seemed to be getting a little ´rusty. The lobby and the reception are an example of the perfect art deco styling. Can’t complain about the service.
