Le Méridien Étoile

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Built in 1972, this vast hotel opposite the Palais des Congrès was the flagship of Air France's Le Méridien chain. Although it's now owned by Marriott, it still provides a direct shuttle to Charles de Gaulle airport. Its 1025 rooms include 23 suites. The sprawling lobby has a bar, a restaurant and a well-regarded jazz club with nightly performances.
