This hotel came up as a suggestion from Amex fine hotels and resorts. Having stayed at Delano in Miami, I thought I would give it a try. First impressions were not great. The reception area is very odd and cramped. You feel you are in a residential building rather than a hotel- staff are hidden behind a strange wall. You immediately knew you were not in a 5 star hotel, but the lady at check in was wonderful. Despite it being 2pm, my room was not ready so I went to the restaurant for some lunch. This was not a great experience. I think the set up is for people to share - but I don’t think it had crossed their mind someone might eat there alone. Basically the only option was starters of which I chose three. They were all awful!! So much so that I did not eat them - not that that phased the staff as no one asked me if anything was wrong. Thankfully the bread was nice. However, I must say that breakfast was really good just don’t have lunch or dinner in the restaurant my stomach still turns at the thought of one of the dishes. The room was ready, and it was a very stunning room. Large for Paris I would say and super comfortable. The only issue I had was the temperature, it was very hot and I think the AC was not working, but as it was november I just opened the windows. I would not book this hotel again. It is soulless and public areas are cold and dead. Perhaps it is way better in summer, but it felt like I was staying at an air b&b. There are SO many better hotels in Paris.
