Radisson Blu Hotel Champs Elysées, Paris
78bis Avenue Marceau (8º Arr) Paris – FR-75008
Radisson Blu Hotel Champs Elysees is located in the heart of Paris, only minutes away from the iconic Arc De Triomphe and providing great views of this Paris attraction. A standard award room at this hotel costs 70,000 Club Carlson points (for standard award and 105,000 for premium award) at the new redemption rate. We redeemed for 50,000 Club Carlson points/night for standard award and 75,000 for premium award in July 2014. If you have Club Carlson credit card, the last night during each stay is complimentary.
The location of the hotel is excellent in that it is a few minutes walk away from the nearest metro station, Charles de Gaulle Etoile that gives you direct access to Metro lines 1, 2, 6 and RER line A.
We had booked 2 rooms – one with double bed (Premium award) and one with queen bed (Standard award) as the standard award was sold out after first booking. The welcome amenity included one bottled water and 3 macarons which were delicious.
There room was very elegant with hardwood floors and wood accent on walls.
The best feature of the room was the view of the Arc de Triomphe.
The premium award room is eligible for complimentary breakfast for two. The breakfast restaurant is in the ground floor past the front desk.
The complimentary breakfast is sit-down and has a set menu – bread, fruit plate, juice, one type of egg, bacon and sausage and coffee/tea.
