Maison Astor Paris, Curio Collection by Hilton (Review)- Best Dog-Friendly 4 Star Hotel in Paris!

 maison astor paris hilton dog friendly hotel

Maison Astor might just be the best dog-friendly hotel that I’ve stayed in on my entire 6 month holiday in Europe. Built by John Jacob Astor IV, the 4 Star Curio Collection by Hilton property has an impressively rich history which dates back to 1907. Housing rooms in 9 categories, and suites in 4, the opulent Maison Astor is located on a quiet and safe street in the heart of Paris(8th arrondissement) between the Opera and Champs-Elysees. The magnificent hotel is the perfect base to explore popular attractions and visit luxury shopping streets such as Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Whether you're on a romantic honeymoon, or a relaxing vacation with your family and pup, Maison Astor promises a marvelous stay that you will remember for a long time to come.

A very warm welcome will embrace you the instant you step into the beautiful property. The staff are amazingly warm and attentive, and will definitely make you feel extremely at home and well taken care of. Check-in was smooth, fuss-free and I was grateful that my early check-in request was very kindly acceded to. The reception area was decked out in plush couches in hues that even the royals will approve of. If you require any assistance at all, the friendly staff are always ready to help!

We got a Premium Queen corner room and appreciated the peace and quiet that the room offered. Even though there are loads of rooms on every level, the soundproofing in the room is great so I didn't even hear any noise (and I'm an awfully light sleeper). Needless to say, and as expected of a Hilton property, the incredibly lush and cushy bed is dressed in the smoothest sheets, and screams comfort all around. Snuffles and I both had the best sleep! There's nothing quite like snuggling under comfy covers after a long day out and about exploring the City of Love.

The roomy bathroom offers premium Clarins products and thick great quality towels. There's also a spacious wardrobe that holds a safe, bathrobes, slippers, hangers, laundry bags and hairdryer. After loads of walking, I ran a nice long bath, before jumping into a bathrobe, and making myself a hot cuppa with the Nespresso machine. I was a little peckish and considered ordering some food from room service but I decided to wait for breakfast because I knew it would be awesome.

Breakfast

Maison Astor makes sure that breakfast is an exciting affair to look forward to. With a lovely glass roof and luxe cushions, the breakfast room certainly looks like it’s fit for royals. Build your own breakfast platter from a wide range of offerings such as viennoserie, yogurt, fruits, cold cuts, cheeses, cereal, jams, pancake, crepes, quiche, and cooked items(eggs, sausages, potatoes etc). Don't forget to pop by the dessert section which promises a tantalising selection of cakes and tarts that switches up daily. For beverages, expect different types of waters, juices, Comptoir Richard tea, and coffee.

Meeting Rooms

I didn't get to take a photo of the meeting rooms because there was an event going on, but the hotel apparently is a really popular choice for corporate events. Not a surprise considering its beauty and location! Everything at Maison Astor was tip top, and the competence and service standard of the staff here was especially commendable. From the number of guests we met during breakfast, and how the hotel constantly has stream of guests, we know that many feel the same way as we do about the impressive property. Your stay here won't be disappointing, that's for sure!
