When my wife and I want to hide away, we check in to the Le Faubourg Paris Sofitel Demeure Hotel, a pleasing Parisian getaway in the heart of the city (and close to the Champs-Elysees and the Place de la Concorde). We can stay connected via high-speed Internet access, but why would we want to, when we can dine at Cafe Faubourg, shop at exclusive boutiques (think Hermes and Cartier), roam through the Louvre and Orsay Museums and indulge in massages at the fitness center. For a romantic evening, stop by Bar 30 for innovative cocktails and live piano music.

Situated between the Place de la Concorde and the Faubourg St. Honore, a few steps from the Champs-Elysees, Hotel Sofitel Le Faubourg is positioned in the heart of Paris' prestigious business and diplomatic district. The hotel occupies two buildings dating back from the 18th and 19th centuries which used to house the Hotel St. Honore and the Marie-Claire group.

The hotel has 154 "Faubourg" rooms, 10 junior suites, 6 executives, 3 duplex and 1 apartment. Guestroom amenities include mini-bar, safe, desk, 3 telephones with voice mail, data ports and fax connection, satellite television and internet access, video games, twice daily housekeeping service, complimentary newspaper, bathrobes and 100% cotton towels.

Cafe Faubourg, overlooking the courtyard garden, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Enjoy afternoon tea in The Library, overlooking the main lobby, with its relaxing atmosphere, sumptuously illustrated books, the strains of the piano and the crackle of the log fire. Bar 30 offers light breakfast and lunch, afternoon tea, cocktails and a jazz piano in the evenings.

Other services and amenities include a fitness centre with steam bath, 24-hour room service, 24-hour Concierge, valet parking, express check-in and check-out, laundry/dry cleaning service and secretarial and translation service.
