Good Hotel for Kids

Hi all,

Just wondering what hotels (central) might be good for kids,also does anyone know where the playgrounds in Paris are..

Thanks...

Before we lived here we would stay at the Hotel Lindbergh on the rue Chomel in the 7th. They have quad rooms, are VERY helpful and it is a charming little place.

Another popular TA address is the Hotel Chomel on the same street, although I have never stayed there myself.

This area is great because there are 4 parks within two blocks.

The Tuileries and Luxembourg Gardens are both within walking distance and you don%26#39;t even have to cross the street to choose between cafes.

There is lots to see/do near by but the street itself is dead at night, making for pleasant evenings.

Higher end, still nearby but on a busier street is the K + K Cayre Hotel.

The finest place to be with kids (lovely for parents too !) is probably near the Luxembourg garden (a lot of playgrounds, puppet shows, little boats sailing on the pond...).

You can try Pension LADAGNOUS, rue d%26#39;Assas (just opposite the Luxembourg garden) which offers the possibility of adjoining rooms for families.

I have a suggestion. We are a family of six (mom, dad and four daughters ages 15, 13, 10 and 2) and just returned from Europe, beginning and ending in Paris. We rented an apartment from ParisPerfect.com and it was great! It was a two-bedroom with a fold out bed in the living room with an incredible view of the Eiffel Tower. There was a complete kitchen (with every appliance you could think of, including a washer/dryer combo!) and two complete bathrooms, one with a shower/tub combo and one with a shower...and two toilettes. It was heaven! After a long day sightseeing we could come back and cook our own dinner or bring something in and have some time to unwind and not have to be on top of each other in a hotel room! They have quite a few apartments in different price ranges, but I gather they are all as nice as ours was. I cannot recommend them enough...they even sent a packet of info about the area you stay in with restaurant recommendations and places to shop and playgrounds. It made our stay in Paris one of the highlights of our trip!

Let me know if you need more info.

As suggested by previous poster debsunberg, check out the parisperfect.com web-site for paris apartments - they have the wow factor, in a great neighbourhood. May not be the cheapest option - but quality doesn%26#39;t often come cheap.

Thanks for all the help...I%26#39;m disappointed to see that the Lindbergh and the other hotel mentione dhaven%26#39;t yet replied to my emails..is this normal to take so long?

When booking in Europe I found that sometimes you had to send two or even three emails before they responded...you never know how hectic they are and what their staff is like in terms of who answers the emails. Just keep trying and mention (politely) that it is a second try and that you really would like to see if they have vacancies. A little sugar goes a long way!

We stayed at the Citadines , located between the Opera Garnier %26amp; the Madeleine. Rooms are Ok, small kitchen,breakfast is to expensive, but if you walk 2 minutes, for the same price as bkfast , you can find the best patisserie in paris ( located bewteen Concorde %26amp; the Madeleine on the left side when comming from Concorde. Be there at 10.00 sharp ,if you come late, you%26#39;ll wait, unique patisserie ( napoleonic style ) best croissants in paris , really .
