Renaissance Arc De Triomphe Hotel Paris France: Modern, stylish and great location

The Renaissance Arc De Triomphe opened in May 2009. It is in a fabulous location near (as the name says!) to the Arc De Triomphe, and so is very central and accessible to all the central attarctions.

The bar just off the lobby very trendy, and the restaurant is as well. The rooms are large for Paris, with st…
