Better still, it’s just across the river from the Eiffel Tower, a short walk from the Trocadéro gardens and an easy walk to the Champs-Élysées; a few blocks away is the vast expanse of the Bois de Boulogne.

Free wifi. The hotel also has a green policy: everything is recycled, it uses renewable energy and eco-friendly detergents.
