Thirty rooms, a buffet breakfast and Gare Saint-Lazare five minutes away: that sums up the Hotel de Genève Paris, a 3-star hotel on Rue de Londres, in the 9th arrondissement. It is a good fit if you arrive by train from Normandy or western France, or want the department stores of Boulevard Haussmann close by.
Location and getting around
The address is 36 Rue de Londres. In a straight line, Gare Saint-Lazare is about 5 minutes’ walk away and the Opéra Garnier about 10. It is about 30 minutes on foot to the Musée d’Orsay and about 35 to the Louvre, so for the museums the Métro is better. According to the property, the Galeries Lafayette are about 10 minutes’ walk away and Place Vendôme 1.2 km.
Rooms and facilities
The hotel has 30 rooms. A buffet breakfast is served in the morning.
According to the property, staff speak English, French and Italian, which is handy if you do not speak French.
