If you arrive in Paris by car, the Hotel Novotel Paris 17 makes it easy: it is next to the ring road and has private parking. It is a 4-star hotel on avenue de la Porte d’Asnières in the 17th arrondissement, with a restaurant, bar and gym.
Location and getting around
It is at the northern end of the arrondissement, away from the historic centre. The Arc de Triomphe is about 35 minutes on foot and Gare Saint-Lazare about 40. For the Opéra Garnier or Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre, both about 3.1 km away, the Métro or a taxi is better.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have air conditioning, an LCD satellite TV, a free minibar and a tea and coffee set. The private bathroom has a bath or shower. There are rooms adapted for guests with reduced mobility.
The Bistro Carvi restaurant serves French food à la carte, at lunch and in the evening. The bar serves snacks during the day and cocktails at night. Breakfast combines hot and cold options. The gym is open 24 hours and wifi is free throughout the hotel.
Who it suits
- Anyone travelling by car who does not want to drive into the centre looking for parking.
- Guests who need an adapted room.
- Those who prefer to have dinner at the hotel after a day’s work.
- Anyone who works out at any hour.
Good to know
You can occupy the room from 14:00 and have until 12:00 to vacate it. At registration you will be asked for photo ID and a credit card.
