Located on Rue de Parme, close to La Defense and Opera Garnier, the Pavillon de Paris is perfect for the tech-savvy business worker. This affordable and stylish hotel has honed service for its corporate clientele to a Zen-like discipline. It offers a minimalist style evocative of Japanese efficiency, down to its lobby composed of nothing but square shapes and sharp, vibrant tones of red, brown and mulberry. The high-tech, business-friendly style includes a fax and modem in all of the 30 spacious bedrooms. Efficiency is the dominant theme in both room design and service. Striped bedspreads in cream and taupe or taupe and hunter green, along with dark wood beams and headboards, create a juxtaposition that is calming rather than jarring. Although there is no full-service restaurant at the Pavillon de Paris, the staff can deliver meals from local restaurants by request. The comfy coffee lounge and pop-modern bar are welcome respites from business meetings, with unusual touches including Buddha statues. A cozy breakfast room looks onto a central courtyard and garden for refreshing moments of reflection.
