I had a mostly fantastic experience at L'Empire Paris - Louvre. The location is perfect, with easy access to major attractions like the Louvre and Notre Dame. The rooms are spacious, clean, and follow a trendy Parisian aesthetic, providing a comfortable stay. However, the happy hour promotion could use improvement, as the bar seemed limited in drink options. Overall, I feel confident recommending this hotel, especially for its really good staff who truly made my visit special.
