Ambassador Hotel and Bvd Haussmann

Hello


I am visiting Paris for a few days next week, staying at the Ambassador Hotel on Boulevard Haussmann near the Opera - any advice on good, relatively cheap eating places in the area? Is there a supermarket nearby?


Although I have booked a non-smoking room with Eurostar, there is apparently no guarantee of getting one - any hints on how to ensure we get a non-smoking room on arrival?


Has anyone stayed at this hotel?



Thanks for any help.

Hi!


We stayed at the Ambassador 2 years ago. There is a good restaurant down the block - left when you leave the hotel called Bistro Romaine. It%26#39;s sort of the like the %26quot;Olive Garden%26quot; of Paris. Also nearby - across the street is a fast food Vietnamese restaurant, very good. I know it%26#39;s very American, but a few blocks away is the Hard Rock Cafe. That always provides decent meals at a fair price. Have fun!! On our last trip to Paris a few months ago we finally figured out where there are a TON a great reasonable restuarants - around the St. Michel area on the left bank. It%26#39;s worth the metro ride or long walk!

Hi!



Don%26#39;t know if you went to Paris yet or not, but I looked thru my travel notes and realized that the %26quot;Olive Garden%26quot; of Paris restuaraht%26#39;s name is Del Arte - not what I wrote before - that%26#39;s another restaurant. Same location as I described though. Sorry for the mix up! Not so serious! Hope you have fun. Sleep7
