Louvre area hotels 1st district

How is the Louvre area for staying? Shops? Restaurants? Late night ?





I am specifically looking at Hotel Des Tuileries just a couple blocks north of the Tuileries metro / Jardin Tuileries - Rue de Rivoli .





All responses greatly appreciated.

Very convenient area for the Louvre, river trips etc. Good metro links but bars and cafes are very expensive.

Hi! Just returned last night - stayed at the Hotel Intercontinental, which is right on Rue de Rivoli (intersection with Rue de Castiglione). The area is FANTASTIC if you are looking to do all the touristy things. We could walk to EVERYTHING - Notre Dame, Louvre, Eiffel tower, Orsay museum, etc. - except we did take a cab to Montemartre (about 11 euros). It is a bit expensive, and most of the cafes/etc. were closed up earlier than we expected. We had to walk up to the Opera district (about 5-10 minute walk) to find a few more restaurants %26amp; bars. Email me if you%26#39;d like more specifics!

I%26#39;d also appreciate any tips on reasonably priced restaurants and cafes in the Louvre area.

It can be a good area to stay in Paris...it is very central and very liveful....!!



I never heard about this hotel but I stayed once in Hotel du Continent, a beautiful 3 star hotel where I really appreciated my stay. It was quite calm even in this area, the staff really take care of you. Rates are affordable for an hotel located in this area and with that range of services.



http://www.hotel-du-continent.com is the website if you want to have a look at it.





Personnally, I enjoyed the area, there is a lot of things to see at walking distance and that%26#39;s why it is great!





Have a nice trip!
