Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile is a 34-story high-rise hotel in the 17th arrondissement tailored to business travelers and loyalty members. Guests praise the sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower and efficient air conditioning during warm weather. However, reviewers consistently complain that the compact rooms feel cramped and that king-size beds are often just two smaller beds pushed together. Weekend guests also report thumping noise from the club above and occasional delays with the digital panel elevator system. 29812

- “From our higher floor vantage point, we enjoyed the cityscape view, that included a distant view of the Sacré-Cœur.” 8
- “what is breathtaking is a view of the city from above while you can relax eat and get a great view of the Eiffel tow power as well” On camera152:52
- “The 34-story Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile offers guestrooms with stunning panoramic views over the city. This includes views of the iconic Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.” 12
- “@Matthew anywhere you can get a view of the Eiffel Tower is amazing, but the Westin Paris Vendome offered the closest and best views of the Eiffel Tower!” 24
- “The real amenity here is elevation and the view, which is not something most city hotels can offer. The 34 floors put it in a category of its own in a low-rise city.” 5
- “The interior of the hotel felt clean and modern with an impressive view of the Eiffel Tower both from the rooms and from the lounge.” 6
- “Right down the hall is Bar La Vue which follows the curvature of the top of the hotel to give a great panoramic view of the city.” 23
- “The furnishings are clean and modern, and the view (from the 22nd floor) is outstanding.” 9
- “If you book or apply through them I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and I only recommend what I would use myself. This is one of the only true high-rise hotels in Paris, and the Eiffel Tower view rooms deliver a skyline you cannot get anywhere else in the city.” 5

- “The designer rooms, although a little small in size, boast elegant furniture, including a writing table and wooden accents.” 12

- “king bed nice big flat screen television but really the biggest highlight of the room is this view of the tower in all of paris which is very unique” On camera132:36
- “I believe that fitting 3 people, even small kids, into a room at the HR Paris Etoile would be challenging. Yeah it's challenging with two, especially if you have any luggage at all. I can't imagine 3 nights with 3 people.” 19
- “The beds were comfortable and our space included an average-sized desk, which supported a flat-screen TV and a small cocktail table and side chair.” 7
- “Again, the best part of the room was the amazing views, both at night and during the day:” 24
- “The bathroom is cramped, and there aren't many surfaces to lay out all your beauty accoutrements. There's a coffee machine, but it only makes powdered coffee... maybe I'm spoiled, but a Nespresso machine would really hit the spot.” 9
- “My room, 2615, was quite small, but had an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower.” 24
- “Once the common areas are finished, the whole thing will be pretty swanky. However, until that point, I'd recommend other accommodations, since the disjointed layout (not to mention the construction noise between 10 and 6) take away from the experience.” 9
- “The room itself also didn't disappoint. Even though the room wasn't very big, it was certainly big enough for only myself. And more important, everything looked fresh, new and clean!” 21
- “they upgraded me to a King and as you can see the room is spacious and well appointed” On camera250:08
- “Floor-to-ceiling windows highlighted one of the hotel's best features ... the spectacular views overlooking Paris. For example, we enjoyed unobstructed views of the city from our room.” 7
- “The bed has floor lighting that's motion-activated, so if you get up in the night, you won't trip over the crap you left all over the floor.” 9
- “The decor felt simple but tasteful.” 6
- “🙂 We were in 3312 (junior suite) over valentines week. We were in 3312 (junior suite) over valentines week. Good room with great view, exactly as your picture captures.” 18
- “The other notable difference was the view. This room faced the Eiffel Tower and was a real treat to have this view nightly.” 6
- “The suite, on the other hand, was huge.” 4
- “Most of the rooms at the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile are small. Unless you are in a suite, you may find the rooms a bit cramped.” 11
- “While the room had a little wear and tear all of the soft goods (bedding, towels) were great and there were plenty of electrical outlets as well as a refrigerator.” 18
- “Pro tip: Standard rooms here are very small. If you can swing it-either with points, a suite upgrade, or a paid upgrade-I highly recommend booking a suite for a much more comfortable stay.” 4
- “Some nitpicks: the desk is really shallow, so if you're the type that does a lot of work in hotels, you might get annoyed that there isn't enough space.” 9
- “Then head to the elevator that had the given letter, which was a minor annoyance. We stepped into our assigned room 1819, and it was a bit too cozy with limited square footage.” 8
- “Storage space included a large closet / wardrobe that, while deep and spacious, seemed to be oddly designed (e.g. in order to maximize the full use of the space one had to nearly climb inside to slide your belongs into the back compartment.)” 7
- “The views from this room faced no tall buildings, but still this isn't the side of the building you want to be on.” 6
- “In fact, this interaction typified the service throughout our stay - business-like but not warm. Our assigned Twin Club room was small but efficient.” 7
- “It's a solid option for a quick getaway or for travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring rather than lingering in the room. Our assigned room was clean, well-maintained, and adequate for a brief stay.” 8
- “Near the entrance door was a closet with a robe, slippers, an ironing board, and an electric kettle. We had the most difficulty finding a good place to open our bags, and this is where we found the room to be the tightest, between bags arranged on the floor, on the desk, and on the sofa.” 2
- “Honestly, I feel like I failed my family of five followers a bit by not looking into it more. That said, I'm still glad we were able to enjoy the Eiffel Tower view from the club room-it definitely added a memorable touch to our stay.” 4
- “While the room had a little wear and tear all of the soft goods (bedding, towels) were great and there were plenty of electrical outlets as well as a refrigerator. It truly was a lovely room to stay in for our 5-day stop in Paris. The views on a clear day were brilliant.” 18
- “One minor issue: the pull-out sofa wasn't made up, and I didn't realize it until after 11 p.m. When I called down, they sent someone up to prepare the bed, but it took about 45 minutes.” 4
- “The club room had one king bed and, while fairly compact, the Eiffel Tower view made it feel special.” 4
- “With the adjoining restaurant/lounge open for seating in the morning, there was plenty of space for everyone. I'm a fan of the decor here and felt like I could spend all day here.” 6
- “the room is spacious enough that includes a bed for two and a small couch and since I got upgraded to a suite I had access to a second individual bathroom and a living area that included a couch and a pull out B head and included a pullout bed behind the couch and of course the view of the eiel Tower” On camera151:06
- “And here you have a sofa and I guess that's supposedly a work desk. I don't know how you could work there, but I guess theoretically you could, or you should theoretically.” On camera171:53
- “I stayed here over a year ago and I had asked for a crib for our kid. We decided to just have him sleep with us because we had no room to move around with the crib due to the room being so small.” 19
- “Using a Hyatt suite award (or points upgrade) will give a room that fits a family of four. There are a few shortcomings at the hotel, including a subpar evening lounge experience and that the hotel may not be close to all the tourist activities.” 6
- “it's possible to make the room constantly 65 degrees (a blessing when it's in the 90s outside).” 9
- “an option to book a room that fits up to four guests, this is a great option especially for families.” 10
- “For this stay, I had a Deluxe Room with a king bed and a view of the Eiffel Tower on the 32nd floor. No upgrade to a suite this time, but the room was great.” 11
- “The room was small and utilitarian, but it served our purposes well for light work and sleep.” 2
- “The rooms come with tea kettles and tea and instant coffee packets. My room also had an Illy coffee maker, which I appreciated.” 11
- “The wifi is free and fast, and there are plenty of outlets (including USB outlets, cutting down on the need for travel adapters). There's a mini-fridge, though no minibar - nice for my wallet but annoying when I want a drink and have a 25-minute round trip down to the cafe in the mall to get one.” 9
- “After checking in, I headed to my room and the view from the room was spectacular! I didn't expect that! Seeing the Tour d'Eiffel like this was amazing. And not just the Tour d'Eiffel! You could also spot the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees.” 21
- “Inside, the room felt to be on the smaller side but consistent with European standards.” 6
- “the best part of the room is this view that's right it has an Eiffel Tower view it was amazing to be able to watch the tower lights every evening and the sunrise over the Tower every morning from my window” On camera250:13
- “The desk is a tad narrow but there is a universal outlet next to it, making it easier to power devices.” 6
- “The bathrooms and in-room amenities are functional and clean, in line with what you would expect from a modern Hyatt Regency.” 5
- “The room was very clean, but a bit small compared to the one I stayed at in London (hyatt house stratford)” 1

- “I paid over 700 euros for a brief stay at the Hyatt Regency that turned out to be quite an inconvenience.” 24
- “Etoille and Louvre seem to be the best value in redemptions in Paris (especially so after the two upcoming renovations).” 18
- “Overall value: $1500 for 68K points Elite status: early check-in, breakfast, and lounge access. This hotel is not located in the more touristy areas, but the value was fantastic.” 20
- “We paid $322.56 per night for two nights in the middle of July. That's a major bargain, considering rates can be as high as $598 a night in September.” 11
- “I'm not going to tell you it was a bargain, but the service was actually very attentive. We were absolutely under-dressed compared to the other people there but the staff didn't even look sideways at us.” 23
- “So many people choose the high-end resorts in the center of town, but you can't beat this hotel for the value in points, ease of transportation to all parts of the city, and feeling like a local wandering around the hotel.” 1
- “Overall, I found the breakfast experience disappointing and not worth the 32 €/person.” 8
- “Elena, this property exceeded my expectations in just about every way. It's not that I didn't love Vendome (who wouldn't?). But, as you say, this property is sneaky cheap at certain times of the year, both for cash rates and award redemptions.” 18
- “What did catch our eye, however, were the reasonable cash rates at a Hyatt property in the northwest part of the city, not far from the Arc de Triomphe.” 2
- “The Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile is a good value with sweeping views of Paris.” 11
- “It is too far to walk anywhere other than Arc de Triomphe and requires use of public transit for almost every activity. It is really far from Charles De Gaulle Airport If you are tired and not keen on taking public transit from the airport, I can imagine a taxi would be very expensive.” 20
- “Like other Paris hotels, this one is expensive. You won't find many nights for less than $475, and while that's not outrageous for Paris, there are cheaper options out there.” 11
- “You'll find a grab-and-go outlet called Mayo Market in the lobby immediately off the entrance to the hotel. The market is open 24/7 and it sells everything from snacks to coffee to wine, though it's pricey.” 11
- “I accepted the switch (room prices appeared to be comparable between the two options) and thanked the rep for being proactive and offering an alternative.” 6
- “The king-size bed is actually two double beds pushed together - not unusual for Europe but also not something I expect at hotels that are this expensive.” 9
- “We went back a couple weeks ago and stayed at the hotel du louvre (a Hyatt hotel) and, while obviously on a different level, liked that one more (in terms of value and charm).” 18
- “But, as you say, this property is sneaky cheap at certain times of the year, both for cash rates and award redemptions.” 18
- “The Eiffel Tower view room was the most affordable option during my stay, but I'd consider rebooking it again, even if it were more expensive. The view is unbeatable.” 2
- “When you consider that the Park Hyatt is twice the points, this property can be a real value, and still well located.” 18
- “what was the cash price well because it's being slightly inflated with the event it comes around $ 400ish $500 but tremendous value and I also got upgrade to a Regency Suite which shows even more value I got overall for my two nights” 15
- “The cash and points rates were reasonable, and the Category 4 hotel presents a great opportunity to redeem a free night certificate.” 2
- “Don't ask how much I paid for this place. Well, I'll tell you. It was nearly $400. That's simply not worthwhile, but on a busy weekday when the majority of hotels were sold out in Paris, I had to take what I could get.” 24
- “Redeeming points at this hotel was an excellent value. Standard rooms typically go for $400-$700 per night, and suites can run $700-$1,300+.” 4

- “When you consider that the Park Hyatt is twice the points, this property can be a real value, and still well located.” 23
- “The location is imperfect, and the building itself is a bit unseemly, but the incredible views from its rooms more than make up for its "jolie laide" appearance.” 11
- “Neighborhood walkable, easy access to several restaurants, brasseries, and coffee shops” 20
- “The Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile is located in the 17th arrondissement, a short walk from the adjacent Porte Maillot station on Line 1 of the Paris Métro. For the most part, I walked everywhere from the Arc de Triomphe (20 minutes) to the Eiffel Tower (under 50 minutes) to the Louvre (just over an hour). Most walks were easy to navigate, and I felt safe doing so.” 2
- “I would not consider this hotel to be similar based quality or location. Just my opinion. Not walking distance to any of the attractions that we wanted to see.” 1
- “Here's why the location of the Hyatt Regency is bad: it's really far away from most of those attractions. It's nice to have direct access, but you're looking at a 20-30 minute ride each way.” 9
- “The hotel is part of the Palais de Congrès, one of the city's congress centers. As such it's easily reachable with public transport. The Neuilly Porte Maillot RER/Subway station is next door and you can walk directly from the station to the hotel via the congress center and a small shopping mall.” 21
- “Unfortunately, the hotel is not close to any nice restaurants. There is a mall within walking distance, but I just ate at the hotel.” 24
- “It was about a 5-7 minute walk to the station. You have an option to walk through the mall connected with the hotel. We felt very safe walking around the area.” 10
- “For the duration of our stay, we easily caught the trains at the nearby Metro stations near the hotel. It was about a 5-7 minute walk to the station.” 10
- “The location isn't exactly in the center of Paris, but that means you'll likely get more hotel for the money (or points).” 11
- “However, guests will need to set their expectations for the stay. The hotel is not located in a central touristy area, so pack your sneakers or familiarize yourself with the Paris Métro (which often had the same estimated ti” 2
- “Public transportation is easily accessible via the Port Maillot Metro and RER (regional commuter train) stations which are located in the shopping mall connected to the building.” 7
- “We were supposed to be at the Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra or similar hotel. I would not consider this hotel to be similar based quality or location. Just my opinion. Not walking distance to any of the attractions that we wanted to see.” 1
- “The location is also something you'll need to consider. The actual surroundings of the hotel are fine, but some effort will be required to get around.” 9
- “Transit is the real selling point of the location. There is a Metro station and an RER commuter rail stop right outside the door, which makes both airport transfers and day trips simple.” 5
- “Some folks complain about the location of the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile since it's not right in the heart of Paris, but I didn't find the location that much of a drawback.” 11
- “it's Loc Lo at in the 15th rism and there's a metro station less than a quar of a mile away which makes it great for touring the city” On camera250:59
- “Thanks to our Globalist status, we were upgraded to a room with an Eiffel Tower view and a larger suite. This hotel is located just outside the main city center, but it's only about an 8-minute walk to the nearest train station, making it easy to get around.” 4
- “The hotel is in the 17th arrondissement, a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe and the top of the Champs Elysees. This is a calmer, more residential part of Paris than the tourist core, which I actually prefer at the end of a long sightseeing day.” 5
- “While not centrally located, the hotel is near major metro stations and offers relatively easy access to Paris attractions.” 11
- “The shopping mall it's connected to was pretty cool as well. Easy access to the Metro and a short walk to the Arc.” 23
- “While the hotel isn't in a central location, there is a metro station just steps away, providing connections to other parts and attractions throughout Paris.” 8
- “Here's why the location of the Hyatt Regency is good: it's right next to both the Métro line 1 and the RER C train.” 9

- “Among the offerings are a fruit bar, salad bar, pastry bar and much more. There are also gluten-free items. I tried the croque-monsieur, which was rich and delicious (and a whopping $28).” 11
- “The breakfast spread is pretty good - not quite up to Park Hyatt standards, but not actually that far off.” 9
- “At breakfast, however, the doors between the club and the Skybar are opened, and you can enjoy seating with those stunning Eiffel Tower views-definitely a highlight!” 4
- “The breakfast selection was more than ample for a lounge offering. The selection of fresh juices alone numbered at least half a dozen each day.” 23
- “Smoked salmon tends to be my protein of choice at a lounge breakfast and the salmon here tasted fresh.” 6
- “FTG, if you've never done Vendome then you're making the right decision. It's a great hotel with a great breakfast.” 18
- “Unlike a number of Manhattan hotels I've stayed in where the bagels are horrible, I will say that the Hyatt Regency Etoile serves quality french pastry.” 23
- “We chose the buffet most days because the selection was fantastic with plenty of vegetarian options.” 20
- “Breakfast offerings included a small selection of eggs, bacon, pastries, cold cuts, and cheeses. We didn't care for the food (especially the croissants-we had high hopes!), but the convenience and views still gave the experience some value.” 4
- “My family enjoyed the evening appetizers, but none of us was very impressed with the breakfast. The food was pretty mediocre, though the views helped make up for it.” 4
- “The Windo Skybar is billed as the highest bar in Paris. It's next door to the Regency Club on the 34th floor. The space actually gets turned over to the Regency Club for breakfast in the mornings. There is a full bar, and it also serves a variety of tapas. You won't find better views in Paris, in my humble opinion.” 11
- “The lounge was a nice place to write postcards or have a cup of coffee. However, we skipped its breakfast offerings since the wait for seating in the morning seemed long with a line that extended out the door.” 7
- “The Mayo restaurant is located next to the lobby. I visited the restaurant in the evening and it's the perfect place to get something to eat after you just arrived, it's already late and you don't want to head out to the city.” 21
- “The Regency Club is certainly a bonus for Globalists or guests booked in Club-level rooms, but the food options were repetitive, and the evening service consisted more of light bites than a full dinner.” 2
- “The selection was very good, I thought, for a lounge. Furthermore, the quality of the food was also excellent. I enjoyed fresh-pressed juices, scrambled eggs, and berries.” 24
- “The food in the lounge is a buffet with a decent spread. The pastries were delicious, with only a slight variation daily.” 6
- “Here are some of the pics I took of the club and its views. They also have breakfast option down in the Mayo market in their ground floor. That one has a bit more selection for breakfast and is also really good.” 1
- “Afternoon snack selection was also quite good but the dinner snacks/food option was lacking and were more so mainly for snacking and drinking.” 1
- “Mayo offers a buffet spread, with a live egg station to order eggs where dishes are prepared to order. One disappointment was the use of liquid eggs, rather than fresh eggs for omelettes.” 8
- “The lounge - looking forward to you review but in my opinion was the worst I have experienced, both food and condition of the lounge.” 18
- “On top of that, they have a great breakfast selection - if you appreciate the French pastries!” 21
- “Overall, I found the breakfast experience disappointing and not worth the 32 €/person.” 8
- “As a cheese lover, I was underwhelmed by the limited selection given it's a 4 star hotel in Paris. That said, they did have a wide selection of fresh fruits, veggies, cold cuts and pastries.” 8
- “I don't really care about suites when it's just my wife and I but just the free breakfast along at PHV is a homerun so I'm happy.” 18
- “Etoile has an amazing Regency Club with the most dramatic setting for breakfast I've seen.” 11
- “The breakfast and lounge cannot be beat for the value and quality of food/service.” 20
- “The spread consisted of cold wraps, pressed sandwiches, dips, nuts, chips, cold cuts, whole fruits, and mediocre desserts. These exact items from the first night were on repeat when we visited on our third night. No hot items and just lots of finger foods. My friend was not impressed.” 2
- “If you want the views, go to the Regency Club. I did. I had coffee and pastry and I enjoyed the views of Paris. It's not every morning that I get to see the Eiffel Tower.” 10
- “Additionally, the hotel features the MAYO restaurant in the lobby, offering a welcoming atmosphere and delicious cuisine.” 12
- “and here's the breakfast downstairs in the morning so huge buffet lots of guests here at the hotel's pretty big hotel so definitely worth checking out if you're a globalist or if you just want to pay for a nice buffet breakfast” On camera131:46
- “The spread was certainly not enough for a full meal, but nevertheless quite tasty for pre-dinner snacks.” 24
Service30 mentions

- “Check-in was smooth, and the staff were friendly.” 4
- “I've enjoyed several visits to the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile now, and I've always had great service at the hotel and continue to recommend it to others, especially World of Hyatt fans.” 11
- “The staff at the hotel is amazing though, incl lounge.” 18
- “The service at the Hyatt Regency was great, even though we didn't have many requests during our stay.” 4

- “The views of the Eiffel from the are great, but I would advise travelers to book at a different hotel because the Hyatt's service has been truly distasteful.” 24
- “Our check-in was handled quickly, efficiently and in a polite manner. However, given that the hotel was quite full for the New Year holiday and very busy there wasn't much time for warmth or personalization. In fact, this interaction typified the service throughout our stay - business-like but not warm.” 7
- “Despite the scale of the hotel, the service is friendly and warm.” 11
- “Upon arrival at the Hyatt Hotel the staff took over one-hour-thirty-minutes to check me in and bring my luggage up to my room.” 24

- “The front desk associate was friendly and mentioned that we had been upgraded to a high floor room with a city view.” 8
- “Although I don't disagree with any of the points you made in your review, I would add that the staff were absolutely lovely and helpful, and the view of Montmartre from our 12th floor room was beautiful.” 9
- “The service matched what you would expect from a large, well-run Hyatt Regency, professional and efficient rather than intimate. Given the scale of the property, the staff kept things moving smoothly.” 5
- “We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hyatt Regency Etoile. We found the staff to be inviting and helpful, especially the staff in the lounge. They were really over the top.” 23

Bathroom13 mentions · 1 filmed

- “the bathroom was well appointed if a bit oddly laid out but it was very spacious” On camera250:29
- “I loved the bathroom amenities from designer and perfume maker Pascal Morabito. Unlike most hotels these days, the bathroom shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are yours to take home, and I highly recommend taking a few with you.” 11
- “The bathroom and the whole room are pretty small, which is expected for Paris, and the euro-style shower has a removable head you have to balance rather than a fixed mount, not my favorite, though the water pressure was good.” 5

- “Bathroom was convenient and again, everything looked clean and fresh. This was a lot better than I expected!” 21

- “The bathroom felt very modern.” 6
Noise5 mentions
- “Once the common areas are finished, the whole thing will be pretty swanky. However, until that point, I'd recommend other accommodations, since the disjointed layout (not to mention the construction noise between 10 and 6) take away from the experience.” 9
- “Weekends were a nightmare with loud thumping music from the club above our roof.” 18
- “The elevator system was one where we had to enter our floor number on a digital panel to be assigned a letter. Then head to the elevator that had the given letter, which was a minor annoyance.” 8
- “Sounds like we had a better experience at PHV than you. They doted on our daughter.” 18
- “By contrast, Mayo was loud and bustling, with a busy queue to enter.” 2
Bed & Sleep2 mentions

- “I am just hoping that Platinum status will result in an "upgrade" to a bed that a husband and wife can both fit in. It is disheartening that all award rooms at this hotel are two twin beds a la 1950s sit com.” 18
