This summer our travels took us to Greece and France.  While my husband and I were in Paris we decided to stay at the Hôtel Bradford Elysées, and what a great decision it was.

The Bradford Elysées is ideally located between the Champs-Elysées and Arc de Triomphe, surrounded by a variety of shopping and fantastic restaurants.

The hotel boasts both modern and traditional touches with refined décor and modern wooden furniture. When you enter the hotel, you’ll be met with walls adorned by 18th century-style portraits of the Bradford family, setting the tone for the rest of your French getaway. You’ll enjoy beautiful common areas that comfortable and well-adorned.

Once you’ve checked in, the historical elevator (you know, the ones where you have to close the steel grate door before the lift can move) will take you up to your lovely room.  I’ve found that Paris hotel rooms, for the most part, are pretty small.  This hotel had surprising well-appointed spacious rooms, a calming color scheme, and a great selection of bathroom toiletries (which I definitely took back to Louisiana with me).  All together making for a most relaxing stay.

We had the pleasure of staying in Hôtel Bradford Elysées for four nights taking full advantage of the open bar and the morning breakfast buffet.
