Editorial
Hotel overview
This modern 4-star hotel sits in the commercial heart of Nanterre, offering a well-maintained and clean environment ideal for business or short leisure stays. Its proximity to Paris La Défense Arena and the RER A station makes commuting into central Paris or business hubs highly convenient. Rooms offer contemporary design, spacious layouts, and soundproofing for added comfort, though some may find them more suited to brief stays than extended visits.
The hotel features practical amenities such as free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fitness center, and a kid-friendly atmosphere. Its pet-friendly policy adds flexibility for travelers accompanied by furry companions. Onsite dining options include a restaurant and bar, while business travelers benefit from a dedicated business center and room service. Parking is not available, and there is no pool or airport shuttle service, but easy public transit connections compensate.
Though the surrounding district is predominantly commercial and lacks the charm of central Paris neighborhoods, it remains safe and clean. Visitors appreciate the professionalism of the staff and the calm, modern setting after busy days exploring or working in the Paris region.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I had a very pleasant experience here. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the hotel itself is very well maintained, clean, modern, and comfortable. The location is a bit far from the main tourist spots in Paris, but it’s perfect if you’re traveling for work. Being right next to the RER A is a huge plus, and it’s only one stop from La Défense, which made commuting extremely easy. Overall, a solid stay and I’d happily return for business trips.”
“We stayed there as a family of four during the easter weekend. Even though Paris was very crowded the hotel was fine. We always got a table in the breakfast restaurant area. The service was very friendly. The room decently cleaned. The area is a business area and not a cozy neighbourhood of course but with the RER A getting around was perfectly fine. Once we returned back to the hotel in the afternoon - the other days we just stayed in the city. The area felt safe and clean as well.”
“The hotel was great! Good breakfast,good rooms ,nice staff,luxurious and great location . But the downfalls are that the room is very small and the lift takes very long too come down. So would recommend for a 1-5 day stay in Nanterre and Paris ROOM 521”
