The Westin Paris Vendôme

The Westin Paris Vendôme
75001 Paris

The Westin was not my first choice, but some of the nice boutique hotels in the 6th and 8th had suites that were either unavailable or ridiculously priced.  With a new batch of 10 SPG Suite Night Awards and The Westin at only 232€ with lots of suite avails, it seemed like a much better deal than 1,500€ across the street at Le Meurice.  Even Mrs. SFO agreed, shrewdly figuring that some of the money saved on the hotel might be applied to shopping. :cool:

Obviously not in the same league as Le Meurice or FS Georges V, it is comfortable, has a pleasant bar and great location across from the Jardin des Tuileries and two blocks from Place Vendôme and Place de la Concorde.  Our Junior Suite was more than adequate for a short stay.

We had set aside the first afternoon for "shopping" or as I figured it... "let's get it out the way".  Since it was a short flight with not much sleep, we decided to take our power nap before heading out.  In fact, Mrs. SFO was so tired that she amazingly asked "Do we have to go shopping today?" :)
