Hilton Hotel

Hilton Hotel

I stayed in the Hilton Hotel at Charles De Gaulle Airport, as it was close to both the airport and the exhibition hall our company were exhibiting at.

The hotel is quite large, and I had an executive room on the seventh floor. There are glass elevators to take you up to your room, so you can peer into the large atrium as you rise.

My room was large, with twin beds with side tables, and a large desk with high-speed Internet access, phone, etc. The TV has movie channels and you can see your bill on screen. Unfortunately I did not have the luxury of having the time to view the films, so not sure how recent they are, etc.

I also had two full-length wardrobes, drawers, and a minibar. Each day a “gift” was left in the room. The first night it was chocolates - very welcome, then came fruit, then chocolate biscuits and so on, a nice touch. There was also chocolate, alcoholic and soft drinks in the minibar (charge applies).

The bathroom was also very large with separate shower cubicle, large bath and vanity area. If you forget your socket adaptors, they can provide them for you. You also get a lovely bathrobe to use during your stay.

So that's the good about the hotel, now the bad. I did not get a kettle in my room, although I did have tea and coffee making pack. I phoned down to ask for a kettle and was told one would be sent up. I had to go out in the evening so expected it to be there on my return, it wasn't. The following day, I again phoned to ask for a kettle, again I was told one would be sent up, it wasn't. On the third evening, I again phoned and this time one was delivered about an hour later.

Also, I did not have an iron or ironing board provided in my room, although all my colleagues did. I did not bother phoning down for this as I did not need to use it, but one should have been provided. I also found out on our last night that colleagues also had slippers provided, I did not. Had I have known I could have had these I would have requested them as the marble floor in the bathroom can be a little cool in the morning.

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Hilton

To get to the hotel from Paris, follow Peripherique to Porte de la Chapelle and Route A1 in the direction of the airport, then take airport exit from A1, follow signs to Roissypole. The hotel is on the lefthand side. You can also get to the hotel by taking RER B in the direction of Charles de Gaulle airport, exit Terminal 1.

If you guarantee your room with a credit card, they will wait for you no matter how late you arrive.

From the outside, the hotel is a gray modern building, without any distinctive architecture. Parking is 25 euros/night. There is a free-of-charge shuttle between the hotel and the airport available between 6am and midnight every 20-30 minutes every day, so you don’t need a car at the hotel. The shuttle picks you up at the following locations at CDG: Terminal 1 at gate 8 of the arrival level, Terminals 2A and 2C at gate 5, Terminals 2B and 2D at gate 6, Terminal 2F at gate 8 of the arrival level.

This was the first time I was upgraded to the Executive Suite. The room cost over 500 euros/night, and it was truly luxury accommodations - a very large suite with a king-size bed and an extra rollaway as I asked. In addition, there were two large, comfortable armchairs, a table, a minibar, a TV, and a wall-wide window that you could close with the drapes if you didn’t enjoy the view of the airport. The furniture was wood laminates with bird’s-eye design. The bed was very comfortable. There was also a large entrance-lobby with two wardrobes with hangers, a safe, an iron and ironing board. The bathroom had a bathtub and a shower, toilet, one sink with large countertop and mirror, nice fluffy towels, terrycloth robes, slippers, shampoo/conditioner/bath gel, sewing kit, and hair dryer. The reception is the 0th (ground) floor, along with the restaurant and public phones. Also, there are elevators with glass walls and several conference rooms. On Sunday, there was no concierge, so if you need some help with checking your plane schedule or making reservations for restaurants or the opera in the city, you will have to talk to the receptionists. There are mostly men at the receptionist desk, and they would give you a phone number and tell you to call yourself. But if there is a lady at the receptionist desk, she will help you even if she is swamped.

On the first floor is the Club Room with access for Hilton VIP’s where you can have a complimentary breakfast, snack during the day, and evening drinks. It’s open all day from 6am to 11pm on weekdays and from 7am to 11pm on the weekends.

After all the dump hotels I stayed at on this trip, this was a great place to stay--I could actually get used to living like that.

Hilton - Charles De Gaulle Aiport

Hilton - Charles De Gaulle Aiport

Airport hotels can be hard to love, since they are often chosen more for the sake of location and convenience. This often leads to things being allowed to become a little threadbare as properties make a living off a steady supply of one-time visitors.

The Hilton Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is a refreshing contrast to the typical airport fare. Inside its functional, soundproof shell is a meticulously maintained luxury property that is all that a Hilton should be. Guest rooms are nicely appointed and immaculate. The fitness center is well-equipped, including a small pool that is kept spotless and at a comfortable water temperature. Guest rooms are very large by European standards and we particularly give the nod to the executive rooms, with crown moldings and well-done bathrooms with separate showers. The Club room offers a nice selection of snacks at cocktail hour, along with continental breakfast and afternoon tea.

Common areas of the hotel are impressive, beginning with the glass atrium. The Aviators restaurant offers a wide-ranging menu, along with delicious buffet offerings. (Let's face it, France is all about good food. While we're not handing out any Michelin stars at the airport Hilton, we know you'll find it as good or better than many typical hotel restaurants.) The staff was friendly and attentive, too.

A nice feature of the hotel is that it is an easy walk across the parking lot to the RER station, which will take you to downtown Paris in about a half an hour for 7.75 euros. We were pleasantly surprised to pick up the Hilton CDG off the Hilton website for 94 euros, including breakfast during our weekend stay, which is an absolute steal for this quality of property. We give it a big thumbs up in every respect. The Hilton CDG is a top-shelf property and a great choice for people who may have a morning flight or a late arrival.
