The Melia Paris Vendome is a wonderful hotel. I read many of the reviews before arriving; I don't understand the reviews about the breakfast buffet. There are three prices/choices for the buffet (the equivalent of continental, continental plus, and full buffet). Our vacation package came with the full buffet and this was literally the best part of our trip. The full buffet is unbelievable... a chef to make eggs or omelets, many charcuterie choices, any juice you can think of, breads, freshly baked croissants, beautiful fruits, wonderful coffee makers, and all you can drink bubbles! It was fantastic and our kiddos ate a ton. The Melia is also within walking distance to many of the popular Paris sites (all have been listed in the reviews). The hotel didn’t have many recommendations for dinner (we didn’t care for Flotts prices). We found three great places within a short walking distance from hotel - the Boulian Chartier (amazing, lower priced food and wine, but get there early or be prepared to stand in line), Le Florentin (italian right near hotel) and Relais Madeleine (right near hotel). I understand some of the reviews about the temperature in the rooms. We had two rooms. The girls' room was facing the street (the street noise is not bad at all) and the temperature in the room was great! The boys room was facing the inside “courtyard,” and was very warm the whole stay. But, it was not a big deal, as we just opened the window to let some cooler, fresh air in. We didn’t bother reporting it to the front desk, as we understood after reading the reviews.

“Our three days stay at Melia Vendome.”

We were immediately greeted by Guillaume and he was a bright star in our entire stay! He was kind and very helpful! As we registered at the front desk we were met with frustration. Our room was not ready, but a room could be ready at 20 Euro per hour extra!! Our room was typical European style a… more

We were immediately greeted by Guillaume and he was a bright star in our entire stay! He was kind and very helpful! As we registered at the front desk we were met with frustration. Our room was not ready, but a room could be ready at 20 Euro per hour extra!! Our room was typical European style and our bed very comfortable. The access to tub is very high. And our room was right next to the elevator and very noisy. We had a pretty courtyard view. The breakfast had lots of options and the food was delicious. Johanna was delightful and made sure our visit was very nice. The entire staff at breakfast was very nice. The location of the hotel is absolutely wonderful. There’s lots of restaurants and many sites that are very close to the area. Such as the Place De La Concorde and the Louvre.

“Diamond in meed of polishing”

Journey begins with a superb location. Lobby nice. Rooms good size but worn out is an understatement. Carpet pre world war 2. Hiw can a hotel in such location be left in such a state.

Another plus the receptionists and manager. They did their outmost to accomodate us elsewhere with minimum discomfort. . . .

“Amazing location and breakfast, but some challenges”

There are a ton of positives about this hotel. The location cannot be beat (especially if you like to shop at high end stores.) the hotel is just off the corner of St. Honore street which is like Rodeo Drive.

There are a ton of positives about this hotel. The location cannot be beat (especially if you like to shop at high end stores.) the hotel is just off the corner of St. Honore street which is like Rodeo Drive. It is also across the street from Tullieres Gardens and a very quick walk to the Louvre. The morning breakfast is very good. The pastries are delicious and warm (freshly baked) and a very good selection of other options (including champagne). The rooms are fine size-wise. We had a “premium room”. We have also come to expect smaller room sizes in Europe so nothing egregious about that. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke English very well. Where the experience could have been better was: 1) the king sized bed was actually two twin beds pushed together and made separately. Not even made to look like one bed. And the beds were not super comfortable. Not awful though 2) the shower/bath tub is very high so getting in and out was treacherous and it only has half a glass door so of course water splashes everywhere. Water pressure was not great and the water never got super hot. 3) the heat in our room did not work. And mind you this was the coldest winter in Paris in years. It was snowing. They sent someone to fix it and they couldn’t. They could not switch rooms for us so they brought up a space heater, which while effective just did not feel safe 4) the only have plugs with USB ports on one side of the bed, which in 2026 just feels outdated. I had to plug everything in at the desk. 5) and this isn’t entirely the hotels fault, but they could addressed the issue better. We arrived on January 2nd and all of the stores started taking down their holiday decorations that night. So from 11pm-4am every night, for three nights there was INCESSANT noise and I am not exaggerating. Scissors lifts going up and down with that constant beeping. The sound of heavy items being thrown in a dumpster, very loud talking by the hardworking crew, which sounded like they were right outside our window. I am a heavy sleeper (l have bad hearing so it takes a lot to wake me up) and I woke up every night and struggled to get back to sleep. 6)and this is a minor inconvenience that I have experienced before: the elevators are VERY TINY. Like one person and two suitcases fit. So I took the luggage up and down and my husband took the stairs. Thankfully we were only on the 2nd floor. Overall the hotel is a good option for the location, cleanliness and quality of staff and food, but not a 4 star experience in my book.
