Nolinski Paris - Evok Collection

We've always stayed at the Park Hyatt Place Vendome but they weren't taking points and Nolinski is half the price. In terms of lux/$, this 5 star hotel is worth the money. Plus the location near the Opera is actually more central for the Louvre, shopping and restaurants. For our family of 4, we got a regular room and a suite and actually prefer the regular room (it had great views and was actually roomier). The art deco interiors are tasteful but best of all the service was top notch. Instead of the usual chocolate, freebies included a herbal sleepaid, collagen powder, and madeleines (how Proustian!). When I needed to buy a suitcase (from all that shopping), they guided me to Monoprix (French Target) and saved me the $ and walk to Galleries Lafayette. The only request I have is a coffee machine or some place to get coffee on demand before 8am, which is the earliest Parisien cafes open.
