If you walk down Rue de Bassano from the Louis Vuitton shop near Champs Elysees, or down Rue Galilee, a little ways you will soon see Rue Keppler. Less than a 2 minute walk from Champs Elysees, which is always bustling night or day, you’ll come to an area that will surprise you with how calm and quiet it is. This is where you’ll find the newly reopened (in April, 2007 after remodeling) Hotel Keppler, a luxury hotel with a charming interior combining classical and modern components, and the beauty of traditional French architecture. Bright sunlight streams in from the glass ceiling and the courtyard into the lounge where you'll be able to warm yourself by the flames in the fireplace. It’s a wonderful space that will give you the feeling that you are relaxing in someone's lovely living room. The fitness center features a sauna and Turkish bath, while the business center has computers with internet access available, so you’ll be able to enjoy a real first class stay here.

The rooms don’t just look beautiful; the beds are made with high quality fabrics. To help their customers have a more pleasant stay, a lighting designer was brought in to help lay out the colors and lights for the rooms. Of course they offer A/C, safes, and wireless internet, but you'll also find that the LCD TVs have a pay movie channel, and a pay CD selection for music. Their complete bath amenities are absolutely wonderful, supplying you even with bathrobes and slippers.

And furthermore, take note of how incredible the breakfast buffet is. It features cheese, ham, smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, ham and sausage, all kinds of vegetables (asparagus, tomato, cucumber, potato, etc.), crepes, fruitcake, brownies, cereal, baguettes, danishes (croissants, pain au chocolat, pain au raisins), fruit, dried fruit, hot beverages, fruit juice (orange, grapefruit), and on and on. You’ll really be getting your day off to a happy start, eh?

Champs Elysees is full of shops that will make travelers happy, such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Tara Jarmon, Hugo Boss, Guerlain, Zara, Petit Bateau, the Monoprix supermarket, and Laduree. Furthermore, a lot of the stores stay open until midnight, making this a very convenient place to be. If you ride the Air France shuttle bus from the airport you can go straight to the Arc de Triomphe. From there, it’s only a short walk to the hotel.
