BEST WESTERN RONCERAY OPERA
About the Castle Hotel
Best Western Hotel Ronceray Opera, Paris - Historic Charm, Central Convenience
This three-pearl chain hotel offers a decidedly accessible entry point into the heart of Paris, housed within a building that whispers tales from the early 19th century. It manages to marry its historic bones with modern comforts, presenting itself as a solid, reliable choice for those seeking a central base without the stratospheric price tag.
Location
Ideally situated in the 9th arrondissement, the Ronceray Opera finds itself moments from the grand Opéra Garnier and the lively Grands Boulevards. The pulse of Paris is at your doorstep, with the Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department stores a mere 5-minute walk away, and the Grévin Museum practically a neighbor. For further explorations, the numerous surrounding Metro stations, including Grands Boulevards (lines 8 and 9) and Cadet (line 7), provide swift access. Gare Saint-Lazare is within a 20-minute walk or a quick 9-minute metro ride. Personally, I appreciate its placement on a lively avenue, offering a wide choice of entertainment and shopping, though it means embracing the city's energetic hum.
Style and Character
The Ronceray Opera embraces an authenticity rooted in its 19th-century origins, a character that informs the hotel's atmosphere. This historic shell is thoughtfully updated, ensuring that while the decor may speak of a bygone era, the functionality is thoroughly modern. Expect an elegant, quiet, and restful setting that provides a welcome respite from the city's ceaseless motion.
Service and Facilities
The hotel caters to a range of needs, functioning as a competent business hotel with several meeting rooms for corporate gatherings. For those seeking a moment of repose, the intimate atmosphere of the lounge bar offers a suitable break, particularly for after-work drinks. A 24-hour business corner, complete with a Mac, ensures productivity is not compromised. Safety features are comprehensive, including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, a security system, and first aid kits, adding a layer of assurance to your stay.

Bathrooms come with showers and complimentary toiletries, with hairdryers provided.
