A: You have chosen a particularly expensive area of a city not known for its cheap hotels, so finding a good hotel in the district surrounding the Champs-Elysees is a daunting task. Your best best is to check a few of the better discount websites to find one that catches your eye. My first choice would be the Hotel Belfast, a charming old-fashioned hotel housed in an 18th Century building. It is perfectly located only a minute's walk from the Arc de Triomphe and the bustling Champs-Elysees and close to many metro, RER and bus stations. Rooms have satellite television, Wi-Fi broadband Internet access, direct-dial telephone, a minibar and a safe. Listed Internet rates for a double room start at 105 euros per night, but the best rate I could find for your dates is 179 euros. This price includes all fees and taxes (www.hotelbelfastparis.com). A good choice outside of the area you requested is the Holiday Inn Paris Montparnasse - Maine. This three-star hotel is situated on the left bank, between the Luxembourg Gardens and the Eiffel Tower. The hotel was upgraded during renovations in 2007. You can get a rate (including all taxes) for 200 euros per night on www.booking.com. Both the above hotels have lifts (elevators) and luggage storage facilities, which will be handy as you are likely to have additional luggage for your cruise. Other websites to search for discounted hotel rates are the Paris listings on www.venere.com, www.parishotels-discount.com and www.paris-hotels-discount.com. You can also read an excellent article in Travel and Leisure magazine which highlights 17 secret hotels in Paris for under 200 dollars per night. Go to the www.travelandleisure.com website and search for "paris secret hotels" to find the article. (27 June 2010)
