Charles De Gaulle Airport Hotels

Q: We are completing our itinerary and travel arrangements for a trip to Europe in May and June, and were able to make use of previous tips and guidelines provided by you in your articles. What we now need is a guide to a hotel for a one night stay at Charles de Gaulle airport.- Miemie Booysen

A: For an overnight stay at the airport, you can't do better than the Sheraton Paris Airport Hotel, which is located inside the airport's terminal 2. No shuttle bus is needed and you can check out at the last minute. However, a room there will cost you 225 Euros (R2170). A good mid-range hotel is the All Seasons Roissy CDG Hotel, a three-star hotel only 3kms from the airport. A double room will cost you 98 Euros (R950). For an even cheaper rate, you can try the Premiere Classe Roissy Hotel. It is located only 2.5kms from the airport, and offers triple rooms from only 49 Euros (R470) per night. Check out these and other discount prices on www.booking.com, which offers free cancellation on its bookings.
