Top 3 reasons to stay at the hotel:
-
The position of The Banke makes it a perfect resting place for the serious shopper and/or tourist. It is just a few hundred yards away from Galarie Lafayette and Boulevard Haussmann. The nearest metro station has a direct line to the Louvre and Notre Dame which are close by and well worth a visit.
-
As soon as you enter The Banke’s imposing lobby with its shot silk draped entrance hall with gold furnished lobby and bar you realize that this will be a special experience.
-
The restaurant was a fabulous treat. The chefs had prepared innovative combinations in their dishes – crispy cubes of pigs trotter with a crab salad and a beautifully presented carpaccio of lobster as imaginative and delicious starters. Dinner was served by well trained staff in a glass domed restaurant. This was a luxurious experience to compliment the golden, modern décor.
Overview:
The Banke Hotel is a superb place to stay whether you are visiting Paris for the first time or a well seasoned traveller.
It has everything you need on its doorstep – famous sites to visit, superb shopping close at hand, fantastic transport links on the metro or Gare de l’Est or Nord. It is close to the River Seine for a fabulous boat cruise by day or night.
All members of staff are friendly and helpful. The accommodation is luxurious in a modern setting. There are exhibits of jewellery and antique artifacts on the corridor just outside the bedroom. The bar is ultra cool with golden banquettes and tables to sit by and the cocktails are delicious. The entrance hall and lobby are stunning.
All this before you go into dinner which is a gourmet experience – a memorable hotel.
