Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris (La Defense-Neuilly) Sofitel La Defense

[aralos1999]

I've been bidding since the beginning of July for 9/24/10 to 10/02/10 (8 nights) at around $120, sometime as high as $140, but Priceline keeps coming back "Select a Hotel" and no offer to rebid. Finally decided this morning to split the bid into 2. First bid at La Defense - Neuilly at $120 and got accepted immediately. Was offered to extend stay, so I added the addiitonal days to 10/02/10. $120 was not accepted, but was offered $171 to extend, since I didnt really want to switch hotel midway through the stay, so I accpeted the $171 offer. Current price at Sofitel site is $355 per night.

In summary:

9/24/10 to 9/28/10 @ $120 (1st bid)

9/28/10 to 10/02/10 @ 171 (extend the stay)

There are two hotels in the La Defense area that can carry the name "Sofitel".

1 - 34 cours michelet, 92060 PARIS LA DEFENSE, FRANCE

2 - 11 Avenue De L, La Defense 6 Cedex, 92081, Paris Pullman (formerly Sofitel)

#2 was a Sofitel, but was purchased by Pullman. It still comes up in searches with Sofitel on its name though.

Maybe you could check the address and post back here as to which one you really won? While one can walk from one to the other, they are a full Metro stop away from each other. Speaking from experience, since I first went to the wrong one a few months ago.

Romelle,

I can confirm that it is the Sofitel Paris La Defense located at 34 cours michelet. I also emailed the hotel directly to confirm my PL reservation and made a request for a non-smoking room and early check-in. They have replied back and confirmed the reservation is in order. I was a bit surprised that I got his hotel since it is rated a 5* in PL regular booking site booking.com.

Thank you for the follow-up, and glad to hear that the hotel confirmed your request.
