Batignolles-Montmarte-RepuliqueZone 3. Champs Elysees-Opera Quarter WestZone 4. Eiffel Tower-Grenelle-MontparnasseZone 6. Opera Quarter East - Les HallesZone 7. St. Germain-Latin Quarter-MontparnasseThanks in advance...
thereuare Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 What is more important, price or zone? In other words, are you willing to pay more for a hotel in one of your prefered zones or is ultimatley what you want the least expensive 4* hotel in any of the zones above?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Jen Urbano Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Posted September 10, 2008 Much as I'd love to be in my favorite zones, I'm afraid cost is ultimately more important... Looking for the least expensive 4* in the above zones. Thanks.
thereuare Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 At the 4* level you have one re-bid zone.

Jen Urbano Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 Just finished. Had to bump up the budget more than expected, but I was eager to get it settled. Got the Prince de Galles for $240.Every time the Champs Elysees region was bid, we were countered with $253. Glad I was able to undercut it, and most happy with the hotel. It looks amazing, and the location cannot be beat - smack dab in between the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower and Champs Elysees.The hotel website states that rates start at EUR 420 on this date, and Hotwire had a 4.5* listing in this zone for $285 (which I assume may be this same hotel).Overall - VERY happy with the hotel. Many thanks for the assistance.
thereuare Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Congratulations on your win!Sorry to hear it took more than your desired budget, but glad to see that you're happy with the results and got a very nice dicount vs. a conventionally booked room for these dates. Sounds like the location will work out very well for you too.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Have a great trip.
