Trafalgar Hotel: Hilton La Defense (Paris)

Misterpiggy stayed at the Hilton La Defense while in Paris.  The La Defense is a business district with lots of office buildings and home to the Grande Arche and the Quatre Temps giant shopping mall.  The hotel looks like an aircraft hangar from the outside and piggy read somewhere that it used to be an exhibition/convention centre? Anyways, now there are offices, shops, eateries and the hotel inside.  

The outside.


from the shops looking up at the hotel.


and inside views, these are the views from the room looking out.


There is a main shopping concourse at street level and two more shopping levels below that. Also convenient access to the Metro "1" line.


The rooms are spacious and modern.  With 3 phones even. one between the beds.



a phone on the desk and even one in the bathroom.  mini fridge and safe too.




giant sized bathroom.



All the usual toiletries. shampoo not necessary for misterpiggy and muki as neither one has any hair.
Muki doesn't need any Qtips either.




Misterpiggy found the room to be very comfortable.  No noise leakage from adjacent rooms.  It would have scored ten out of ten if there was free wi-fi.



Misterpiggy enjoyed his breakfasts on in the hotel restaurant located on the main level. The croissants and fresh juices were the best!
