The Pavilion Louvre Rivoli is housed in a six storey building with red awnings, set among restaurants and patisseries on a narrow residential street opposite the Bibliotheque Nationale, 200 metres from Place de Vend⌠me and the Louvre.

The 29 guestrooms have mustard and maroon colour schemes and overlook a small courtyard or the Rue de MoliΦre. All are equipped with satellite television, minibars, work desks, and white tiled bathrooms with showers, hair dryers, and complimentary toiletries.

The hotel's former cellars are now a breakfast room, while the lobby offers tea and coffee along with high speed Internet access and complimentary newspapers.

Staff at the 24-hour reception can advise on sightseeing, arrange car hire and organise secretarial or translation services for business travellers. At the end of the Rue MoliΦre, at the point where it joins the Rue de Richelieu, sits a sculpture of the great eponymous comic playwright.

The area around the hotel is rich with historical landmarks, with the Sacré Coeur Basilica, Notre Dame Cathedral and La Madeleine, a striking church based on the Roman temple at Nεmes, originally commissioned by Napoleon to honour his army, all within 500 metres.

Charles de Gaulle Airport is 30 kilometres away, with an approximate driving time of 45 minutes.
