The hotel entrance is on the wrong side of the hotel (as far as possible from the Metro stop). Circumnavigating the hotel becomes tiring after a few trips.
You can enter directly at the Café de la Paix (door just opposite the metro station)

Pascade, a very good neobistrot, is only 2 minutes walk from the hotel.
Arola, the restaurant of the W hotel, just opposite the IC, is inventive and service is smiling.
Place du marché Saint Honoré is only 5 minutes walk from the Grand Hôtel, with lots of good restaurants at reasonable price (Fuxia, for antipasti,.L'Absinthe, good brasserie,.Le Razowski, for delicious burgers,.Le Zinc d'Honoré, classic brasserie, Très Honoré, chic basserie, etc.).
Les Jalles, is only 3 minutes walk from the hotel. Not so cheap but worth the price.
If you walk to the North/East of 9th arrondissement, you will find lots of good restautants in one of the most dynamic district for food lovers (Rose Bakery, Momoka, Le Pantruche, Richer, etc).
Along Rue Saint Anne are located many Japonese restaurants (I love Juji-Ya).
