I want to like La Réserve as the location, hard product and design are all great. But after having visited all room and a few suite categories and having eaten there on three occasions (afternoon tea and a couple of snacks), I still don't get the place. It is always empty and F&B is disappointing and overpriced (even for Paris Palace hotel standards). I hope Epicure-trained F&B Director Marco will quickly leave his mark and bring things up to standard.
The rooms are nice but some suites are odd, like The Presidential Suite which has a bit of a strange layout (it is long and narrow) and it is on the small side (120 or 140 sqm).
In a city with so many great hotels and heavyweights like the FS or Le Bristol, La Réserve simply isn't competitive as it's in the same price range but not at all on par when it comes to pretty much everything else.
