Just so you don't think I am just living in the past, we visited the Hilton in August, 2016 and found it was just as elegant as ever. The walls have some photos of the hotel in its heyday when it was built around 100 years ago. Athenee Palace is its name and it truly still is a palace. You will not regret this stay. The Marriott is a newer business hotel, utterly lacking in charm. Check out the photos on line.
