I wouldn't stay at the Paris Hilton in a million years -- it is not a good representation of French hospitality; to say the Hilton's restaurant is even French is an insult to the French. I don't mean to be snotty about this, but I've eaten there twice in the last month (not because I wanted to), and I have found it to be some of the most unimaginative cuisine I've ever had. If you want the true French experience stay at the Crillion or the Ritz for the luxury experience. If on business try the Hotel Balzac, Hotel Inter-Continental (not Le Grand Hotel which is getting quite run down), or the Plaza Athenee, or the Prince de Galles. For restaurants try Taillevant if an American can get a reservation. The Hotel Astor's restaurant is also a great deal.(Joel Robachon still drops in occasionally). Anyway, the French experience is best experienced not from the Hilton which is a concrete prison at best.

Sorry about the strong feelings.
