My flight for Paris departs shortly!

I got a room at the Hilton at CDG - just seemed easiest so I can drop off a few of my carry ons right away and just transit back there late and be close to catch my flight tomorrow. A few questions:

Is this hotel easy to get to?
What's the best way to get to the main attractions from this hotel?
There were not advanced ET tickets available. Can I buy one in person for a later time in the day?
How far in advance do I need to head over to the gate from the airport Hilton to catch my US flight the next day?

Thanks everyone for all the help!

Very easy. After exiting baggage claim, look for the CDGVAL signs. Get on that train to T3/Roissypole. Follow the signs to "hotels" (that lead outside the station). There should be a sign for the Hilton. You'll have a 5-minute walk to the hotel. (IIRC, once you exit the building, walk left and you'll circle around the hotel to the front door.)


Head back to the train station and take the RER into Paris.

Here's an excellent guide:

Yes. Walk-up tickets are always sold. Depending on the time of day, there could be a wait. Check the lines at the various ticket booths--one could be a bit shorter.


Personally, I would check in at least 2 hours prior to departure. I would leave the hotel at 2hr 15min beforehand. If you need to apply for a VAT refund, then leave a bit earlier.
