Sofitel at CDG
Anyone stay here, and what did you think?
I have a series of 1-night stopovers and am debating staying at CDG Sofitel or going into town. Flights come in early and leave early. So my wargaming is that it's safer to stay overnight at the CDG Sofitel, that way I am right there in the morning.
Already done the Paris tourist stuff [many years ago], so for these layovers I was just thinking of doing simple stuff like the Picasso museum for the inbound layover, and maybe Les Invalides and dinner followed by poker [or Jazz club] for the outbound layover.
Also, I found out the Paris stopovers are indeed free on Air France. Also Amsterdam stopovers are free on KLM. These are for routes into Africa.

AF put us up at the Sofitel when our connection from VCE was delayed. There was a special floor for AF pax. Thought the hotel was fine and the restaurant was pretty good, as well. However, I much prefer the Hyatt at CDG.

Depending on when you are traveling, just got a 53EUR rate at Hilton CDG inclusive of taxes for the night of April 17th. 5 minute shuttle and it saves me 100EUR over Hyatt/Sofitel/Sheraton.

I stayed there about a week ago. Its nice enough. The restuarant was recently renovated and the food was fairly good. The rooms are fresh probably having been renovated in the past 4 years. They dont have the Sofitel "MyBed" but the beds were comfortable. Its not an amazing hotel but it was nice. There is a shuttle every twenty minutes to the airport.

Suggest you do a search "CDG" in the Accor Hotels forum for more recent information.
