A stone's away from the Opera, the church of the
Madeleine and the bustle of the Large Stores, the Best Western Astra Opera, in a
quarry stone building dating back to the mid 1800's, is a fine hotel
which will offer you tranquillity and comfort in a completely air
conditioned environment.
Adorned with modern paintings, the Astra Opera is tastefully
furnished, with a glass-roofed bar that offers a calm setting for
enjoying an aperitif.
A stop for the Roissy shuttle bus service to Charles de
Gaulle Airport is a few minutes' walk from the hotel and Gare du
Nord (Eurostar terminal) is only one stop with RER E. The Metro
station at the end of the street gives easy access to Saint-Germain
on the Left Bank, the Louvre Museum and all other major attractions. The hotel is situated in the heart of Paris between the Opera
and Madeleine, and is approximately 5 minutes' walk from the
Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department stores. And the Rue
Caumartin has a selection of restaurants and the shopping nearby is
excellent.
The Astra Opera has
classic contemporary decor and modern amenities, but it's not lacking in
character, with a 19th-century Haussmann façade and remarkable art exhibitions.
The hotel's Best Western affiliation attracts many American business travelers
and vacationers who look for modern comforts and high service standards, as well
as a convenient location in central Paris for business and sightseeing.
