The Hotel Du Louvre

  We are really getting addicted to staying at nice hotels for free! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the stunning Hotel Du Louvre in Paris. The Hotel Du Louvre is a Hyatt hotel located directly across from the Louvre Museum.

 For this stay we used our 2 free Hyatt nights which I acquired by signing up for the Chase Hyatt credit card. By meeting the required minimum spend of $2000 dollars in 3 months, you get two free nights at any category level Hyatt hotel. This is quite a deal considering we would have spent over $700 for those two nights if we would have paid in dollars
   The staff there were very helpful and friendly with checkin/checkout, and the location is hard to beat being next two the Louvre and a metro stop.

Budget friendly dining options we found:

Bistrot Victoires   For budget friendly (believe me when I say they are far and few in between) dining options near the Louvre, try Bistrot Victoires. The Duck confit was delicious and their chocolate filled cake with vanilla ice cream was to die for! Two people can easily eat here for under $20. We ended up having dinner here twice!

This was also mentioned in the previous post but we did enjoy a budget friendly, yet hearty breakfast at Coquelicot Bakery and Cafe. For only $15 we both enjoyed a bowl of cappuccino, quiche, and a butter croissant.

And now it’s on to Venice and a stay in the Hilton Molino Stucky!
