LiveJournal 10/10/2003 –

Found out to our chagrin that apparently Expedia.com has some of the best rates for all the travel search engines on the ‘net. We’ve nabed two potential “Paris Vacations” defined by their hotels.

Option One – The Best Western Aulivia Opera – $1,155.08

This is a three-star hotel close enough to the center of the city to please Scott and I, and cheap enough to not break the bank for our first Paris visit. On the map it’s around the Marais section and unless we find out that it’s infested or run by zombies is ‘good enough’.

Option Two – Jolly Hotel Lotti – $1,453.32

This is a four-star hotel that caters primarily to the Italian and Tourist crowd, while it has a REALLY good placement being just 800m from The Louvre it does give a little affront to being parsimonious about this whole trip. 

So – not knowing if anyone else has visited Paris and have any suggestions (please make them if you’ve got them), these are my two selections. Is it worth the extra $298.24 to get an extra star and not have to metro and/or walk from Marais to the center of the city – or is it too much?
