Hotel Brighton - Location
You wanted to stay across from the Tuileries Garden, and also have an
impressive view of the Louvre, the Musйe d’Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, the
Dome of the Invalides? Then you rightly chose the Hotel Brighton.
Hotel Brighton - The Story
The hotel Brighton dates back to the end of the 19th century. Its name
originates from the warm friendship which was held between France and
England during the reign of Queen Victoria. Overlooking the Tuileries
Garden and many of the most beautiful monuments in Paris, the view is
spectacular.

The Tuileries, the most important and the oldest of all the Paris
gardens, extends from the Place de la Concorde all the way to the
Louvre, and from the river Seine to the rue de Rivoli. Queen Catherine
de Medicis instructed it to be planted in 1564, following an Italian
plan. One century later, in 1664, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, minister under
Louis XIV, ordered the garden to be completely redesigned by Andrй Le
Nфtre, who had already proved himself at the Vaux-le-Vicomte chateau.
Manicured lawns, flower-beds and basins are embellished today by many
statues - mostly by Auguste Rodin, Maillol and Jean Dubuffet - and
temporary exhibitions of contemporary sculptors such as Louise
Bourgeois. The Hotel is also just a couple of blocks away from the Place
de la Concorde, the Jeu de Paume Gallery, the Orangerie, and of course,
the Louvre.
Hotel Brighton - Accomodation
The entire hotel has been refurbished, with refinement, combining the
spirit of the place, comfort, elegance and quality. And through that,
the hotel has been a four star hotel since March 2008.
