 We would love to stay here again and would perhaps like to try a different room Ours was below street level and was very adequately lit with natural light by virtue of a central opening in the building itself And the room itself was spacious and comfortable We were just a little surprised to be going down to bed rather than up LOL 
 While enroute from southern Sweden to Breton my Swedish wife had to attend a business meeting in Paris We had our friendly labrador Nelly with us as well We needed a hotel which was 1 at least near the 3 me arrondissement if not in it 2 had parking and 3 was pet friendly L Empire Paris was a great choice Extremely warm and helpful staff Really They welcomed Nelly took care of the car and followed up to make sure we were comfortable once settled in The location is great too just a block and a half from the Louvre And there are plenty of restaurants in every direction although we do not recommend you chose La Poule au Pot which we choose on our own so not the hotel s fault We took Nelly for an absolutely magical walk along the Seine in the evening and then through the Mandela Garden and surrounding area in the morning The generous breakfast was pleasant and informal After breakfast they brought our car to the front door Wow Tr s gentil
