Paris was my last destination after two months of remote work in Europe and Morocco. After staying at the Moxy Paris Bastille to visit the City of Light for a few days, I decided to spend my last night at a hotel near Paris Charles De Gaulle airport.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle – Reservation

My night at the Moxy Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport in November 2022 cost me 86 euros. In points, prices range from 16,000 to 21,000 per night. So I chose to pay in cash since the value per point was lower than the one calculated by Milesopedia.

Earning Marriott Bonvoy Points

The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points for free stays at over 8,000 hotels worldwide is to be a Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Cardholder (and/or Marriott Bonvoy® Business American Express®* Cardholder).

In addition to the great welcome bonus on both cards, you’ll earn 2 points per dollar on all purchases and 5 points per dollar at Marriott locations. And each year, you’ll earn a certificate for one free hotel night (35,000 point value) as well as 15 Elite nights toward your Marriott Bonvoy status.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Location

The Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport is located in the hotel area near the airport, just steps away from the free CDGVAL shuttle that connects terminals 1, 2 and 3 of Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG) and the RER B and TGV stations.

To get there by public transportation, I took the metro to the Opera station, then I took the bus that goes directly to the airport. This was my only option since it was late in the evening; you can take the TGV from the Gare du Nord which goes to the airport.

Small confession: I may have visited thirty countries, but my sense of orientation has never really improved. If you’re like me, ask the front desk for directions for the easiest way from the hotel to the entrance for the CDGVAL shuttle. It should take you less than 5 minutes to walk.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Registration

I arrived late at night, after midnight, at the Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport. However, I had already checked in via the Marriott Bonvoy app, and I had a digital key that activated as of midnight on my phone.

So I could have gone straight to my room, but I proceeded with the check-in anyway, which was worth it. To welcome us, the Moxy staff spins a wheel that makes win us different prizes, mainly in the form of drinks and snacks or desserts.

I won a donut and was also given a ticket for a welcome cocktail, which is a tradition at Moxy hotels.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Room

After spending a few days at the Moxy Paris Bastille, I was happy to find that the room was much more spacious in their airport hotel. This is quite logical if you compare the space available near the airport with that in the heart of a major European city.

As indicated in my preferences, I was given a room on the top floor. The decoration was modern and quite minimalist, and the bed was very comfortable.

Review: Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport | Marriott Bonvoy - Marriott-04

In the bedroom, there was an armchair, a flat screen smart TV, and various plugs (European and USB) near the bed. The bathroom included a shower with Muk products and a hair dryer. There were no coffee machines or desks to work at, but they are found in the common areas, as they were in the other two Moxy hotels I visited in Europe.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Restaurant

Breakfast was not included in my night, but know that it is available at the hotel as a buffet. You can also order snacks, drinks and cocktails from the Moxy Bar all day long; service is available from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. If you’re in a hurry, you can get snacks, drinks and even meals at the 24/7 Grab and Go located right next to the reception.

A station with microwave and condiments is also available to heat up your meals.

You’ll have plenty of choices for seating, whether at the bar or at the many tables set up throughout the open-plan first floor.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Other services and spaces

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Coworking

My only disappointment with the Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport is that I didn’t stay there during the week; I would have loved to work in this spacious and work-friendly place. In addition to the three available meeting rooms, there are plenty of tables and fast Wi-Fi available.

I always appreciate Moxy hotels for their decoration: young, modern, vibrant, and friendly. Although the first floor contains both the reception, bar and common areas, the space is configured to offer enough tranquility for those who need to work.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Common areas

The glass walls offer a lot of natural light and a pleasant atmosphere. The common areas offer everything you need to pass the time before your flight: magazines, board games, table soccer, etc.

An outdoor terrace is also available to get some fresh air before spending many hours at the airport and on the plane. However, there is no pool offered at this hotel. There is even a table giving the status of flights, which can be very useful to get information in case of a delayed flight.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – Fitness room

A workout or stretching session is always good before or after a flight. The Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport offers a fitness room with cardio machines, free weights and even a punching bag for boxing enthusiasts.

Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport – My general impression

The Moxy Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport is a great stop for travelers who arrive late at night, or need to catch an early morning flight. The price per night is much lower than the hotels in the center of Paris, so you can save on accommodation.

I recommend this hotel for business travelers and digital nomads who appreciate coworking spaces, couples and young travelers who want to enjoy a break before starting or ending their European adventure.

The Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card is the best credit card in Canada for free hotel nights.

New Cardmembers can earn up to 110,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points with the current offer:

  • Earn 80,000 points after you spend $6,000 on your Card in your first 6 months of Cardmembership.
  • Plus, earn 30,000 points by making a purchase during your 15th month of Cardmembership.

This offer ends on September 22, 2026. The annual fee is $120, and there is no annual fee on Additional Cards, so you can add a partner or a family member at no extra cost.

Every year after your first Card anniversary, you receive an Annual Free Night Award good for a redemption of up to 35,000 points at eligible hotels and resorts worldwide. At a valuation of 0.9 cents per Marriott Bonvoy point, that certificate is worth roughly $315, which on its own more than covers the $120 annual fee. That is the main reason to keep this Card year after year instead of cancelling it.

To get the most out of the certificate, aim it at a night that would otherwise price close to the 35,000 point ceiling.

The Card also gives you 15 Elite Night Credits each calendar year and automatic Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status. Those credits count toward the next Elite tier, so you begin every year 15 nights ahead of where you would otherwise start.

You move up to Gold Elite status automatically when you reach $30,000 in purchases on the Card in a year, or when you combine 10 qualifying paid nights within one calendar year with the 15 Elite Night Credits from your Card.

Marriott Bonvoy points are generally valued at 0.9 cents each. On that basis, the 110,000 point welcome offer is worth about $990, and an Annual Free Night Award used at its full 35,000 point ceiling is worth about $315.

Marriott Bonvoy points pull their weight on free nights rather than on gift cards or merchandise, which is why this Card should be judged on the hotel stays it produces.

You earn 5 points per dollar on eligible purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels and 2 points per dollar on all other purchases. Points can be redeemed for free nights with no blackout dates at more than 7,000 hotels around the world.

The Card carries a solid package of coverages: $500,000 travel accident insurance, flight delay, baggage delay, lost or stolen baggage and hotel or motel burglary at $500 each, car rental theft and damage up to $85,000 for rentals of up to 48 days, Purchase Protection for 90 days and a one year Extended Warranty.

Two things to plan around: the 2.5% foreign transaction fee on purchases made in a foreign currency, and the 21.99% purchase interest rate, which makes this a Card to pay in full every month. Like all American Express Canada Cards, no minimum income is published for this Card, and you can see whether you would be approved before you apply, with no impact on your credit score.
