Nous revenons d’un voyage à Paris en famille au cours duquel nous avons séjourné dans l’hôtel Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe. Voici notre retour d’expérience avec de nombreuses photos.

Avant-Propos

Comment nous avons réservé avec nos points dans l’hôtel Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe

Nous avons réservé cet hôtel 3 semaines avant notre arrivée. L’hôtel étant classé en catégorie 9 auprès de Marriott Bonvoy, il en a coûté 45 000 points Marriott Bonvoy par nuit soit 135 000 points pour 3 nuits.

tarif renaissance paris points

J’accumule des points via ma Carte Marriott BonvoyMC American ExpressMD(et son généreux bonus de souscription).  J’ai donc converti instantanément 45 000 starpoints du programme de fidélité SPG en 135 000 points Marriott Bonvoy.

equivalence points 3 pour 1 spg marriott
1 starpoint = 3 points Marriott !

45 000 points Marriott Bonvoy / 15 000 starpoints par nuit est élevé, mais cela se situe dans la moyenne de la capitale française. Et sachant que le dollar canadien n’est pas en grande forme face à l’euro, utiliser les points devenait une évidence. Jugez plutôt:

Converti en dollar canadien:

tarif renaissance paris devises

45 000 starpoints m’ont permis ici de sauver 2 000$, ce qui porte la valeur d’1 starpoint à 4.44 cents, soit bien au-dessus de notre évaluation de 2.7 cents.

Le contact avec l’hôtel Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe avant l’arrivée

Nous avions pris soin de prendre contact par courriel avec la réception et le concierge pour s’assurer:

  • que le statut Gold serait bien reconnu dans l’hôtel (notamment pour les petits-déjeuners)
  • qu’un surclassement pourrait être envisagé dans une chambre familiale
  • qu’un service de gardienne d’enfants serait disponible

Les réponses ont été à chaque fois rapides et claires. Le concierge nous a proposé 2 services de gardienne, et nous avons été très satisfait. Bravo!

La reconnaissance du statut Marriott Gold par l’hôtel Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe

Étant membre au statut Gold de Marriott Bonvoy (obtenu grâce à mon statut Gold chez Marriott Bonvoy, lui-même obtenu par la Carte de Platine d’American Express ou la carte de Platine PME d’American Express), ce statut est bien reconnu par le Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe puisque nous avons eu droit:

  • Arrivée hâtive (enregistrement effectué à midi)
  • Départ tardif (notre départ aurait pu être effectué à 15h)
  • Surclassement (d’une chambre de base à 1 lit double à une chambre familiale avec 2 lits queen)
  • Petits-déjeuners offerts

L’hôtel Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe: un hôtel de luxe en plein Paris

La situation de l’hôtel est parfaite pour explorer Paris. Une station de métro (Ternes) est à quelques mètres. Et vous êtes à distance de marche de l’Arc de Triomphe, des Champs-Élysées ou du Parc Monceau. De plus, si vous souhaitez faire du magasinage, vous trouverez votre bonheur sur l’Avenue des Ternes.

plan renaissance paris

Même si l’hôtel se trouve sur un grand boulevard donnant sur l’Arc de Triomphe, les chambres sont silencieuses. Nous avions hésité avec le Renaissance Paris Vendôme, encore plus central, mais les chambres de ce dernier semblaient bien plus petites.

L’arrivée à l’hôtel Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe

Au pied de l’hôtel se trouvent plusieurs magasins ainsi que l’entrée de la Salle Wagram (salle de spectacle).

Pour vous rendre compte de la faible distance du métro Ternes, voici une vue depuis la Place des Ternes.

Un comptoir d’enregistrement est réservé aux membres « Élites » – Statut Marriott. Arrivés vers 12h, notre chambre était prête mais n’avait pas été inspectée. Pendant ce processus qui a pris 10-15 minutes, la réception nous a offert des rafraîchissements au bar… ainsi qu’un chocolat chaud et des jeux pour faire patienter notre fille. Belle attention!

Après une dizaine de minutes, la réception nous a donné nos clés, confirmant le surclassement:

Les couloirs menant aux chambres sont plutôt sobres.

Les chambres d’hôtels à Paris sont généralement petites. Celle-ci était plutôt de bonne taille, au-dessus de la moyenne en tous cas. Nous ne nous y sommes pas sentis à l’étroit.

Le petit-déjeuner

Grâce au statut Marriott Gold, nous avions le droit au buffet du petit-déjeuner chaque matin et nous n’avons pas été déçu! Le petit-déjeuner se prend dans la salle du restaurant (l’hôtel ne dispose pas de salon privé à cet effet).

Comme vous vous en doutez avec ces photos: difficile d’être déçu par ce type de buffet! Tous les produits proposés du salé au sucré sont variés et de qualité. Le fait d’être Marriott Gold nous permet d’économiser une trentaine d’euros par personne chaque jour, ce qui est non négligeable. De plus, des sièges enfants étaient disponibles.

Le gym

Je dois vous l’avouer: je n’ai pas utilisé le gym. Par contre, j’ai été vous faire des photos! Celui-ci est plutôt bien fourni! De plus, un mini bar offre gratuitement de l’eau d’Évian et boissons revitalisantes.

Conclusion sur notre séjour à l’hôtel Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe

Le Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe est un excellent choix pour un séjour au cœur de l’action dans la capitale française. Les 15 000 starpoints / 45 000 points Marriott Bonvoy par nuit sont bien investis en étant utilisés ici, surtout pour ceux qui ont le statut Marriott Gold.

Ces 15 000 starpoints peuvent être obtenus par la carte American Express Marriott Bonvoy (ou sa version PME accessible également aux particuliers) ou en convertissant 30 000 points-privilèges American Express d’une des 4 cartes avec points-privilèges.

Le statut Marriott Gold est obtenu par la carte de Platine d’American Express (ou sa version PME accessible également aux particuliers).

Apply with confidence — no impact on your credit scoreApply with confidenceCheck whether your application will be approved before you submit it, with no impact on your credit score*When you apply for a personal American Express Credit Card, we will tell you whether you are eligible without affecting your credit score. So you can apply with confidence.*Instant decisions are only available for consumer Card applications (also called “personal Cards”).

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.

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.
