Review : Moxy Paris Val d'Europe | Marriott Bonvoy - MCR-Moxy Paris Val d-Europe-01

Moxy Paris Val d'Europe – Location

The Moxy Paris Val d’Europe is located in Montévrain. From Gare Saint-Lazare railway station, it takes around 1 hour to get to Val d’Europe station (RER A), which drops you off 500 meters from the hotel.

Nearby, you’ll find an array of restaurants, mainly on Rue d’Ariane, close to the RER station. The hotel is also close to 3 grocery stores (Auchan, Monoprix and Aldi). For those in the mood for a bit of window shopping, it’s a 10-minute walk to the Val d’Europe shopping center, which also houses the Sea Life Paris Val d’Europe Aquarium.

Moxy Paris Val d'Europe – The hotel

The Moxy Paris Val d’Europe offers a modern, dynamic atmosphere that’s sure to please adults and children alike.

Having opened in fall 2022, the hotel’s architecture is definitely contemporary. The pixelated facade in shades of silver and grey is elegant, standing out in its environment, but without being out of place.

Inside, the hotel’s relaxed atmosphere makes it a friendly and welcoming place to stay. The layout is reminiscent of the magic of its famous neighbor, whether it’s the jungle-like atmosphere in certain areas, the colorful and sometimes magical murals, or the huge play room, which many of us adults envied.

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.

Moxy Paris Val d'Europe – Restaurants

The hotel offers 2 dining areas.

The Moxy Bar is located in the lobby/reception area. This is the area where the hearty morning buffet is served. You can order snacks at any time. In the evening, the place transforms into a cocktail bar, where many gather to chat and meet new people.

Opening on March 7, 2023, Bistro 51 defines itself as a bistronomic brewery. Chef Grégory Foussier-Chavigny revisits the classics of French gastronomy, using local, seasonal produce. The menu is affordable, ranging from €19 to €30, depending on the formula and before adding in drinks. It’s a good thing that a family clientele was taken into account in the design of the place, with a menu and an area dedicated to children, maximizing the chance for parents to dine in (relative) peace and quiet.

Moxy Paris Val d'Europe – Services

A well-equipped gym is available at all times. Here you’ll find the traditional treadmills, elliptical trainers and free weights. True to the Moxy banner, you can also let off some steam on a pink Moxy « punching bag ».

Business guests have access to a meeting room for up to 12 people. If you need to work in small teams, several sitting areas are scattered around the large lobby.

Connected people benefit from a high-speed Wi-Fi connection at all times, and will easily find an electrical/USB outlet to recharge their equipment.

Moxy Paris Val d'Europe – Overall impression of my experience

As soon as we arrived at the Moxy Paris Val d’Europe, the friendly, attentive staff greeted us with the venue’s signature cocktail. We took the opportunity to enjoy the impressive, bright, open lobby where you can relax, chat or play board games.

Despite the hustle and bustle of the clientele during our stay, we appreciated the opportunity to relax in alcoves or join a group for a game of billiards.

The interior design is really well done, while certain areas of the lobby made us feel like we were in the world of Alice in Wonderland. I also fell in love with the mural by the elevators, where the wall lights take the form of red umbrellas.

As for the bedroom, although the layout was minimalist, it was very functional. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom sufficient for our needs. Despite its proximity to major roads, the windows are well soundproofed. In this respect, it was really nice to be able to open the windows, which is often not possible in hotel rooms.

Finally, despite waking up late in the morning, the buffet was still very generous towards the end of the service. We were able to satiate ourselves with bread, pastries, fresh fruit and yoghurts, all accompanied by the obligatory café au lait.

One thing’s for sure, we’ll be coming back to this hotel, but this time to visit Disneyland Paris with the boys.
