The Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe is a haven of peace with its location in a quiet street that is nonetheless close to the Champs-Elysées, the Faubourg Saint-Honoré and outstanding museums. If you want a nice and competive restaurant closed to the hotel, you can go to La Marée restaurant.
We got to the Arc de Triomphe late in the day as the sun was going down so the crowds were thin thankfully. The only way up is a single wide set of circular stairs so you can only go as fast or slow as the people in front of you. Same on the way down. Once you get to the top though, the sweeping views of Paris were worth every step and we would recommend the climb.
