Paris: Paris Hotel Gets to the Meat of the American Election Showdown

KatieK — 2008-10-14T11:45:45-05:00

Dreaming of deporting yourself to Paris until the election dust settles? You'd be wise to avoid the Hotel Concorde La Fayette--unless, of course, you actually enjoy the oh-so-passé satisfaction of an election being decided on the real, shall we say, meaty issues rather than superficial garnishes.

That's right, the Hotel Concorde La Fayette is following in the election-gimmick trend encroaching hotels stateside and has created a French version of presidential-themed burgers: the O-Burger and Elephant Burger at the La Fayette Bar. (Turns out even the City of Light can't outshine the glaring spotlight surrounding this year's wannabe leaders of the free world.)

Chefs across the Concordes in Paris have chosen their "favorite fungus" and created a special dish, to be served up in the hotels between October 14 and November 2.Perhaps you need to reserve your room based on what particular mushroom dish you fancy. For example, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Concorde+La+Fayette/ian/115011">Hotel Concorde La Fayette</a> is offering a risotto using a Shimeji mushroom, while the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Ambassador+Opera/ian/115012">Hotel Ambassador Opera</a> is throwing Girolle mushrooms into a few dishes--including a risotto.

Fixed Dollar Rates in France!

The French are adorable, no? As snooty and self-righteous as ever (ahem, unjustified Olympics smack-talking), those zany Frenchies still seem to be slaves to the American tourist's dollar. And since the dollar is as puny as ever, some French hotels are proffering fixed-dollar rates in the hopes of attracting more cash-strapped Americans.

Paris: Bet Your Paris Holiday on the U.S. Economy

With a few of our big financial institutions falling out of the sky and our analysts all jittery, Concorde Hotels is inviting travellers to bet on the volatility of the currency markets when booking their holiday. What do you think of this deal?

Concorde is offering fixed dollar rates at two of its largest Paris hotels, the Hotel du Louvre and the Hotel Lutetia, between 11 July and 31 August.

In other words, the dollar rate you see when booking is the dollar rate you'll pay when you stay, regardless of any fluctuations in the euro/dollar exchange rates.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/marieantoinettedeal.png" class="imgborder">We're used to 'romantic weekend' hotel packages and 'winter break' special deals, but <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/concorde%20hotels">Concorde Hotels</a> in Paris is now offering a Marie Antoinette package. Marie Antoinette was that 18th-century It girl who married the French King Louis XVI aged 14, spent the country's money on dresses and jewellery, ate too much, drank too much, partied too hard, and ended up not legless but headless when the French peasants revolted and guillotined the royal family. We can think of quite a few modern-day Marie-Antoinettes....no names mentioned. So what does a <a href="http://www.concorde-hotels.com/en/promotions/index.aspx?h=p2">Marie Antoinette hotel package</a> consist of? Eating too much, drinking too much, spending too much on dresses and jewellery and, er, well, hopefully not the last part?
