Private Transfers
Enjoy seamless private return transfers to ParisLongchamp (approximately 20 minutes).
Nestled on Avenue de Friedland in the prestigious 8th arrondissement, the Hotel Napoléon sits in the heart of Paris’s Golden Triangle. The Arc de Triomphe is virtually on your doorstep (a 2-minute walk), the Champs-Élysées is a short stroll away, and the Charles de Gaulle–Étoile station (Metro lines 1, 2, 6 and RER A) is less than five minutes on foot. ParisLongchamp is approximately 20 minutes by private transfer, making this an exceptionally convenient and stylish base for the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe weekend. Nearby you’ll also find Parc Monceau, Avenue Montaigne’s luxury boutiques, the Grand Palais and the Seine.
At the heart of the hotel, Bar & Restaurant 1807 offers a refined yet relaxed Parisian experience from morning until late. Start the day with a generous breakfast, enjoy light lunches or seasonal French classics for dinner, and unwind with creative cocktails in the elegant bar or on the terrace overlooking the avenue. The intimate atmosphere, quality produce and attentive service make it the perfect place to gather before or after a day at the races.
