Situated on the Esplanade de La Défense between the avenues linking the Arc de Triomphe to the Grande Arche, the Meliá Paris La Défense puts you within striking distance of the city’s main attractions. With Metro Line 1 literally across the street, you have direct access to the Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe and the rest of central Paris in around 10–15 minutes. The hotel is also close to the huge Les 4 Temps shopping centre and only a short transfer from ParisLongchamp Racecourse, making it a practical and stylish base for your Prix de l’Arc weekend.

Guests enjoy a range of inviting on-site dining options. Le Miroir restaurant serves elegant Mediterranean cuisine with French influences in a bright, contemporary setting overlooking the esplanade. On the 19th floor, the Skyline Bar offers expertly crafted cocktails, wines and light bites against a spectacular 360° panoramic backdrop of the Paris skyline and Eiffel Tower. The lobby bar, The Place, provides a relaxed spot for drinks and lighter fare throughout the day.

Customer Reviews

"Another great trip to the Arc. The information sent in advance was very helpful as it let us know about the RER train service to the hotel rather than the Metro which was so much better. As ever the team were exceptional, the whole break was so well organised. Already booked again for next year, a must do break."

"My son and I went to the Arc for the first time this year, 2025. We enjoyed it enormously and were very impressed with Racing Breaks and the package they put together for us. I needed Assistance for Eurostar which was organised by Dave Arthur and it all worked smoothly. The return at the Gare du Nord was less easy as the station was a disorganised scrum but that was nothing to do with RB.
We have already booked for next year with a few minor changes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Racing Breaks and look forward to using them again."
