Check rates for InterContinental Paris Le Grand by IHG
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Parishotel search — search for “InterContinental Paris Le Grand by IHG” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +33 1 40 07 32 32 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

Should you book this hotel?
The verdict
Book it for the Opéra address and the breakfast; do not book it expecting a flawless five-star room — our hotel data provider’s own guest analysis is harsh on cleanliness and room conditions despite a 9.0 out of 10 supplier score.
The geography is why this hotel is here. our hotel data provider puts Palais Garnier at 0.1 km, Galeries Lafayette at 0.3 km, the Tuileries at 0.9 km and the Louvre at 1.25 km. Location scores a flat 10 out of 10 in the guest analysis, with the prose calling out a historically significant address and easy access to the city.
The supplier rating is 9.0 out of 10 from 3,700 reviews, captured 6 January 2026. That headline number sits beside category scores that tell a different story: cleanliness 8.38 with a summary that room conditions were poor; room quality 7.84, the weakest category, citing small rooms, poor heating and smell; value for money 8.33 with “not good value for the price”. We are not averaging those into a new score — we are refusing to pretend the headline erases the detail.
Food and beverage is the clear strength at 9.88 out of 10, and breakfast with made-to-order omelettes is named as a highlight. Service scores 9.35 while the same analysis flags significant service issues — another number/prose split worth reading before you pay five-star money.
Facilities match the brand tier: spa/wellness, fitness centre, sauna, restaurant, bar, private parking and an airport shuttle are all listed. There is no swimming pool in the facility list. Check-in runs from 03:00 PM to 11:30 PM; check-out is 12:00 PM. Pets are not listed as allowed.
Best for
- Travellers who want to walk out onto the Opéra and the Grands Boulevards
- Business or couple trips where the address and breakfast matter more than a perfect room score
- Anyone who wants IHG loyalty points on a landmark Paris stay
Not for
- Guests who will not tolerate room or cleanliness complaints at five-star rates — both are named in the guest analysis
- Anyone who needs a pool on site; none is listed
- Travellers with pets; pets are not listed as allowed

This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.

Head to head
InterContinental Paris Le Grand vs Hôtel Saint-Pétersbourg Opéra & Spa
Two Opéra hotels a few streets apart — one five-star IHG flagship, one four-star with a spa — answering the real question: do you pay for the badge, or for the calmer guest scores?
The other Paris hotels we cover
Hôtel Des Grands Voyageurs
4-star · Saint-Germain & Luxembourg
A four-star on rue de Vaugirard, 0.3 km from Luxembourg Gardens — Left Bank calm, strong service praise, and guest scores that look perfect until you read the small-print complaints.
Hôtel Saint-Pétersbourg Opéra & Spa
4-star · Opéra & Grands Boulevards
A four-star with a spa on Rue Caumartin, 0.2 km from Palais Garnier — the spend-less Opéra alternative, with stronger room-quality scores than the five-star next door.
Novotel Paris Les Halles
4-star · Les Halles & Louvre
A four-star Novotel on Place Marguerite de Navarre — Louvre 0.7 km, Notre-Dame 1.1 km — central enough that location forgives a lot, and the guest data says you will need that forgiveness.
