As a bit of a travel geek, staying in a room with a big window in front of the desk that looks right onto a taxing area and runway was a plus of staying at the Sheraton Paris CDG Airport Hotel. Sad but true!

The hotel is the only one within the airport terminals at Paris CDG, situated after terminal 2E and walkable from any of the Terminal 2 areas.

It is a contemporary looking hotel with a nice look and feel in the public rooms. The rooms are large, and well equipped with huge desk, sofa, big and comfortable bed. The bathroom is a bit dated but has a separate shower and bath, which is strange and good for a hotel.

The restaurant was efficient but fairly expensive for both dinner and breakfast.

There is a large conference/ meeting room level with many meeting rooms. Again very efficient.

Overall that was one of the better airport hotels that I have stayed at, as usually with the high turn you can often feel a bit like a number rather than a guest. That was not the case here.

A perfectly good airport hotel. And handy as meant no minibus to and from like all the others.
