The Splendide Royal is a hidden gem in Paris. It's not a large, splashy hotel. In fact there is almost no lobby to speak of and the restaurant connected to the lobby is the food service. It's almost hidden away vs the big hotels of Paris. But that ended up making it absolutely perfect for traveling with our two teen daughters. We reserved the "family suite" (which is a large 1 bedroom suite connected to another room) and the result was we had a VERY large, full-floor luxury "apartment" to ourselves. Of course it was an apartment with full housekeeping service and 24-hour lobby, etc, but it felt like a private home. The street was quiet and lovely and still very centrally-located, and coming home felt like coming back to our own luxury home in Paris. We had a nice French breakfast every morning in the connected restaurant, and the hotel ended up being the perfect base for walking around and exploring Paris. If we were in the mood for a bigger, splashier hotel this wouldn't be the choice. But for traveling as a family it was absolutely perfect, felt like living in luxury in a big Paris apartment, and was a great family-friendly 5-star experience. Highly recommended
