The Sofitel Arc de Triomphe is a seven-storey hotel occupying a typical example of mid-19th-century Haussman Parisian architecture, situated within 200 metres of the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysées. The 135 guestrooms feature traditional decor in warm pastel colours with period furniture and framed prints.

The hotel's restaurant, Le Clovis, serves classic French dishes alongside innovative contemporary variations, in an intimate setting decorated in soft shades. Guests can also head to the informal bar, which offers live music and serves drinks and cocktails until late. The concierge can book tickets and help make reservations, while multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk can store valuables in the safe-deposit box and arrange dry- cleaning and laundry services. There is room service available, and the business centre offers computer terminals, six meeting rooms and wireless Internet connections. Other amenities include complimentary newspapers, porter and floor butler services, a video library and a valet-parking service (surcharge). The area around the hotel offers some of Paris's foremost landmarks and attractions, with the Arc de Triomphe, Parc Monceau and the Champs Elysées all within 200 metres. The Musee d'Orsay, housing works by Degas, Cezanne and Monet, is one kilometre from the hotel, as are the Grand and Petit Palaces, twin museums built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900.
