**Please note that the executive floor is now on the ground level and offers no views at all.

Expect to read off most things from the hotel. Ask for a room ending in the numbers described above. If none are available ask for a room on the 4th floor or above overlooking Concorde.

Stayed at the Hilton, Paris CDG again last week, and have a few comments that might come in handy for your excellent site.

The rooms that overlook the taxyways plus Terminals 1 & 3 and “Concorde” are odd numbered 803 – 817 inclusive. Room 801 is a corner suite, so more expensive. When a/c land on the Southern runways (26L/R) nearly all of them can be seen from these rooms after they taxy off the runway. Only the smaller a/c mostly Air France CRJ’s, Emb’s and RJ-85’s seem to turn off early so you don’t see any of these.

Check in time is usually 14.00 and check out is 12.00, however a late check out at 13.00 is also available at no extra charge, so if the weather is inclement, then you don’t have to worry about where to go. If you’ve got a late flight back, after checking out just take the lift back to the 8th floor and sit in the very comfortable armchairs in the lobby area, because you can see both sets of runways from there. None of the staff (including security) bother you there. If they do ask what you are doing you just say that you’ve checked out and have a late flight, so you’ll be there for a few hours before going back to the airport. “No problem Sir” is usually their answer.

A further report:

You need a high floor room facing east, rooms that end in ’16’ are corner rooms and have superb view of T2 and taxiway between terminals. The executive room is now on the ground floor and has no views of the airfield. End of each corridor has huge windows with either a view of T2, T3/T1, landings and take offs. each floor near the lifts have a small lobby and views can be seen from here. As I found out to my dismay, I booked an executive room, and as no airport view rooms were available, I had to have an inside room with no view. Don’t do the executive rooms, not worth it. Any room on floor 7,6,5 will have views. Shuttle bus only goes from T2 to the hotel and these are free. There is a shop in the train station (1 min walk away) and reasonably priced food and drink can be bought here and taken back to your room. As I found out, if you ask for a room facing the airport, they ignore the comments, even if you book far in advance. They are only interested in the business customer

You have a choice to request a room facing the south (Air France terminal) or the North side of the airport. We recommend the north rooms as you get a view of the Northern non Air France terminal, link taxiway and the North Runways. Around 50% of the Air France traffic uses the northern runway to arrive or depart so you will not miss too much.

When requesting a north room ask for rooms 916 912 908 904 where you will get a view enabling you to read off most movements from the north side. For southbound views you are looking for room numbers 1033, 920 924 928 932 and 936 where you can read off traffic going to the Air France terminals.
