Hotel near the Olympia Paris
Practical guide for a successful concert night
Catching a show at the Olympia isn’t just about seeing a concert; it’s about diving into music history and feeling the vibe of a legendary french hall that has hosted the world’s greatest artists. But once the tickets are in your pocket, the logistical questions pop up: how do you enjoy the party without the stress of transport schedules or traffic?
To ensure a perfect experience from start to finish, the winning strategy is to book a hotel near the Olympia. By checking into the Charing Cross, located just a 10-minute walk from the venue, you turn a simple night out into a genuine, stress-free Parisian getaway.
Pre-show: getting ready stress-free
Forget the race against the clock from the train station or the last-minute Parisian traffic jams. When you stay at Charing Cross, your evening begins on a relaxing note long before the first chord is struck.
The major perk of choosing our hotel near the Olympia is having your room available beforehand. It acts as a “base camp” that changes everything:
- Travel light: No need to wonder what to do with your bags or suitcase if you’re coming from out of town. Leave them securely in your room.
- Relaxing prep: Instead of rushing, take the time to shower, change, and get ready at your own pace in the modern comfort of our rooms.
- Beat the ban: Concert halls are strict about prohibited items (bottles, cameras, large bags). By sleeping nearby, you can head out with just the essentials (ticket and phone) and skip the crowded cloakroom lines entirely.
After the encore: a quick and easy return
The end of the show is often the downside of a big night out. The house lights come up, the adrenaline drops, and reality hits: hunting for a taxi or squeezing into a packed metro station.
When residing in a hotel near the Olympia like the Charing Cross, this stress simply doesn’t exist. Your return journey is a leisurely stroll through the illuminated streets of Paris, still buzzing from the concert’s energy. It is quick and seamless, especially appreciated late at night.
In just a few moments, you go from the excitement of the crowd to the hushed calm of your room. It’s the perfect cocoon to debrief on the show, watch your videos, and drift off to sleep peacefully. And the next day? A delicious breakfast awaits to extend the pleasure a little longer before you head out.
Enjoy the neighborhood: instant parisian immersion
Being a neighbor to the Olympia also means having the privilege of experiencing the Madeleine-Opéra district’s atmosphere. Since you have zero travel time to factor in, you gain precious hours to enjoy Parisian life.
Why not start the evening with a shopping spree at Galeries Lafayette or Printemps, just a stone’s throw away? or simply stroll past the Opéra Garnier? On the dining front, the location of Charing Cross allows you to have dinner without checking your watch every five minutes. You can even treat yourself to a local ritual: a drink or some tapas at the famous “Petit Olympia,” the bistro attached to the hall, to get into the mood before simply crossing the street to join the queue.
Don’t let logistics spoil the fun. For your next concert, choose comfort and book your stay at Hotel Charing Cross.
