The district is large: check the walking distance between the hotel and your meeting's entrance, including the raised-deck passages and stairs.
Getting there
La Défense is served by metro line 1, the RER A, Transilien lines L and U and tram T2. From Roissy-CDG expect two changes; see from the airport to the centre. For the whole district, see La Défense, the complete guide.
Weekday and weekend rates
Weekday evening rates are higher than in Paris and often fall at weekends when offices are empty. Compare night by night, since the gap can be large; no amount is quoted here because it changes daily.
If you would rather sleep in Paris
Metro line 1 links La Défense with Concorde and Bastille in a few dozen minutes; a room in the 8th or the Marais costs more but gives you more to do in the evening. See hotels near the Champs-Élysées.
