The Greet brand made its first appearance in the Paris region with a hotel in the 18th arrondissement, the greeting Paris Nord. The hotel is the result of the transformation of an ibis Budget and is described by its manager Olivier Boulch as " just as suitable for business trips as for leisure breaks with family or friends "It's a great place to visit because of its proximity to the Gare du Nord, Montmartre and La Villette.
To the south-west of the capital, greet has also set up in Boulogne-BillancourtBoulevard Jean Jaurès. Because of its proximity to Roland Garros and the Parc des Princes, the hotel plays on the theme of sport in its decor, with antique golf rackets and clubs hanging on the walls and old changing rooms reused in the lobby. The hotel also has an outdoor courtyard that will soon be home to a garden.
