2. Cancellation: keep your options open
During a trade show, non-refundable rates are cheaper but commit you even if your plans change. On Booking, filter for “Free cancellation” and note the exact cancellation deadline, including the time and the hotel’s time zone.
Also check whether the hotel charges a deposit or the full stay when you book.
3. Total cost: compare the real price
In Paris, the tourist tax is added per night and per person and is not always included in the first price shown. Add daily public transport if you are not within walking distance of the show.
To compare two hotels, add up: nightly rates, taxes and fees, breakfast if you want it, and the round trip to the show for each day.
Book early during shows: hotels in the 15th and in Issy are the first to sell out.
