What are my options in transportation from CDG to the Arc de Triumphe Hilton hotel in Paris?

We will be landing at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris and are staying at the Arc de Triumphe Hilton hotel.

We would prefer public trasportation to save money if possible. Perhaps take the RER closer to the city then a taxi from there?

Thanks!

The closest metro station to the hotel is Courcelles. You can take a combination of RER and metro to get there, plus a wee bit of walk (just a couple of minutes). There is no need to use taxi.

There are multiple ways to combine the RER and metro but I'll give you one that is the most straight forward, involving only one connection change at Gare du Nord.

From the airport, take RER B to Gare du Nord. At Gare du Nord, follow the correspondance sign for metro line 2, where the station name is La Chapelle. When arrive at La Chapelle, you want to take the metro line 2 in direction of Porte Dauphine. Get off at Courcelles. Look for Rue de Courcelles and the hotel is at number 51-57.

The journey requires a single ticket from the airport, and it costs 8.40 per person/adult.

The other answerer is spot on re having a lot of steps to take when using metro/RER and there aren't always elevators/lifts, just plain good old fashion stairs. I normally travel very light that I've forgotten this could be an issue for travellers who have luggage/suitcases to carry. Therefore it's up to yourself to balance this up with your budget for the transportation costs.

Of course it'll be somewhat more expensive to take airport shuttle, about double the price of RER/metro. If there are 2 of you, the RER/metro will cost you 16.80 while the shuttle 35.00. But of course, shuttle will send you door to door.

Alternatively Air France navette (15 euro per person) runs from airport to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile, where the Arc de Triomphe is. From there you can either take a 10 minutes walk, or grab a taxi, or take the public bus (number 22 or 53, in direction away from Arc de Triomphe) at Ave de Friedland, and stop at Haussmann-Courcelles. This option is not money-saving like taking RER/metro, and at the price you're paying, you may as well pick the airport shuttle.

Take the RER to Chatelet, then either take a taxi or change and take the RER A direction Cergy-Saint Germain en Laye, and get off at Charles de Gaulle Etoile. You will be at the Arc de Triomphe. Then either you walk or you take the metro line 2 direction Nation and get off at Courcelles.

Take the coach to Opera, then take the RER A to Charles de Gaulle Etoile or take the taxi to the hotel.

Edit: the remark below is a good point. If you like to carry heavy suitcases up and down stairs Paris metro is right for you.

Well if you have the money to stay at Arc de Triomphe Hilton am sure you can spare some money and time for the taxi.

parisian suburbs really aren't handicapped people friendly which means that you will meet A LOT of stairs going up and down in between every correspondance and believe me, from CDG airport to your hotel, there will be lots. It will be a nightmare taking all the luggages down the stairs and managing to bring them up on the subway.

Check out this website instead for shuttles : http://www.airportshuttleparis.com/page/22247/Airports.html

The fares are actually reasonable considering that subway ticket will also be expensive.
