Saint-Paul Hotel Description

******TRIPADVISOR TOP 70 PARIS HOTELS ******

The Hotel Saint-Paul-Rive Gauche, a residence dating from the end of the XVIIth century, is ideally situated in the 6th arrondissement of Paris in the rue Monsieur le Prince near numerous monuments and museums. This historic thoroughfare is named after the Prince de Conde, cousin of Louis the XIVth. It is getting on for four centuries that its walls have breathed the very spirit of the Latin Quarter situated as it is between the Sorbonne and the Luxembourg gardens. It is owned by the 4th generation of the same family of hoteliers who strive to maintain the high standards of this bijou dwelling.

Breakfast is served in a striking vaulted cellar in which we find an authentic well. This led, some time ago now, to the hotel being named the "Hotel du Reservoir." Some claim that Franciscan monks once lodged here. The reception desk is near a small patio backing onto a wall built on the foundations of the ancient Philippe Auguste defensive wall. According us a little touch of nature, it contains two magnificent Anduze vases with flowers and decorative laurel trees.

The decorator has imprinted his own distinctive style in each of the rooms and suites; none is identical to another. Some have four-poster beds, one has a twinkling star ceiling and a Jacuzzi and another, a trompe- l'oeil painting. All are air-conditioned. Standard and classic rooms have double beds and look out onto the rear of the building; the larger superior rooms mostly give onto the street. All have double glazing. Also available: triples and two others which can accommodate up to four people, one being a duplex ideal for families. Baby cots on demand and baby-sitting service can be provided.
